It is correct that Credit Card purchases are protected under section 75. You are incorrect in regard to Debit cards. Visa, Mastercard & Amex have a scheme called Chargeback which provides purchase protection on Debit card payments if you don’t receive the goods. It’s not a legal protection but is provided at the discretion of these companies. However It must be invoked within 120 days of your purchase or payment for service. You are also incorrect in your use of the term ‘scab’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to shell out again should the club be in a position to continue in the league. Safe to say anyone giving money to AL for next season is a scab. Even the slowest of Oldham fans can now see what a shambles we are. No excuses at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop using the word scab, fans are not oafc trade union members and can decide for themselves if they want to attend matches or not without such derogatory language.

Hartlepool also did it, season tickets ended up being £100 but they ended up with very few home POTD as a result. Think they went down that season.

We had been on a poor run prior to the offer but actually won 3 of the 4 chosen games. I paid only £200 for my ST the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, for example, you and your spouse have joint credit cards and the secondary card holder orders the goods/service in his/her name on the card, he/she isn't protected.

oafcmetty Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 "once the Early Bird period ends 125 supporters who have renewed or bought will be picked at random to be given a complimentary season ticket for the following season (2021/22). This effectively means 125 supporters will get two seasons for the price of one." Might buy one actually - got to be decent odds of getting two seasons for the price of one now (if they're honoured!)

Given various pay days I doubt we would have sold 20% of what we will sell after 1 week. Even so 1 in 20 (or less) is still fairly decent odds if it isn't a 'fixed' draw. I'd wager some of the lucky winners have already been decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
