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

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?:rolleyes:

I've had three emails too, with three different prices on.

 

I would just like to say I think all three emails were brilliant and the club have clearly done nothing wrong here.

 

This isn't anything to do with the club, it's perform.

What. Why have they done this at 2230? FFS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think this is anything to do with the club to be honest

Would you like to put a name to your straw man?

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.

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

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.

Pah.

 

Who needs SaintsPlayer & Match day threads this season?

 

EVERY Saints PL game is live on telly down the Pub.

 

And we've discovered that EoA has a special "secret handshake 50% Discount on Beer" Loyalty Card

 

37.99 last season would have been 7 pints.

 

This season it's 14 WOO HOO!

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. I will see how it goes, if I dont use it. ill cancel it.

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 !

Yep, the coverage has been top draw to be fair and is worth the money. Plenty of stuff you won't see elsewhere.

Our goals were always freely available to watch on the BBC website when we were in the Championship.

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.

Don't worry, I know what I was paying (or rather I can look it up on my old credit card statement), it's just the fact they sent out three different emails that I was highlighting.

 

I can only assume that different clubs have slightly different pricing structures, hence the different emails.

Was it any of those three numbers? :)

I always like the way incompetent companies blame inanimate objects for their screw ups.
