Guest WashyGeordie Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 "Yet my authority was based on a deadline cancellation date of 28th Feb when I signed up. And even quoting your own T&Cs the club have not notified me on any change to this date as stated in my previous reply whether it be letter or email. To not let the consumer know of any changes surely breaches the said T&Cs." My reply so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/newcastle-united-fans-wanting-cancel-4751388 The club has informed supporters who buy tickets on the 10-year deal that they can only leave half-way through the 2013-2014 season. Fan Tom Ireland, 69, of South Shields, South Tyneside wanted to stop supporting the team, but club bosses said he must wait. Tom, who has supported United since he was a boy of 13, said: “I tried to cancel and get a refund on next season’s ticket, but I was told it was not allowed. I rang them up and said I was not happy with some of Joe Kinnear’s comments. “I have supported them since the 1950s when Bob Stokoe was a player and I can name entire squads from that era. But I have had enough, I did not sign up for all of this.” Tom is three years into a 10-year deal where he pays the same amount each year for a season ticket. Club bosses were sympathetic but said there was little they could do. Supporter liaison manager Lee Marshall said: “When the season ticket is initially applied for, supporters and the club agree to a set of terms and conditions which stipulates a date ahead of each season by which the ticket holder can request to cancel. “Given that Mr Ireland purchased a 10-year season ticket, it is highly likely that his cancellation deadline is in February ahead of each season so I asked him to check in his terms and conditions in order to be sure. “This date is likely to be in January for those with nine-year season tickets and, again, I would encourage season ticket holders to refer to their terms and conditions. “We are unable to cancel Mr Ireland’s season ticket for the 2013/14 season and I informed him that payments he has made towards the ticket are non- refundable.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I dont have a lot time for Wraith but I agreed with pretty much everything he said. His comment about being told not to criticize Ashley was interesting yet hardly surprising. Glad I wasnt the only one picking up on Emerson rushing him off when he started talking the KK Court case.

Mick Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I might have found a way out which I'll try tomorrow, to be a season ticket holder you must be a member, I can't see anything in the terms and conditions that states that you can't cancel your membership at any time so I'm going to inform the club that I'm cancelling that from 30th June.

Not sure the the 97 (almost two thirds) of posters that don't currently have a season ticket will have an effect? Taking the numbers at face value you have 57% of 68 posters not renewing. 43% will renew. Relatively even split for such an angry forum where "apologists" are much maligned.

Two lads I go with have chucked it last week (possibly three) and myself. The 100 probably related to cancellations received in time for the cancellation date. I don't doubt they've had more in the couple of days after, and then even more in the last 24 hours as people felt comfortable making the decision in bigger numbers.
