Profits go to either the Community Trust or they allocate the seat(s) to "local good causes". The actual quote from the club is "Come renewal time next Spring, we will be initiating conversations with those ST holders who fail to notify us of their non-attendance (or simply don't attend) for two or more home fixtures." http://wfcforums.com/index.php?threads/keep-it-full.56105/ Think it's a little unfortunate this has come out sounding so punitive as it's really not such a bad idea on paper given games are usually supposedly sold out. Of course the Mail has already reported with swivel-eyed cynicism that their Community Trust is "a charity for which the club gets kudos and credit"... | | | |

Maybe they will struggle on the £100m tv money | | | |

You're really going out on a limb to defend people who won't send an email huh. If they let the club know they can't attend then their ST isn't at risk. This is in response to an issue their own fans have repeatedly complained about to the club. | | | |

Uh...the problem being, Watford are saying if you don't tell them you're missing the match, you'll be stripped of the season ticket you've already paid for. They should be asking people to please help them resell the seat, not threatening to fcuk you over and steal your £700. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
What a way to treat your supporters.... on 02:31 - Sep 14 with 2127 views | Match82 | Perhaps I missed this but where does it actually say the club will take their season ticket away? All I could see is one quote from a fan wondering if that was the case. If they are just reselling unused seats and giving the money to charity (or at least "charity") then I don't really have a problem with this. Although I do question exactly how they are going to resell a seat in advance if the person hasn't said whether they are coming or not. Or is that the point? I'm quite confused. | | | |

'WATFORD have warned season ticket holders they must tell them if they are not going to a game – or they could be STRIPPED of their seat.' | | | |
What a way to treat your supporters.... on 04:47 - Sep 14 with 2094 views | PlanetHonneywood | What if you serve notice on the club that’ll you be attending and then a genuine unforeseen event occurs to prevent you from going? Let’s say 30 minutes before your usual departure time, you learn of a death in the family; will you have to prepare a defence and adduce the death certificate to prove your innocence? | |

Where possible a selfie with the just deceased family member should keep the Watford box office sweet. With either of you holding a newspaper for proof of date. Difficult for a corpse but if they died while reading the newspaper - happy days! | | | |

What happens if you realise you can go and circumstances change? You've paid for that seat. You get there and they've sold something you've paid for to someone else. I think it's outrageous. | |

Good point well made: been a good few times when I have thought I couldn't go but been able to make it at the last moment. | | | |
What a way to treat your supporters.... on 11:30 - Sep 14 with 1676 views | BazzaInTheLoft | It’s from The Sun so I’m questioning it’s veracity. If it’s true I have some questions: 1) Do Watford sell out these days then? 2) What happens if the other people who get the seat don’t turn up? Again, we’re probably giving too much credit to The Sun by taking this seriously [Post edited 14 Sep 2019 11:33]

Not actually any details, or quotes there though. It's a clickbait headline. | | | |
What a way to treat your supporters.... on 21:37 - Sep 14 with 1158 views | rsonist | The story comes from an email sent out to ST holders. The link to the Watford board upthread contains the full text with details less sensational than those reported. Of course there will be plenty of caveats and hypotheticals to complicate but it's a start at addressing a real issue they're having. | | | |
What a way to treat your supporters.... on 22:25 - Sep 14 with 1038 views | LongsufferingR | So why can't they just arrange a system for ST holders to resell their seats if they can't go? Seems a simple thing to keep both fans and club happy. | | | |
