It would appear the club still don't have in-house card processing facilities as, when I went up to the office yesterday, they still had someone sitting by the counter with the computer , ready to put card sales through on line.

That's what it was when I paid for my season ticket on my card too. But it popped up as RFL on my statement. I assume the RFL are helping them out in order to allow card payments until their own stuff is sorted.

With our track record and the number of payouts the old card company will have had to honour we will be lucky to get a new card machine at all

Anyone else hoping once we are able to get visas we have a couple of new players coming? Rumours we have been looking in NZ and Oz but all gone quiet, let's hope we have a few on application stage along with Phoenix

Heard today that bank account is sorted but now the problem is to get get a vat number.
Maybe some of our legal eagles can confirm if this is feasible

You can't register for VAT without a bank account number

Not sure the RFL are 'helping out', noticed when trying to buy tickets online that they're subject to a £2 RFL transaction fee (going up to £2.50 next month). I'm assuming this is handed on to the club in the case of paying with a card at the club shop.

Well Phoenix has tweeted that he's hoping to be joining up with the club in the next two weeks

I noticed Mick & Hobbo had to quickly retreat on their comments yesterday during the game. Throughout the first half they'd been talking about Geoff Toovey as the coach, what he was doing and what he'd done. In the second half they quickly pointed out that it was obviously on a voluntary basis and he's only on holiday until his Visa is sorted, and if he wants to offer advice while he's on his jollies, that's up to him. It sounded a lot like someone at the club had whispered in their ear to stop suggesting Toovey is working in case any border patrol folk happen to be Broncos fans and are listening in!

Without a visa you're not allowed to work full stop, even as an unpaid volunteer. Maybe some people ought to watch more Border Force on sky Living (or OK, maybe I should watch less ).

OK, I know some of these programmes are populist rubbish, pandering to the views of xenophobic braindeads but they show the reality of what goes on in the minds of these people and how they work. People need to take heed or the coach may be gone before he (officially) arrives.

He was certainly on the pitch during the warm up. I hope he came down on Mega bus with the rest of the Aussie backpackers!

Rumous on twitter about toovey going to Leeds

Standard total b0llocks started by someone with too much time on their hands.

I could believe rumours about him sacking off Bradford due to the visa thing going on too long. The idea of him going to Leeds is ridiculous. Hetherington has very publicly given Brian Mac a month to sort things out. He wouldn't have lined up a replacement already.

What about Lilley for 2V?
