Watford - Are they taking the mickey?

I can speak from personal experience, I missed 75% of last season through I'll health, I had lymphoma,and had to a load of chemotherapy, I had bought my season ticket prior to this, ,and it could have made more sense of i could have returned it and been refunded, and I could have started again this year, the big but in this case is that the thought of my seat being available when I wanted it helped me in my recovery in trying to get back to normal.

I so understand what you are saying, the chance to get to the game and get the distraction from the illness is such a tonic. The very best to you with your recovery.

You have no idea or imagination obviously. So I'll try and spell it out for you. What if you bought the season ticket then someone close to you got diagnosed with a serious illness and was undergoing debilitating treatment. Sometimes they are well enough for you to go although you might get a call to come back home at any point. You think you would want to explain your circumstances to some club official. I dispair of some if the posters on here.

Being epileptic, I have more than my fair share of understanding in regards to having events stripped from under your nose at the last minute - only recently I had to cancel on attending my cousin's wedding because (despite having purchased fairly expensive flights and accommodation) on the very morning I was due to travel I suffered a seizure.

My point was in regards to if a seat is left empty for an excessively high percentage of games, then I see no reason why the club should be wrong to raise an issue with it.

However, @Oxford57 's point that knowing his seat was there waiting for him on the occasions he did feel well enough to attend having a positive impact on his recovery is one well made.
 
Sort of wish we never make it to the prem so we don’t have to suffer the ‘Oxford fans’ who suddenly appear to watch the top 6.
I guess it’s modern football, but f**k off if you’re only there for the away team.


Edit: realise I’m being a bit sanctimonious, as I’m specifically referring to fans who, as an example, won’t go to a single game this season.
Even so the likelihood I’d bring a friend with me to a big game or something of the sort kind of contradicts my argument.

Supply & demand, capitalism in a pot. They (the club) have no care for "Fred" who has been watching them when they were shite, its all about £££`s.
From a personal view.....once I have bought my ST I will pick & choose the games I go to.
It is of no financial detriment to the club (I`ve already paid!).

This is outrageous as far as I am concerned, they have paid for that seat and whilst I get the reasoning it doesn't make it right. If anything this will probably reduce season ticket sales next year, probably significantly even if they don't get relegated.

I agree, this is disgusting I've paid for my season ticket. West Brom have my money are getting interest off it. I've been unwell and missed games probably miss more. Thing is that seat mine for a season
 
Would be fair if watford refunded the st holder for the non-attended game if watford cant resell the seat.

Cant have it both ways.
