And people whine about our BOD. Jeez - let's give thanks we haven't brought as much shame to the game as Bradford Bulls.

I fully agree. We have experienced this in the past and it certainly looks like our BOD don't have issues.

There may be a difference over the amount but there are only two reasons not to pay tax due. Either poor administration in the club, or a deliberate attempt to manipulate cash flow to gain a financial advantage. Perhaps to save clubs from themselves the RFL should look at every clubs quarterly accounts?

Nope no shame, in fact have Fax brought anything to the game in the last 20 years?

That's bitter. I wasn't on about who has brought what to the game in the last 20. I was just passing on a story that might interest
folk on here.
if you want to sling md the Bulls have brought the game down by their financial running of the club over the past 7 years or so. administration again and again and again. I would be sick of it as a bulls fan. but thank you for your comment we welcome all on here

You can't say that Rich! They're iconic don't you know?

Funnily enough we haven't won much since the days when we had people running the club that were spending more than was coming in. Sound familiar?

I don't see any need to be sore about it, we enjoyed our good times, look back on yours fondly and remember that the bigger you get the harder you fall, unless you have a benefactor, but even then when they pull the rug you're stuffed with a load of contracts to pay out.

You've got plenty of company in your position, don't cry.

Then you're either blind to recent history or a massive one eyed jack. Either way - get your eyes tested.

Just seen the issue around 10 year tickets at the Bulls, they are not honouring them after 45 fans paid a grand each. Couldn't stop myself from commenting on that.

At least now Littlerich has somebody new to moan about, it was getting boring being Leigh all the time.

We'll be able to ask the same of the Bulls in a couple of years time. Iconic status doesn't last long when paid for with money you don't have

They are bringing the game into disrepute and this despite the RFL bailing them out by buying their ground something which set a very dangerous precedent which people seem to have conveniently forgotten about, it was wrong as a sports governing body should never get involved in owning its member clubs grounds, have they done the same for York or Sheffield???
One thing that is annoying me is that they seem to be blatantly ignoring their plight and bringing in new players even from Oz at what expense???

Go on then?

Either way it's a damn sight less than the club you're criticising for bringing 'shame' on the game. You clearly still carry a chip on your shoulder concerning the Bulls.

Chips on't shoulder? Nah, I don't think so. We'll be getting invited over to functions at your/RFL'S place to raise money for the bulls junior teams next....oh, hang on a minute.

Not honouring 45 10 year season tivkets they sold at a grand a piece 5 years through. Increasing match day entry by 2.00.

Whilst I have to pay per game, as I can't afford an annual ticket, our prices for next season look reasonable when compared to others.

Fax early bird £220-£187
Fax Full Price £250-£195
Leigh £280-£250
Giants £99-£119
Rams £190-£175
Bulls £313-£218
Rhinos £336-£216

I wondered if there is any way that Bulls can justify their prices next year....no wonder their support is falling off! The Giants look desperate !!

Err, it can be justified by saying "Bradford Bulls are a full time team and the cost of the tickets reflects that." Given the fact that your prices aren't too far off the cost of the ground admission price for a Bradford season ticket, and yet your team is part-time, surely the question should be how can Fax justify that?

The Giants have always been desperate for fans, it's a running thing with them that they don't pull in a lot of fans even when things are going well on the pitch. Plus they've got a money guy who can underwrite the cheap tickets so why shouldn't they push to get their crowds up if they can afford it?

I think there has to be a minimum price set if you are to secure funds to compete and I feel our pricing is acceptable.

Highest adult price at Hull KR is £265, and if you wanted to you could have 25% off that under their elevation scheme. Makes Bradford the most expensive in the league, by some way.

London Broncos charge £150 "silver" which is standard package. Their Gold upgrade at£250 gives you a hospitality package, shirt and cup final ticket. Which, if you were one of their fans looks a super deal.

There were half a dozen clubs in the high court that day, including one that's in Superleague.

Notice how we're the one the BBC reports on?

This is more about the national media not giving a nats frig about Halifax than it is about our VAT bill.

Do Halifax even need to be VAT registered?

Or the fact that you've got previous

....and lots of it as the title of the thread suggests.

No it's not that the others on the list have previous too. One of them was Salford and it was still the Bulls that get reported on.

In terms of the other Greater Manchester clubs I'd list Wigan, Leigh, Salford, Swinton and Oldham as being more report worthy than Halifax. In all honesty. Maybe even Rochdale after their win in France last season.

Clearly not....Bulls in administration....again

I'm saying nothing as i can see us in the same position in 2017.
