Notice on twitter that there will be no further card payments until further notice

Dave Bowden, he frames all my shirts !!!

Could be good news.

Transferring to the Bulls own account maybe? I know this should really be a seamless transition but we're talking the Bulls here..

Just what I thought. Could be good news....or very bad.

Assuming it is just some admin thing, still what would be difficult as saying " ... because we are in the process of changing provider, and it will be back in 24 hours" or whatever? It is at best a good example of a weird inability to communicate.

Don't be stupid.

Spoke to DB today, no drama, he went on holiday for 2 weeks and lent you his card machine, nothing sinister, back at work he is today.
fed up with Bulls fans ringing him mind !

Mmm, yeah - think I'd describe that as "enigmatic".

Thats going to need a bit of creative accountancy.

Changing to a new card processor would be seamless if you were using another companies card machine. DUCY?

Shop still only taking cash this morning, Wed 31 May.

Come on chaps, sort it! It's not everyone who will, or has the chance, to come back with cash - it's 2017 you know...

It'd be very interesting to hear the reasons for this carry on. This sort of occurrence doesn't exactly present a image of a club with all it's financial problems behind it.

Looks like the cashless society is struggling to live in Bradford. I moan about the 'modern life' as much as many, but surely the advantage of not having to carry loads of cash about is one of the better improvements - until you go the the Bulls' shop, that is.

It is definitely costing the club money. A friend of mine was recently in there (he didn't know about the card problems) and couldn't buy Bash tickets because of it. He ended up being annoyed by the lack of a basic service and just not bothering.

Twice this season I've been at Odsal quite early, and in the past I'd have gone for a wander into the shop to see if anything worth buying. These occasions, I haven't bothered because I knew I didn't have enough cash on me for much more than a couple of pints.

Just two examples and I'm sure there are plenty more.

But as usual, total lack of communication as to what's going on. I know there's more of a feel good factor around the club after the team finally put a performance in, but I personally am still totally disconnected with the club and have no intention of being bothered with any more games until the heirarchy start actually communicating.

I remember the days when Hood was in charge and we had discount season tickets. The idea was that we would spend loads of our unspent cash in the stadium.

Even if that was the case you couldn't fit in the shop as it was the size of a portacabin so many didn't bother when it was packed on matchdays.

It's a bit bigger now but far too busy to be bothering with on matchdays - the only time when I'm likely to be at Odsal. I bet I'm not alone.

What the club needs is a decent online shop where people can pay by card. There is nothing at the moment.

Meanwhile the club misses out on income. Anyone else still dubious about this bank account?

Absolutely.

Whilst I have never run a business or been involved in the Financial aspects of it, I don't really get why it would take so long to get an account.

I understand why it would be difficult to get an account with an overdraft or any kind of money lending facility when your name is "Bradford Bulls", but just a straight account without that, why would a bank refuse that? Which makes me think they need the lending facility.

Although that is pure and wild speculation on my part, no facts whatsoever.
