Can you elaborate on the "systematically shafted opposition fans" comment? It's a genuine question, as most away fans join the Fax faithful in the South Stand for £17. It's only when Leigh/Bradford/Featherstone come into town that the North stand has been used. Are you saying that it was more than £17 in the North Stand at the Shay. Bad form if so, and I admit something I was unaware of.

In terms of the tax man, I've not heard anything about that from a Fax perspective regarding unpaid bills? It's true we were in dispute with the Council over rent payments, but these issues seem to be resolved now.

Tbh, I don't disagree with the £2 hike in principle. What got my goat was that there was a £2 admin charge per ticket for booking tickets online, which meant the only way to get the "normal" price was to visit the Bulls ticket office in person. Not exactly ideal for an away supporter - I was happy to buy in advance, but there was no advantage!

So the club has lost the income from one new ST purchase. Great marketing strategy from the club then...

Got mine today, put on visa just in case

I would check if that is the case should anyone go down that route - I thought it was for credit transactions only
Also I heard somewhere that credit card payments via paypal are also excluded.

For years Halifax up'd the prices on tickets for Bulls games, starting at Thrum Hall around the time "BullMania" all kicked off. Think the first time I remember it was 1996 when there was the televised sky game where Bulls staged a second half comeback to win. It continued for years afterwards, including at The Shay. I've refused to go to Fax ever since just on principle, but have considered returning in past year of two.

With regards to Tax bills, again I remember one for definite years ago and had mistakenly thought I'd read about one recently. However I was wrong and it was in fact your rent payments.

I believe that was done and I refused to go to that match on principle. It is though now common practice in the football world to grade your games and charge accordingly.

Well, nowt like holding a grudge then!! Tbh, I'm not sure that this can have happened at Thrum Hall - there was no differentiation between any of the turnstiles for home and away supporters. It could potentially have happened at the Shay, given the "informal" segregation that's occurred there.

Thrum Hall I can't recall that happening but it certainly happened at the Shay

I think that's correct actually.

It definitely did happen at the Shay, or at least, it was reported to be so in the press. It does pig you off a bit but, if I'm honest, I wouldn't really blame clubs for making the best each match - it's pretty expensive to keep a club alive these days.

Heh, I've just snorted coffee all over my keyboard after reading a Fax fan complaining about a Bulls fan 'holding a grudge'!

Hard to complain about being rippped off at away matches when we get charged SL prices at home.

Our prices are the same for all visitors. That is fair and supporters have a choice, it riles me when some clubs have different prices for different games depending on the opposition.

Which is why I refused to pay the Fev 'away stand tax' at the final match.

Season ticket bought this morning - so the ride continues....

Had a chat with our local radio commentator on Saturday - I bumped into him at the 4 Nations and he reckons we're in serious trouble with unpaid suppliers. Anyone else heard about this? Might affect my own decision.

I don't doubt your wrong but how big can a debt be to suppliers. W
Bradford can't buy that much!!! Not like will purchase stuff in to the millions or tens of thousands. Surly the biggest bill is HMRC.

I honestly think someone need to put a big cash injection in or a take over. I have purchased my season ticket on a visa just in case.

I'm still buying my season ticket albeit on visa.

Well i bought my copy of the t&a today and in the middle was a glossy season ticket application form....... For Huddersfield Giants !

My how times have changed. Needless to say it"s now in the recycle bin.

We should paint x6 in bulls colours again.

That'll show em!

Won't be buying a Giants ticket - in any case, they seem to have 'peaked' now and are going downhill quickly. Well, as quickly as momentum allows and they never got high enough to build up a proper head of steam in the first place..

Alas it's a downgrade to a flexi membership for me this year. New job means I'll probably be working weekends and so I won't get the value out of a full season ticket. I'm hoping to get to more than 3 games though (and away games when I get a chance) so the club will still get more than the £58 out of me.
