Saw that last night. Couldn't believe it. Nasty club.

I thought FA rules were that if the match isn't complete they can only charge a % of the original price depending on how much had been played?

FA rules mean nothing when the Swindon crooks are involved, and when the corrupt/inept FA do nothing about it. There are some clubs who would get docked points for this, but we have seen for years Swindon are one of the clubs immune from proper punishment for their crimes.

They did get punished once when they were relegated two divisions. Something to do with dodgy payments.

They had won the play-off to go into the old Division 1 against Sunderland and then were relegated to the Division 3. Sunderland were promoted in their place.

On appeal, Swindon were allowed to remain in Division 2.

Usually states the postponement arrangement(s) on the back of the ticket when purchased; the T&C are presumably agreed by seller and the buyer at the time of the transaction.
