Latest news I have on this is that, according to my bank [Yorkshire bank], some customers are saying they received an actual physical ticket FROM THE OLD CLUB, and if I have one it should be taken back to the club. The club say that THE NEW CLUB have promised to honour the season ticket part of the old membership. This doesn't tally with my experience as, when I handed in the old receipt with the seat number on it, they simply charged me for the ticket.

QUESTION[iDoes anyone know if any tickets were ever sent out from the old club[/i? I told the bank that I think this is impossible as they went bust before they could be issued, but they insist they were sent out, and have been [itold so by customers[/i. Anyone on here know someone who received a ticket?

Suspect people saying they received a physical ticket are talking about the receipt, that's usually printed on a ticket blank, that would have been exchanged for the plastic card at collection event which never happened.

This is what i have got and it actually say's on it, RECEIPT ONLY, NOT A VALID SEASON TICKET

That is what I had. I took it with me just to show my seat number, though, for some reason they didn't give me it back. I guess it just binned but I wish I'd got it back now.8

Interesting side issue - just checking my card account on-line and I notice the new season ticket I bought on Wednesday was bought from therfl.co.uk according to the bank? I assume the club is using their account.

That's what I thought. Got mine yesterday and paid via card to a chap sat next to the shop counter using a PC for the transaction. A bit out of the ordinary really. Seems the new owners have more trust in the RFL than me, or maybe not since they have my card details.

Noticed they weren't using chip and pin machines and were putting card details in via laptop presumably same way as if you make a phone purchase. Guess it's a temporary measure while there getting card machines setup. Seem to remember there was a two or three week period delay getting card machines installed under green when they fell out with provider over charges and changed mid season.

Think it takes longer than normal with any new business, which is what they are, of course.

Can now buy tickets on Bulls website, when you click on the ticket you want it takes you to the RFL site

None of this is going to help us escape the idea, perpetuated by fans of some other clubs, that we are the RFLs 'pets'

Still, better than buying a season ticket and finding it was charged to Omar Khan's hotel...

Or the conspiracy theories along the lines of the RFL actually owning the Bulls until proper buyers are found, with ChaLow running the show for them.

Can't see this.

Sod Hall not competent enough and unlike the NRL are not awash with cash to do it

And, to be fair I'd guess it's pretty much a costless exercise from the RFL's pov as they will surely be taking the 1.5% [or whatever] surcharge off before handing the money over. Maybe even adding .5% on for their 'handling charge'?

Why not? It's the RFL. Nothing is impossible. They are paying the wages of players at other clubs aren't they? They do what they like.
