EFL fans refusing season-ticket refunds with supporters choosing to back their teams financially in a bid to help them survive the pandemic

• Football League clubs have been hit hard by fans not being able to attend games
• Clubs in Leagues One and Two have mostly benefitted from fans generosity
• Brentford have had 94 per cent of their fans opt to keep their money in the club

A staggering number of supporters in the EFL are refusing to ask for season-ticket refunds — in a bid to help their clubs survive the pandemic.

Sportsmail has heard from a number of teams where more than 95 per cent of the fanbase have told them to keep the money despite, for the most part, being unable to attend matches.

The generosity has left club officials stunned — and grateful, as many feared that a large uptake of refunds would cripple them financially.
