A leading group of Newcastle supporters has urged the club to refund fans for season tickets they are unlikely to be able to use until next spring at the earliest.
The Newcastle United Supporters Trust claims Newcastle have already banked about £7m in advance season-ticket sales for this season and is appealing to club officials to “do right by fans” and reimburse it.
Many St James’ Park season-ticket holders are on long-term, fixed-price deals, often spanning several years. Some have paid up front for the 2020-21 programme and others have money taken by direct debit each month.

Well, I'm glad the club has committed to refunding their fans eventually, and I understand it'll take a while to process them all, but I do hope they're not dragging their feet over this.
After all, some of these 18,000 people are bound to be in difficult financial situations right now ...
