FTSE 250 salaries for directors of a third division club? Is that not a cost they have thought about cutting? Not sure how sustainable it is paying a league 1 FD 4x the salary of the average league 1 player.

Can keep ours my lad would have only got to one more anyway and depending on league place I more than likely would have went to watch him
Like many others I'd appreciate a free stream but wouldn't want a refund. That being said even if they charged for a stream I'd get it on iptv, but would be nice for them to offer

People saying that wanting money back are not fans while not knowing people’s circumstances is typical of some comments on here. It’s crackers.
some people might struggle to pay for tickets for a few people ( family) and 3 or 4 games plus many Saturday fixtures moving to midweek which for some is more awkward.
personally I won’t ask for anything back at all. Can certainly see why some would though.
uncertain times in the world never mind football so kick backs off the club are the last of worries at the minute. It might be an idea to reassure fans that they will get some sort of bonus game or discount gesture to be confirmed at a later date for those who do Carry on regardless. Just as a sweetener for those who are in 2 minds or whatever.

Couldn’t see me asking for a refund or wanting it,I’ve got uncertain times ahead being self employed but the season ticket money Is gone.
Might sound crackers but I quite like the thought of Sunderland being there to watch the other side of this shit storm. So 20000 50quids not being refunded could help with that.
I do however understand people may have paid for 5/6 tickets n that could be over 300quid needing that back. It’s all subjective and me not wanting it back would not make me critical of someone who did.
Also on a side note any prospective buyer is going to be a little put off with a million quid hole in the books

Not expecting a refund but would appreciate free streaming if they play out matches behind closed doors.
Longer to pay for next seasons ticket would be appreciated as I'm not allowed back to work until mid-June which is after the first direct debit installment.

If we asked for money back enmasse it'd be like taking food off a starving person. I say the club should offer us free first game for fa, league and efl trophy next season at best

~No chance of a fund on Season cards even if you wanted it. Although as several contributors have noted some kind of gesture from the club would not be an unreasonable expectation. Individual tickets are different and should be eligible for a refund.
Interesting one would be if the football league declared the season void and for the results to be expunged as has happened in the lower leagues. It could be argued that there is nothing to stop the season being extended until the end of December 2020, other than financial implications such as TV money for the season 20-21 season, Euro 2020. In such a case fans could argue that they had paid for a "nonevent" and therefor be entitled to a refund on season tickets. Clubs would also be able to seek compensation from the FA/EFL so a vast amount of lolly is involved, and doubtless lawyers up and down the land will be having wet dreams at the thought of such litigation.

Don’t refund but spread the DD payments over a longer period give people that are struggling a better chance

I don't think they can do that refund without the say-so from Blackpool, and that won't come until they can be sure the fixture won't be played, or played behind closed doors.

I think the answer to your first question is definitely yes (Sale of Goods Act?).
As to your second question: each to their own depending on individual circumstances / point of view.
