Motherwell FC are offering season ticket holders partial refunds for games that weren't played last season, in a move that could cost the Fir Park club over £130,000.
But they've urged supporters not to claim money back, in a move that could net them £22,000.
Four Ladbrokes Premiership home matches, two before and two after the split, were not played, and supporters are now able to claim back the outstanding value of their season ticket.
Should every season ticket holder take them up on the offer it could hit Motherwell hard in the pocket and they have asked fans to leave the money with them as a 'donation'.
Those who don't claim it back by Wednesday, June 17, will be taken as providing a donation.
In a statement issued to supporters, chairman Jim McMahon said: "We have a duty to all of our supporters and season ticket holders. There will be no judgment on anyone asking for a refund. If individuals or families need this money, then they should apply and get it back.
"But we must be open about the financial impact offering refunds may have on the club.
"Should every season ticket holder claim a refund, the cost to the club will be north of £130,000. For that reason, we ask you please to consider leaving your money with us.
"As a fan-owned club, we are all aware of the realities that face us even in normal times. We do not have a rich benefactor. We are reliant on being well run and, ultimately, on ourselves as custodians of Motherwell FC to maintain its good health."
He added: "We have introduced as many ways as we could think of in recent weeks to offer value for our 2020/21 season ticket. It is important to us that we do everything possible for you, the supporter, to thank you for your commitment.
"Having frozen our prices from the previous year, anyone who buys will be guaranteed the value of 19 home league matches, whether these are possible in the coming season or the one following. This will be applied as a credit to a 2021/22 season ticket, or given as match tickets for games in that campaign.
"Everyone who buys a season ticket will also get free live streaming of our home league games until Fir Park is fully open again. And we’re also giving every 2020/21 season ticket holder a free ticket to our first home UEFA Europa League match, should fans be permitted to enter.
"We have asked you only to buy a season ticket if you feel you can at this time. And we repeat that message with our refund offer
"If you feel the incentives we have offered are good compensation, and can leave your money with the club, it will really help us plan for and cope with the difficult times ahead.”
Mr McMahon has urged fans to waive the remaining value of their season ticket, but those choosing not to should email the cub at tickets@motherwellfc.co.uk before June 17.
