Bristol Rovers fans made to wait on refund information after coronavirus postponements

Bristol Rovers fans have been made to wait for refund information after the EFL announced a postponement to April 3.

The Gas have had three fixtures called off, including tomorrow's game against Ipswich Town, and their next match is now not scheduled to be until April 10 with a trip to Oxford United.

Yet any fan keen to get a refund for the postponed games will be made to wait, with the club declining to offer any information on how fans can get their money back.

This is due to the matches being postponed, rather than outright cancelled, meaning tickets will still be valid for the rearranged fixtures.

In a statement confirming the postponements, the Gas revealed that refund information will be made available when the fixtures have been rearranged.

It said: "In light of these developments, ties against Ipswich Town, Peterborough United and Rochdale will all be postponed.

"Refunds will not be offered on tickets purchased for these fixtures at this time, with an update provided when they are re-scheduled."

Whilst the EFL is currently scheduled to resume on April 3 - providing the situation regarding the coronavirus improves - the Gas frustratingly do not have a fixture that weekend.

Rovers were due to face Portsmouth at Fratton Park that weekend but Pompey reached the EFL Trophy final.

With the final due to take place on April 5 at Wembley, Rovers' trip to the South Coast has been rearranged until April 21.

It means that the Gas do not have a game until Good Friday - 31 days after their last game, which was a victory over Sunderland on Tuesday evening.
