    I’ll pester them for the last 5 or 4 or whatever games it is back on my season ticket.

    City only really emerged towards the end of his tenure, whilst Chelsea emerged during an SAF off-season. The club he did see off was Arsenal.

    Surely if behind closed doors is confirmed then the fixture will have a date. Therefore... refund.

    He responded to Chelsea's back to back titles with 3 in a row and a European Cup. Agreed on City but they're win only came with an injury time winner and he won it back at a canter the following year.

    Or the people who bought tickets get a live stream.

    Or I could have a refund as they're not able to provide the service I paid for.

    I've no real interest in a live stream if I'm honest, I'm not the sort of person watches/streams every game anyway. Would rather my money back.

    Sure Arsenal and Spurs fans will be delighted at paying 70 notes for a stream.

    The only worry I have there is that this time next week Mrs No7 & I were meant to be in Positano & Capri for 10 days. BA cancelled our flights (we got out money back), but we booked the hotels (3 in total) ourselves. Paid upfront and got a good deal (lol we booked in December before you all say "I bet they were giving it away in March"), but the hotels aren't playing ball with the refund as they say non refundable...even though they are closed. A voucher is the best they can do. Looks like the credit card company may be able to help but real PIA as even the travel insurance is fluffy with a refund.

    If the clubs are losing money they may offer a voucher.

    Yeah I expect that is what they'll do, almost certainly with STH's I'd say. Perhaps different with match tickets but who knows.

    I can still be a prick about it though, if they're gonna force ahead with completion of the season for financial reasons, and therefore get the full tv payment, then they should sort people out if they request it imo.

    I'm just venting a bit and it doesn't apply to me but I'm sure there's many who have lost their jobs/income etc.

    Yep I'm venting too - more annoyed that for the first time in ages for my hotels we didn't do payment on arrival and free cancellation.

    ..It could be worse. I could have missed my connecting flight to Milan ;)

    You've just reminded I've got a hotel booked in Wales for just over 4 weeks time I need to cancel.

    Bound to happen if it's the first time in ages you've paid upfront, lesson learned!

    That takes me back No7. Back in the nineties (I can't remember exactly when) Mrs Game and I toured down through Italy starting at Venice and ending up in Sorrento. While we were there we hired a car for 4 days and on the first day drove the Amalfi Way to Ravello stopping off at Positano and Amalfi. It was one of the most beautiful places I had ever been to but the drive was a bit hairy because as you will know Italian drivers can be a little bit suicidal. The sheer drop on one side didn't stop them from overtaking on blind bends or even in the tunnels along the way.
    The next day we drove to Pompei (I don't know who they were playing but I think they lost 0-4) which was also a bit stressful. On the third day I took the car back, I'd had enough of the crazy ****ers. I know you are half Italian, so I don't expect it fazes you at all to drive in Italy but I still remember it some 25 years later. :emoticon-0107-sweat

    The further south you go in Italy the crazier the driving gets.

    This pause in the season is so ironic considering the annoying long pauses that VAR caused this season. CoronaVARus.

    my best friend got married in Ravello. Stunning. I drove that route too with her brother who turns down my offer of a lift back to the airport...
