Thedelldays Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 Just had an email stating that saints player will be increased by 20p per month... Just thought I would share this That is all
Minty Posted 19 July, 2012 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
Granite_City_Saint Posted 19 July, 2012 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?
DaveyR Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 I've had the same emails except the in the reverse order to you!!
Thedelldays Posted 19 July, 2012 Author Posted 19 July, 2012 Just had three emails I think it is to cover all bases lol
CB Fry Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 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.
S-Clarke Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 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.
VectisSaint Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 Seems that we are all getting the 3 mails, tried to find out from my online account what scheme currently on but there is no useful information at all. I just have this feeling that I will be billed 3 times.
Thedelldays Posted 19 July, 2012 Author Posted 19 July, 2012 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. What. Why have they done this at 2230? FFS I don't think this is anything to do with the club to be honest
Saint_clark Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 This isn't anything to do with the club, it's perform. Shhhh!
SaintBobby Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 Excellent. To be simply told my bill is going up would be annoying. To be told three different ways my bill might go up makes me feel like I have options. Nice.
doubleonothing Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 Yup. 3 e-mails here as well. Now I can't remember how I pay for the damn thing.
saintmatt Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 We're not alone - this is on other clubs' forums as well
CB Fry Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 What. Why have they done this at 2230? FFS It's alright. I'm awake. Just waiting for the latest transfer announcements to come out of the club. Usually around now....
Verbal Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 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. Would you like to put a name to your straw man?
Saint_Jonny Posted 19 July, 2012 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.
fareham saint phil Posted 19 July, 2012 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
buctootim Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 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. Its flexible pricing.
CB Fry Posted 19 July, 2012 Posted 19 July, 2012 Its flexible pricing. ...just when I was nearly losing faith in this forum. Better gag than mine. Goodnight.
suewhistle Posted 19 July, 2012 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 *****'..
CanadaSaint Posted 19 July, 2012 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.
sticksaint Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 Very good .Nice to have a laugh early in the morning!
dubai_phil Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 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!
skintsaint Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 Decided to cancel it. Only used it to watch the goals and now in the Prem the goals will be on the main sport channels here now. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Gingeletiss Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 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[/quote No, I'm a first timer as well, happy with it at the mo hth.
Saint Garrett Posted 20 July, 2012 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. I will see how it goes, if I dont use it. ill cancel it.
Doctoroncall Posted 20 July, 2012 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!
Brussels Saint Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 I quite like it, but seriously how can they have no iPad support
yateleysaint Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 That was easy to cancel. The only trouble is I'm tied in until next February.
itchen_dan Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 That was easy to cancel. The only trouble is I'm tied in until next February. So if I cancel now, can I continue to use it until my subscription expires on August the 10th?
Mattio Posted 20 July, 2012 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
M271 Posted 20 July, 2012 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 !
Sour Mash Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 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.
Sour Mash Posted 20 July, 2012 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. I will see how it goes, if I dont use it. ill cancel it. Our goals were always freely available to watch on the BBC website when we were in the Championship.
yateleysaint Posted 20 July, 2012 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.
Golden Balls Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 Still waiting for the HD coverage to kick in as promised following the last price increase
sotonist Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 I had three emails.

So, which is it to be then Saints...?! lol What were you paying? 1 - 39.99 2 - 51.48 3 - 35.99
Minty Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 What were you paying? 1 - 39.99 2 - 51.48 3 - 35.99 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.
beatlesaint Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 I have just been sent an apology e mail for the errors of yesterday and can confirm the price has gone up by £2 to £37.99.

philelec Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 I have just been sent an apology e mail for the errors of yesterday and can confirm the price has gone up by £2 to £37.99. I have just received the same thing except that it has gone up by GBP 0.20p per month to GBP53.88 per year.
sotonist Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 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?
Minty Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 Was it any of those three numbers? Yes. They didn't f*ck it up THAT much.
itchen_dan Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 I wish Saints would just start providing their own website and own video service. Saints player (Perform Group) is poor and expensive and Football League Interactive get companies to create cluttered websites full of annoying useless ads.
ThreeSixty Posted 20 July, 2012 Posted 20 July, 2012 Canceled at the end of last season. Can't believe they expect people to pay for that dreadful video quality in 2012.

I always like the way incompetent companies blame inanimate objects for their screw ups.
Thedelldays Posted 20 July, 2012 Author Posted 20 July, 2012 Received another email saying the three sent was a mishap and now confirms my payment schedule which is set up
