I've no insider knowledge either but I do know that if you want to buy tickets online you get directed to the RFL e-ticketing site. This would suggest some level of transactions are being done by the RFL. People mentioned having the RFL on receipts paid by card earlier this season.

I too would expect that if you went to a bank and said you wanted a bank account opening in the name of "Bradford Bulls" they would be a little reluctant to help. They'd want to see evidence you had enough money so that they didn't have any worries. We know Chalmers and Lowe aren't wealthy and have histories with HMRC in New Zealand. We know cashflow is likely to be a problem due to low crowds and low income. As a result I suspect we're still without a bank account since which kind of bank would take the risk of allowing us an overdraft?

In a connected matter Toovey's visa hasn't yet come through - when it does we'll know we have a bank account since you can't have one without the other. We were told Toovey's application was in on 10 April. So I assume we had a bank account and VAT number by then. Meanwhile St Helens sack Cunningham and have Holbrook installed properly as coach. Still no visa for Geoff. www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... all_clear/

It tells me there's a hitch somewhere. Now I can't see any issue with Toovey's visa like there was supposedly with Phoenix. Toovey has coached sufficient NRL games to qualify. The only thing that occurs to me is that maybe the application wasn't in or it was but pending a bank account or the bank details we supplied perhaps didn't meet Home Office requirements (e.g. was one guaranteed by someone unconnected to the club).

All this must be connected to the lack of card machine in the shop and lack of online shop. Or at least you can suppose so since nobody up there is bothering to keep us informed.
