is this true?

[villan from luton]

Us elderly fans have had some shite by the way. Lots have seen us go from Division one of the old league to Division three, which is when I became involved. Maybe they have seen worse things go on at the club, cos I know I have. Thing is, never once would I have thought about betraying my club, when I could have after hearing that Ron Saunders had resigned after a 6-0 win at Meadow Lane v Notts County. Went there 10 days later and lost 1-0, but still supported my club

I can't see many people taking there season tickets back when it all blows over everybody will ok again.

Maybe it's just because I am from across the pond and things may be done differently here, but when you return a sale here the only way you get cash is if you paid cash...do that many people pay that much money in cash as opposed to debit/credit cards?

[brian green]

Darren, wait till we lose our first home game and tell me this is  all going to blow over.

[willywombat]

We could appoint Doctor Harold Shipman as manager and I still wouldn't take my season ticket back.

That would surely be a shot in the arm to most of the elderly fans...

Nope, it's the same here, hence the story is bullsh*t.

And if you've paid with Mastercard, it can't be refunded to American Express or even a different Mastercard or certainly shouldn't be. Mainly because (as I understand it) your transaction is actually with the credit-card company and not the third party (in this case Aston Villa).

Mate at work phoned up to see if he could take his ST back. Presumably he paid cash for some reason, they told him to phone in advance to make sure they had enough money in store.

[Ian.]

Maybe it was the people paying on debit cards asking for cash back.

Slightyl off topic but it was funny.
I was in the Co-Op the other day in a massive queue only because I wanted cash back because all the cash points where I live were out of order. Anyway I only had some strawberries. The old chap behind me said to me "why are you in such a big queue for just them strawberries", so I explained. Anyway as I was leaving the queue (which maneuvering 3 kids takes time) when I heard the check out girl say to the chap "You can not have cash back when you are paying with cash!"
Bless his cotton socks!

was told about this by a bloser at work thursday night,was started by on a thread there just bloser bollocks http://www.that lot.com/read.php?1,564695

Out of intrest? Whens the latest date you can buy a season ticket? I won't be able to afford one til september

Would think they'd stop selling full season tickets just before first game. If you're strapped for cash til September you could do one of the instalment options - 4 monthly payments interest free, Villa credit card 9 months interest free, or 10 monthly instalments but you get hammered for interest on that one (an extra £50-60)

[Chap]

I think the deadline for the 4 month option has passed.

[b671]

deadline for 4 month option was 15th june

[CJ]

I think the deadline for the 4 month option has passed.

Both the instalment options expire on 30th June - I think they were extended probably due to slow sales

[Dave Clark Five]

Bloke at the cricket last night said that he had sent his 2 season tickets back and had been refunded. Had to keep correcting himself every now and again as in 'when we go to Fulham blah blah, oh, off course, we won't be there'.

It was, at that point, that I saw a tear come in his eye.

See you at Fulham mate!
