Fans are being given a choice on whether to waive all or half of their refund, with the money going directly to Gareth Ainsworth’s playing budget.

Refunds can also be requested in a gift voucher to be used at the club shop or for tickets next season.

The statement read: “Wycombe Wanderers are humbled by the generosity shown by a significant number of season ticket and individual match ticket holders from the 2019/20 season, who have contacted the club to express their wish to waive any rebate or refund of their ticket due to the early cancellation of the season.

“The club has taken the decision to allocate the funds from this gesture towards Gareth Ainsworth’s playing budget for the 2020/21 season, and now ask all ticket holders to choose how they would prefer to settle the balance.

“The club would like to thank supporters in advance for their patience when claiming any refunds, due to the manual processes involved and the limited staffing numbers currently in operation at the stadium.

"We ask that all inquiries are sent via email to tickets@wwfc.com rather than by phone.”

Wycombe owner, Rob Couhig, has also thanked fans for their support but has placed no pressure on fans who are unable to waive their refunds.

Chairman Rob Couhig said: “We have made no secret of the financial challenges that have been posed by the suspension of the season and the subsequent loss of revenue which continues to hinder the day-to-day operation.

“I learned quickly after becoming involved with the club last summer that this club has a very special group of supporters and we have been touched by the number of fans who have demonstrated their willingness to see the club ride through this storm, by waiving any refunds and asking that that money is spent on continuing the club’s forward progress on the pitch.

“On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank everyone who has pledged their support in this way. You have played a big part in helping Wycombe Wanderers through one of its toughest periods.

“Equally we understand that the pandemic has had a real impact on the lives of many people whose health and jobs have been negatively affected, and the financial burden that comes with it means that they need to recoup money that they spent on tickets for matches that sadly couldn’t take place.

“Our ticket office are happy to assist in arranging refunds or tickets for alternative matches in the future.

“This is an exciting time as we look ahead to the play-offs and the start of a new season, with season tickets ready to go on sale in the coming days.

“While it is a great shame that the 2019/20 season could not be completed in a regular fashion on the pitch, the Worldwide Wycombe Wanderers Phenomenon continues to show its strength of character and we hope to be able to open the doors to Adams Park to our fans again this autumn.”
