A proportionate refund will be made in certain circumstances, save where the Club cancels the Season Ticket because of a breach of the Ground Regulations.

1.6.       In the event that the Season Ticket is lost or stolen you must inform the Club immediately. 

2.  Term  

These Conditions apply for this Season only and accordingly, unless terminated earlier in accordance with their terms, will terminate at the end of this Season. 

3.  Admission to the Ground  

3.1        The Season Ticket should be presented for scanning at the turnstiles. The Club reserves the right to refuse admission where a scanned Season Ticket returns an error code or is otherwise deemed invalid.

3.2        The Season Ticket shall admit you to all home league matches played by the Club’s official first team during the specified Season at the Ground. The Season Ticket does not allow you access to any other Club match including, but not limited to, any Cup matches or pre-season friendly matches. 

3.3        If, for any reason, it is decided that any of the Club’s home league matches during the Season is to be played at another stadium, then one alternative ticket will be issued to you in respect of that match. 

3.4        No refunds shall be paid in respect of any matches which the Season Ticket entitled you to attend but which you did not attend. In the event that games have to be played behind closed doors due to global pandemic or other emergency restrictions, season ticket holders can apply for a partial refund. Refunds will be considered donations if unclaimed by 31 May 2025. Refunds will not be claimable if there is a live stream of the game provided by the club as an alternative. 

3.5        All persons (including children) must have a valid card or e-ticket when entering the Ground. The Club will not allow children (or any other person) to be carried through the turnstiles without a valid card or e-ticket for the relevant match. 

3.6        Without prejudice to paragraph 1.3 above, any attempt to gain access to the Ground wearing or carrying apparel that demonstrate support for the Visiting Club, may result in admission being refused or you being ejected from the Ground and in such circumstances no refund or alternative seat will be offered. 

3.7        The Season Ticket must be available for inspection and produced by you on demand by any official, steward or security staff of the Club at all times where the Season Ticket has been used to gain admission to the Ground. 

3.8        The Season Ticket shall not entitle the Ticket Holder to reserve the same, or any other, seat at the Ground for any subsequent season. Furthermore, requesting a specific seat does not guarantee that the club will meet that request. In the event that the seat offered by the club is not acceptable, a refund will be offered provided that the league fixtures have not yet begun. Refunds requested subsequent to the league starting may be prorated and are given purely at the discretion of the Club. This does not affect your statutory rights. 

3.9        The Club does not guarantee that the team for any particular match will necessarily only be selected from the Club’s regular first team players. The team manager may consider it desirable on occasions to omit regular first team players and select the team from the full playing squad. 

3.10        No guarantees can be given by the Club that a match will take place at a particular time or on a particular date. The Club reserves the right to reschedule any match without notice and without any liability whatsoever. Your Season Ticket will enable you to attend the re-arranged match if it is one of your pre-paid home league games. The Club will have no further liability whatsoever, including (but not limited to) any indirect or consequential loss or damage, loss of enjoyment or travel or accommodation costs. 

4.  Duplicate/replacement tickets  

4.1        If you have forgotten the Season Ticket, or otherwise cannot produce it, a duplicate matchday card or ticket may be obtained, at the Club’s discretion, upon payment of a nonrefundable administration fee of £5.00 at the Club office. The Club reserves the right to require proof of identity and/or withdraw this duplicate ticket facility for any particular match or matches without notice. 

4.2       The Club is not responsible for any Season Ticket which is lost, stolen, defaced, damaged or destroyed. If the Season Ticket is lost, stolen, defaced, damaged or destroyed, the Club may, subject to the Conditions, and in its discretion, issue a placement season ticket upon payment of a non-refundable fee of £5.00.

6.1        The Club reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to allocate, on a temporary basis,
