premier league- should fans paying £££ to see games that end 0-0 get a refund?

Match tickets are damn pricey these days, so methinks the players might put a bit more effort into it if their pay is likely to take a hit to recompense hard working fans who paid good money, but end up sitting through a no score bore..

You could always do it the way Junior is now playing where there has to be a result - they won 5-4 after overtime last Thursday. KO was 22:00 hrs CET

Following that logic, we would be paying on a view per goal basis?

this is why we need last 15 minutes of the game to be MULTI-BALL.

No, buying a football ticket is a gamble and that doesn't change at any level of the game

Absolutely not. You pay for a game, not goals.

Anyone who thinks the value of a match increases as goals go in doesn't understand football. Or they work for Sky...

If it's 0-0 at 80mins throw on an extra ball, keep throwing on balls every 2 minutes until there is a goal, then it's game over.

No suggestion to remove a player from each side every 5 mins until a goal is scored?

Draws are part of the game. The only rule I'd possibly want to change is an extra point for an away team winning by 2 goals but all that would do is mean the top teams get even more points, the bottom ones less and the gap grows even bigger. Bit of a shit idea thinking about it, sorry but much better than refund for fans if there is a draw imo.

I'm going to use the analogy of a restaurant, just out of boredom.

If you paid top dollar to go to one of the world's best restaurants, and food and/or service was shite, you would be entitled not to pay all of the bill.

Man Utd v Chelsea is supposed to be one of the world's top fixtures, all internationals, the crème de la crème of club football.

So if they serve up a turkey (not something you'd find on the Ivy menu) should the same apply?

You pay for a Ticket and if it ends up nil-nil, so be it. Last night wasn't that bad. It wasn't like there were no shots on Target was there?!
