Sorry.......did I get something right :shock:

When I told them I was a rugby league fan and not a fan of rugby union and that it was their coverage of Australian rugby league that attracted me to them they began telling me about their AFL coverage.

Eventually they offered me £9.99 a month. The only caveat to this was that my 12 month contract would restart tying me to them at that price. £9.99 a month is excellent value in the range of sports that Setanta show however I declined because of the 12 month tie in.

They very quickly offered me £6.50 per month for the next three months with no 12 month contract. That's a great deal and it allows me to reassess my subscription with them at the end of the three months


Make sure you get the offer in writing.






you light up my senses.....

Ive only just got Setanta for the first time two weeks ago for the NRL. It will be binned after my minimum subscription period expires if two or more games a week aren't been televised by then.

That was until the other week when they wrote to me again, only this time offering me a discount to re-subscribe. I assumed they must be used to people just cutting off payment as a way of leaving.

Michael.


Yeah I did the same last August and got the same re-subscribe letter in January.

i didnt quote you so how youve worked out you were the target of that beats me.

Their NRL coverage is good. It's basically the same build up and in match commentary as the Aussies and the SOO is excellent.

Got to say this is a top signing

I've just phoned them and got a cheaper deal.

£9.99 for 12 months with my multi room coming free for 3 months before going to £2.49 per month.

The only problem is that the guy on the phone claimed that they are in contract talks with 9 and Fox and that they are 75% sure of sorting a contract in the next few weeks for the NRL. As I am a massive US sports fan, the Setanta sports package is a good one for me becayse of ESPN America. However, I would urge all NRL fans who have setanta to contact them and at least express your disspleasure at the current lack of games. At least this way they will realise how popular the NRL is, and they may pull their fingers out and get the contract sorted.






Is it true that Richard Agar's favorite movie of all time is Groundhog Day or does he just generally like the same boring s**t day after day, season after season?

Yet again I understand, but what was the point of listing how much coverage the game gets in Aus?

Your bias against Nine leads you to beleive that the production of fox is superior... only a muppet would suggest that the production of fox along with their ordinary commentary team makes it for better watching.

Surely He Must Score!
