Leeds United have reassured their support that they are working on ways to offer refund options as the rest of the season will be played behind closed doors.
Whilst we are still awaiting official confirmation on what will happen in the remaining games, it has been clear for some time that any restart will be without fans. And, it has even been suggested supporters won’t be allowed into the stadium until a vaccine is found.
With Leeds still scheduled to play five home league games, the fans will be missing out, with season ticket holders having paid for the games up front. Therefore, the club released a short statement on their official site confirming that they are still exploring options for the support and they hope to make a further announcement in due course.
📰 #LUFC would like to reassure ticket holders that we are working on refund and club credit options following this week's Government announcements

Given the success the Whites have had, with Marcelo Bielsa’s men currently top of the Championship, the vast majority of fans urged the club to keep the money as they know how important it is, whilst they also stated they’ve had value for money.
Here we look at some of the reaction…
You can keep my money and put it towards signing Meslier White Harrison and Augustin

Please have a ‘keep the money’ option. I’d rather my Season Ticket money goes to the club. MOT.

The initial responses to this post make me smile. What a fan base we have that almost all of them are just saying “keep my money” 👏 @TheSquareBall
