Sky and BT say no plans for refunds

- By STEVEN CHICKEN @examinerHT­AFC

SKY Sports and BT will not be offering customers a refund on their subscripti­ons at this time, despite the Premier League and EFL suspending all matches until the start of April.

It is understood that at this stage given that there have only been a small number of fixtures postponed so far across various competitio­ns, the broadcaste­rs have no plans to compensate subscriber­s.

If the football season does restart on the first week of April as planned, Huddersfie­ld Town are supposed to be taking on Preston North End that day.

The broadcaste­rs’ current position is that there will only be two weekends of club football affected, with the planned March internatio­nal break limiting the amount of domestic games that have been postponed.

It has been confirmed that both companies will not be refunding subscriber­s.

“Sky Sports is working closely with all our partners to better understand the impact on the annual sporting calendar,” said Sky Sports’ managing director Rob Webster.

“We recognise that it is a fast-moving situation and we are working at speed to ensure we continue to deliver for all of our customers. A number of sporting events have been postponed, but not cancelled, so we expect to be able to show these when they are reschedule­d.

“Therefore, our live schedule is likely to look different for a period of time. As more informatio­n becomes available, we will continue to provide updates to all of our customers.”

WITH the Championsh­ip campaign suspended, the exact time of when the next transfer window will open is very much up in the air.

However, there are several Huddersfie­ld Town players who will be at the centre of discussion­s and debates whenever it happens...
