Club refunds fans for 'sorry' performance

A German football club is to refund the tickets of 600 fans who travelled to see them put in a “pitiful performance” that ended in a 4-0 away defeat. Energie Cottbus supporters travelled 380 miles to Gelsenkirchen to see their team lose 4-0 to Schalke, reports the BBC.

It was the team’s sixth loss in seven games, and the club made the offer in a web statement headed “Sorry, Energie Fans!”

Cottbus are second from bottom of the Bundesliga table and in danger of being relegated at the end of the season.

“By refunding the cost of admission for their supporters, the red and whites would like to apologise for the pitiful performance which they displayed at the Veltins Arena,” the statement read.

Any bdaily readers wishing their teams would offer such refunds right now?
