English Club To Refund Fans After 6-0 Rout

English Football League Two side, Crewe Alexandra boss Dave Artell has promised that his players will refund fans who travelled to Essex for Tuesday’s 6-0 defeat at Colchester.

The Railwaymen started their 2018-19 campaign with a 6-0 win at home to Morecambe, but that is their only success so far this season and Tuesday night proved a forgettable one for Artell’s side.

They conceded three goals in each half and Artell said their performance had been “utterly unacceptable” before putting the onus on his players to refund supporters.

He said; “It was embarrassing and I am not going to dress anything up.

“We were awful and we will sort the fans out. The players will pay out of their own pockets for their match tickets because they deserve great credit for coming down here to support us.

“We will refund them because they do not deserve to pay for that. It isn’t a great gesture, it’s the minimum requirement.”
