Chief executive Paul Barber said, “It has been humbling to receive so many emails and messages from fans, firstly concerned for our welfare as a club and also as individuals and secondly asking for their ticket or membership payments to be retained by the club or Albion As One fund.

“Firstly, I would like to thank all those fans who have written into us with those sentiments and, secondly, in light of that we will write to choose how their initial payments are handled.

"We fully appreciate not all fans will be in a position to make a donation or some may not wish to do that, but in response to those writing in we wanted to give all our supporters the choice.”

If we do not have card details, we will collect a bank account number and sort code for BACS refund. Those who paid by gift voucher will be refunded by a gift voucher which will be valid for one year.
