Options for season ticket holders set to be revealed with no prospect of attending games on the horizon. I personally wouldn't be taking anything: https://www.pafc.co.uk/news/2020/octobe ... mans-chat/

One consideration is that renewing annually secures your seat for the next season ( if we are all allowed back next season).Liam Vercoe":1heth5l5 said:I imagine some might have more of an issue with the fact ST holders are essentially paying 50% more than non-season ticket holders for iFollow rather than not being allowed in to the ground.

IFollow for overseas subscribers is £140 for all 46 games at £3 a game.
There can't be much money going to the club under that deal.

Brechin Hedge":1x3jk0rl said:offering refunds which are then donated back to the club has two material tax benefits.
Firstly where a refund is given the club can claim back the VAT declared on the income so at say half of a £385 ticket that is £32.08 ticket. if the money is then donated to the Trust, rather than the club, the Trust can claim gift aid on that donation which is a further £48.12 per ticket.
So Argyle refund £385 x 50 per cent = £192.50 and claim back VAT of £32.08. The £192.50 is then donated to the Community Trust with Gift Aid of £48.12 so Argyle have actually only 'lost' £192.50 less £80.20.
Not sure if Argyle are structuring the arrangement in this way but lots of EFL clubs are so the initially perceived loss actually becomes a credit of £80.20.
Most things are done for tax so i guess this will be a large part of the planning on this issue.
