JAKARTA - Several Premier League clubs have committed to refund the purchase of season tickets for the 2019/2020 season which will continue without spectators. However, Newcastle United was accused of neglecting to fulfill this promise.
The Newcastle United Supporters Trust (NUST) fan group has accused the club of not providing refunds for suspended games and continuing to sell season tickets.
NUST said they saw no compelling reason for current owner Mike Ashley to withhold ticket refunds.
"We understand that the club is in a complex situation regarding the prospect of the sale of the club by the current owner," NUST said in a letter sent to managing director Lee Charnley as quoted by the Daily Mail, Thursday, June 4.
"It does not give your supporters the right to neglect duty," he added.
The letter asks for the refund of season ticket owners for every home and away game played without spectators, and a stop in ticket sales for the 2020/2021 season until there is certainty about the course of the competition.
Ashley's 13-year streak at Newcastle was marred by a number of disagreements with fans.
He has twice seen his team relegated from the Premier League amid criticism of a lack of investment on the pitch. Last week, Newcastle announced they had made a profit of £ 35 million from the 2018/2019 season.
In the near future, Newcastle is likely to come under new ownership led by the Saudi Arabian consortium. However, their £ 300 million transaction is still awaiting approval from the Premier League operator.
