You're not wrong, and the match dates aren't for this year either.

Looking at the 'giveaway' you could either say its very generous due to the face value or that its negligeable in that they'll be giving away tickets to prople who probably wouldn't have come otherwise (but might spend a few bob in the ground or even be tempted to come along again or bring paying friends/family).

Overall I'd agree with Tad that it wouldn't have been too difficult for someone to hasve the courtesy to respond even if it was just with a link to the bureaucracy. Most people would contact the club direct not search the website on the off chance there's a a form.

To be fair to the club, a few years ago close friends of my family lost their daughter at the age of 21 to cancer. The whole family had been season ticket holders for years and followed the club everywhere. The girl's father knew a mate of John Bentley's (think he had a job behind the scenes at the Rhinos at the time - last I heard he was doing something similar for the Tykes and was involved with Cleckheaton RU??) and within a day or two Bentley was on the phone offering to send players to the funeral. Kevin Sinfield and Chris Feather attended on behalf of the club, and it was hugely appreciated. The family have set up a scholarship in her name at the university she was at when she died, and the club have regularly contributed to fundraisers for it.

This will just be one of many stories out there showing that the club does care. Having said that, to be fair to Tad, a simple reply explaining the charity request procedure and giving a link to the page with the application form wouldn't really have been asking too much!

attention seeking internet warrior in moaning at the authorities 'cause he didn't know the rules shocker!

just fill the form in.

Yep. We asked for a donation for a raffle/auction in aid of The Bobby Moore Fund last year and they were quick to send us a voucher for some match tickets.
