Minty Posted 19 July, 2012 Share Posted 19 July, 2012 I had three emails. Each one stated a different price difference. 1 - As of 01/08/2012 your subscription will start to be billed at £42.99 per year, an increase of just GBP 3 per year. 2 - As of 01/08/2012 your subscription will start to be billed at £4.49 per month, an increase of just GBP 0.20p per month. 3 - As of 01/08/2012 your subscription will start to be billed at £37.99 per year, an increase of just GBP2 per year. So, which is it to be then Saints...?! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granite_City_Saint Posted 19 July, 2012 Share Posted 19 July, 2012 I received 3 emails today re the new, improved Saints Player. The first said that for all the extra benefits my subscription would increase by just £2 per year to £37.99. The 2nd said that my subscription would increase by just 20p per month to £4.49 per month and the 3rd that it would increase by just £3 per year to £42.99. Is it just me or did someone fail their maths GCSE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Jonny Posted 19 July, 2012 Share Posted 19 July, 2012 They did the same thing last year, and said that the video quality would be improved to be "close to HD", that is how they justified the price increase. It never happened and the video quality is stilt utter rubbish. I'm still paying though, what a mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fareham saint phil Posted 19 July, 2012 Share Posted 19 July, 2012 Just subscribed to it, am I the only one that thinks its value for money, I love having saints news when i want it, I grew up in the 70's when there was 3 match highlights on match of the day, and hardly ever Saints, and that was your weekly fix, now I can watch highlights of pre season friendlys, I'm impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 19 July, 2012 Share Posted 19 July, 2012 Well, my order was £3, 20p a month and £2. I'm now slightly confused. Not quite as confused as hearing CB Fry calling somebody a 'tedious *****'.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 19 July, 2012 Share Posted 19 July, 2012 The £42.99 per year is for people who want a Dave-free commentary with no cut-outs. The £37.99 per year is for Dave offering insight and the occasional cut-out. The £4.49 per month is for people like Dalek who think we'll be relegated and might want to bail out in mid-season.

Saint Garrett Posted 20 July, 2012 Share Posted 20 July, 2012 Well I've received none of these emails, but tempted to cancel it...as I can just Sky+ MoTD and/or Goals on Sunday. plus they'll all be on soccer am/football focus/SSN and more than likely all the interviews will be on Solent anyway.

Doctoroncall Posted 20 July, 2012 Share Posted 20 July, 2012 I had the three emails as well. I wish they could develop a flash free version, but still cheaper than sky and will not be as annoying as Hanson and Lawrenson on MotD with their derisory comments to Saints so that's a plus!

Mattio Posted 20 July, 2012 Share Posted 20 July, 2012 I cancelled at the end of the season, seeing as they show the full 90 mins on Sky Sports after the match there's no point in having it for me, I don't bother with all the interviews and gubbins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M271 Posted 20 July, 2012 Share Posted 20 July, 2012 I cancelled at the end of the season, seeing as they show the full 90 mins on Sky Sports after the match there's no point in having it for me, I don't bother with all the interviews and gubbins I get it mostly for the 'interviews and gubbins' The current news back from France pre-season is to me what it is all about i.e. new signing interviews/filming of training/match highights/post match interviews that you won't get elsewhere, all with a good Saints bias of course !

yateleysaint Posted 20 July, 2012 Share Posted 20 July, 2012 So if I cancel now, can I continue to use it until my subscription expires on August the 10th? I assume so but it's probably best to check first. I remember now that I paid up front for the year back in February. I've got Sky so don't really need Saints Player now anyway but at the time Saints hadn't been promoted so it seemed worth renewing. I just wanted to make sure I cancelled before I forgot about it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
