My 2 questions would be:

Can you furlough contracted players? as opposed to salaried staff.

Will the Board seek a deferment on, or reduction of, the £100k we pay Glyndwr University for the lease of the ground?

Finally, we will have to be quite hard-nosed when it comes to renewing contracts.

PS To help out our club, I will not seek any refund for my ST or extra tickets I had also bought. Not everyone will be able to follow suit, but I would urge those fans who can to put aside their distrust of the Trust, put the club first, and resolve the outstanding issues of accountability in due course.

The whole country is currently in a bad place, as is our club. Let's not make it any worse than need be.

I didn't intend to but a good point to raise PD.....

Wonder how many will claim refunds. I suppose if you are desperate for money you could try but the chances are slim . I have paid for a couple of away tickets but will just file them for the foreseeable future and there were only 5 home matches on the season ticket so will write that off.

The means as I understand them are to make a claim and the forms are not likely to be made available until late April.

HMRC say they are working "night and day" to get the reimbursement scheme up by 21st April so it'll be late April to early May by the time businesses can make their claims. From today's club announcement it seems to me that they will be furloughing everyone from the start of this month - and i guess that payroll is run towards to the end.
Hopefully therefore the cash flow impct on the club in terms of being reimbursed wont be so bad.

Why are the chances slim? If you’ve paid for something and not received it in full you’re entitled to a partial refund.

True, depending on the terms and conditions of the sale.

Whether individuals seek a refund is up to them.

Thankfully, we have cash in the bank to ride the storm. However, many clubs/businesses don't, and they will face enormous cash-flow problems in the short-term. Hence why several clubs are at risk of going broke before another ball is kicked.
