Yesterday, I received the following promotional email from The RFL:

Quote:Hi
Quarter Final - Bradford Bulls v Warrington Wolves

Bradford Bulls welcome Warrington Wolves to The Provident Stadium for the Tetley’s Challenge Cup Quarter Final on Sunday 8th June (kick 3.30pm).
The clash promises to be fierce contest as Warrington Wolves winners of the Challenge Cup in 2012 will be out to book another trip to Wembley for their fans. The Bulls however will be looking to do the double over the Wolves having already defeated them 34-28 in the First Utility Super League fixture on 4th May.

If successful, Francis Cummins' side will move to within 80 minutes of Wembley and the Tetley’s Challenge Cup final.

This is a contest which you cannot afford to miss.

Tickets are available priced at only £20 (adults), £15 (concessions) and £10 (juniors).

To book Click here or call 0844 856 1113.



So, already believing that I knew what the answer would be, I responded:

Quote:Dear Sirs,

I have just received an email relating to tickets for the Bradford Bulls v Warrington Wolves Cup-Tie but wonder when you will be sending emails about the other Quarter Final Ties?

Look forward to receiving your response.

Regards,


And I have been proved to be right as, this morning, the following response from the RFL arrived in my 'in-box':

Quote:In normal circumstances all the home teams will sell their own tickets. In Bradford’s case we are helping them out with ticket sales.

Kind regards

Mr Christopher Burns
Customer Service


What are the odds on the Bulls winning their appeal against their 6 point deduction now?

It could be said that: 'There's one Rule for the Bulls but a completely different Rule for every other Club'!

Should any of us really be that suprised ?

Odds on favourite that Brad**rd Dulls will stay in the Sooper Dooper league
Even if they finish bottom 2.

Why are The RFL 'Helping Them' sell tckets and not the other clubs ?
As if I really need to ask .......

We are now halfway throuh the season , it is about now I am expecting
Another change in the structuring etc etc from the R.F.L. saying that
There is no promotion to 'Super league 2 ' if your clubs initials are K .C.

bulls get is nothing short of a joke.

In reply to this Just spoke to my mate who spoke to them and they said the bulls asked the RFL for help and they said they were willing to do same for other clubs if they ask.






Soon be Monday.

1. What's the odds that they will get some or all of their points back when their appeal is heard next Wednesday?
.
2. No, half way through is far too early for a rule or structure change. It'll be right at the end of the season. Perhaps 4 games from the end... Wouldn't be the first time...






We are from Keighley. We are NOT Bradfordians.

What a complete and utter disgrace the RFL are, about time the wa****s that run the joint are forced out by the people who pay their wages US and get a management team in that actually want to grow the sport away from the Super league too!!
