I've bought on credit card for the last few years for exactly this reason. I believe visa issued debit cards also have the same protection.

I would check if that is the case should anyone go down that route - I thought it was for credit transactions only
Also I heard somewhere that credit card payments via paypal are also excluded.

Can you elaborate on the "systematically shafted opposition fans" comment? It's a genuine question, as most away fans join the Fax faithful in the South Stand for £17. It's only when Leigh/Bradford/Featherstone come into town that the North stand has been used. Are you saying that it was more than £17 in the North Stand at the Shay. Bad form if so, and I admit something I was unaware of.

In terms of the tax man, I've not heard anything about that from a Fax perspective regarding unpaid bills? It's true we were in dispute with the Council over rent payments, but these issues seem to be resolved now.

For years Halifax up'd the prices on tickets for Bulls games, starting at Thrum Hall around the time "BullMania" all kicked off. Think the first time I remember it was 1996 when there was the televised sky game where Bulls staged a second half comeback to win. It continued for years afterwards, including at The Shay. I've refused to go to Fax ever since just on principle, but have considered returning in past year of two.

With regards to Tax bills, again I remember one for definite years ago and had mistakenly thought I'd read about one recently. However I was wrong and it was in fact your rent payments.

I believe that was done and I refused to go to that match on principle. It is though now common practice in the football world to grade your games and charge accordingly.

Wherever you use Visa debit, you are fully protected. If, for example, you're unfortunate enough to book a holiday with an airline or travel agent that becomes insolvent, you'll generally get your money back. Similarly, if you order something that is not delivered, not as described, or arrives faulty or damaged, you’ll receive a full refund https://www.visa.co.uk/products/visa-card-payments/visa-debit

Well, nowt like holding a grudge then!! Tbh, I'm not sure that this can have happened at Thrum Hall - there was no differentiation between any of the turnstiles for home and away supporters. It could potentially have happened at the Shay, given the "informal" segregation that's occurred there.

Thrum Hall I can't recall that happening but it certainly happened at the Shay

I think that's correct actually.

It definitely did happen at the Shay, or at least, it was reported to be so in the press. It does pig you off a bit but, if I'm honest, I wouldn't really blame clubs for making the best each match - it's pretty expensive to keep a club alive these days.

Heh, I've just snorted coffee all over my keyboard after reading a Fax fan complaining about a Bulls fan 'holding a grudge'!

Hard to complain about being rippped off at away matches when we get charged SL prices at home.

Our prices are the same for all visitors. That is fair and supporters have a choice, it riles me when some clubs have different prices for different games depending on the opposition.

Which is why I refused to pay the Fev 'away stand tax' at the final match.
