Last time we used the coach was to a Wigan game a couple of years ago. It was the middle of summer, boiling hot and the heating was stuck on full, the driver said he didn't know how to turn it off. He then spent most of the journey home on his mobile phone one hand on the wheel until i bollocked him and told him he was endangering all our lives and breaking the law.

I wrote to complain to the club but got no response.

And we lost.

I remember that farce well.

We got into the Boulevard with us down something like 22-6 with 60 seconds of the first half remaining.

Credit to Hull Fc as they let us all in for free

It's "yours sincerely" not "yours faithfully" when you know the name of the person you're writing to!

Yours pedantically...

I thought you always used "yours faithfully" when expecting a reply.

Yours indeedydoodly

No, Bullseye is right. Its Yours Faithfully if you are putting Dear Sir or Madam.
Yours Sincerely if you know the name of the person, as in this case.

Haha







No,

No, what?

No, Thanks for your concern.

As WiganBull has already said have you had a reply or have you just sent it and posted it on here without waiting for a response?

Just out of interest.

And addressing someone 'Morning Stuart' is hardly correct letter writing etiquette either

Dear Sir,

Should I finish this message "Yours sincerely" becuase I know your name. I thought not. But I work at a Russell Group university so I know these things.

Yours correctly,

When I did my secretarial stuff one way we were taught to remember it was that Sir never went with Sincerely.

It stuck with me.

The 94 group are cooler

To which my director would look down his nose &, in his best patronising voice, say "those former polytechnics!" Which I realise they are not.
It's got nothing to do with cool old boy, it's status, status. God I hated this snobbery before I moved here.

back to topic, have you had a response yet?

I received a phone call from Stuart Duffy yesterday morning. I must give great credit to him as he held his hands up and accepted that there had been a mistake in updating the bulls website.

He accorded me a great amount of his time to explain the position and was genuinely sympathetic to the difficulties that have arisen.

Whilst I have been unable to secure a place on the coach and will now have to travel independently and stay over I still believe the Bulls are worth it. Not an ideal conclusion but Stuart clearly demonstratedd that he does care about the fans and the clubs image.

Unfortunately I cannot say the say about some of the so called Rugby League fans on here who simply use this forum to vent unsubstantiated views or moronic comments that fail to advance any debate.

Sense of humour bypass?

Maybe we should all speak to Stuart and then we'd all forget the issues and be as behind the club as this guy.

penning my email now.......

Eh! Where did that come from?

Seems like a nice long journey to Wales is needed to help calm you down. If you wear something which will easily identify you I will donate some of my medication if you think it will help.

Howdy Mr Duffy. Tiger Beer not ghosting for you anymore?

Great minds Eddie.

I had similar thoughts.

Seven posts then an unprovoked pile of abuse at fellow fans certainly seems a bit of an unusual scenario!

Yep, he's a nutter

In defence of the excellent Bulls ticket office...

I popped in on my way to the home match against Wigan to book on the coach. At the time they were still taking names but had not confirmed that they were running a coach. They took my name and number and said they’d phone me on Monday morning.
They phoned me as promised and told me there would be a coach so I booked my coach and match tickets then.
Unfortunately I forgot to ask them to put it in the post as they normally do (I work too far away from the ticket office to get there during office hours).
It wasn’t until Wednesday night that I realised that I hadn’t received my ticket. It normally always arrives the next day. It occurred to me then that I hadn’t specified they post it out.
I phoned the ticket office as soon as they were open on Thursday morning and explained the situation. They immediately offered to send it out by guaranteed next day delivery to my workplace. Again, it was my mistake in not asking them to post it out but they were still happy to go out of their way to get the ticket to me.

Anyone who has ever booked coaches for this kind of trip knows that it’s very expensive. It would have cost the best part of a grand for the coach on Saturday – maybe even more as they had two drivers.
When people phone a couple of days before you’re due to go to the match and expect there to be places available then they really don’t understand that you can just go on booking more coaches and hope to get enough people on them to pay for it.

More than one time this year there have been half empty coaches travelling to games and this costs the club money it could do without losing.

Is it really too much to ask to book the week before the trip? They’ll do everything they can to get you on the coach but to expect them to just book extra busses days before the trip and then get ranty about it when they don’t is unfair.
