That’s interesting, while nobody knew exactly how things would pan out, the vast majority of matches behind closed doors was definitely possible and probably likely. I wonder if clubs were ridiculously optimistic about the season or just relying on the goodwill of fans not to want refunds. Maybe clubs should have mothballed for a season and stuck everyone on furlough.
The Industry needs television money, sales of merchandise etc as well as gate money. Clubs like ourselves get persuaded to continue playing to keep their assets fit (the players) and most pertinently to keep the funds from the premier league/sky etc flowing in. No product = no income.
FWIW I didn't buy a season ticket because of the possibility of games going behind closed doors though I did expect season ticket holders to be given access to all games not just the home league ones.
