    the personal touch

    "Dear Holliday

    blah blah blah

    Yours sincerely

    Barnsley"

    And the fact that they think its an AMAZING offer to keep the price down to only £10 more (thats 30%more) than it was 2 years ago if I switch to direct debit.

    Amazing cheek more like

    Or give you all the goals

    games etc in their highlights either.

    I wouldnt mind if they actually delivered what they promised.

    How many matches was there a goal missing, not to mention the Brentfords etc that got completely omitted.

    I subscribed a few months ago on the promise of a copy of FM2005

    Money went immediately from my account. FM2005 is still yet to arrive.

    Our club have genuinely teamed up with great company there. You can't phone em when you have a problem (eh Cazi?), but they phone you 5 times a month when your subs run out trying to get you back on board. Fundamentally f*cking sh*te so they are.

    Oh, and I'm sure I'll get my copy of FM 2005, when FM 2006 is out. Tw*ts.

    This is one occasion where we can't just blame our club...

    as it's the inept ******** at the Football League that signed them up for summat like 10 years, basically cos no-one else is interested

    Well I must say that they sound completely incompetent.

    It doesn't effect me as I don't subscibe, but it still annoys me... like on Tuesday... loads of my mates had been asking to let them know when I did my first live commentary on radio, and they were all going to tune in... and it wasn't on because Premium TV couldn't be ar$ed.

    Yep the offer hasn't been followed up, I'm cancelling tomorrow, never to return until those ooompah lumpas are tossed aside. BTW Has Turnbull signed for Old-erham?

    Just seeing the name makes me riled.

    I've never known a company like it. I will never ever understand why you can not ring for tech help on match days, the day you are most likely to need it.

    I used to advocate telephoning during the week when you had a problem, but even that seems to be a lost cause now.

    You missed a beauty whilst you was away. They had it plastered on the Official Site that the commentary for the game against Hull would be live. They didn't even provide a link!!

    I emailed them yesterday, rang them and again today and still no one has explained what went wrong.

    The only thing they are quick at is taking your money when your renewal is due.
