    Should just pay for Setanta. It's only fiver a month for the first three months and you can cancel after before it goes to 12.99. Even then when you tell them you want it taken off they usually allow you to stick with a fiver a month to keep you.

    Voted worst company in England on two or three websites

    Based on the fact that a lot of customers find it very hard to cancel their subscription after the end of the 'trial' (or at any point) with setanta hanging up the phone, promising to do something and then not doing it etc.

    Wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.

    Because football is more important than money

    and the FA don't spend the money that they earn in a correct and fair manner. They piss it up the wall on respect campaigns, inflated salaries for those that claim to be in charge and paying **** officials to ruin most football matches up and down the country with little or no comeback if they fail to perform to the required level expected in professional sports.

    Reach a wider audience, the people who maybe can't afford all these subscriptions. The FA have done what they have done best though. (N)

    RE: Voted worst company in England on two or three websites

    We had a problem once. We got it for a few months for fiver a month and it came to end of the footie season so we rang up to cancel due to nothing over the summer worth watching. They said to cancel the direct debit and at the end of the current month that we had already paid for, they would knock it off in a few weeks (which they did). To get it back for the Calazghe fight earlier this year was a pain. They asked why we cancelled the direct debit and said you can't just do that even when you are cancelling. After writing them a complaint email they rang back about a week later saying sorry and offering the first three months for a fiver again.

    Yeah England matches should be on BBC for sure. But the can't afford arguement doesn't work when it's only 1.25 a week.

    £1.25 a week we shouldn't have to spend.

    What do you get? One, maybe two, Premiership games, a non-league game and internationals every 3/4 months. Not worth the hassle.

    Problem is how many programs do they have on worth watching?

    The occasional england game which lasts roughly two hours and I believe that in 2009 they will have the rights to just 4 england games (two away qualifiers and two home friendlies). Thats around 8 hours of programming that i'd watch at a cost of £132 for the year (3 months at 5 and 9 at 12.99).

    About £16.50 per hour isn't exactly cheap.

    It is if you haven't got a pot to piss in. If someone is fully stretched financially, it doesn't matter if it's £1.25 per week or £10.25 per week. Personally, my budget is fully spent to the penny every month.
