It wasn't a trick question!
I buy home match dvd every week as prizes for the Junior Robins; win, lose or draw and I've decided to buy more away games now.
Surprised Saints aren't allowed to sell them as suggested above.
I can only guess an outside company is selling them.
Anyone know who it is?

Too busy saving up for the expense of the finals mate, it costs a fortune going to 2 finals a year for the past 3 years....credit crunch and all that.

If you find out who does ... please let me know. There are a couple of games I couldn't get to last year (one home and one away) that I would like to see.

Are you sure on that? I asked about the Hull home game last year and they never mentioned not being able to sell it, it was a good few weeks before it was due to become available though.

That is 100% incorrect. Never had a problem getting games from FC,Wire,Rovers and Wigan...I think it's just individual clubs like Saints if you say they don't sell them.

This is becoming very confusing, or I am being fed all kind of lies from the club Shops. I was in the USA on business when Saints played at Huddersfield last August, my dad went in to the town centre shop 6 or 7 times and ordered the DVD. Each time he went in to collect it they kept saying it hasn't arrived. Eventually they told him he had to order from Knowsley Road; we went up there and we were told that Sky had decided they are not able to sell DVDs of Super League games - I pointed out that it wasn't a Sky match and they said it made no difference, they are not allowed to sell them anymore.

If anyone has managed to buy a DVD of a Saints game since the middle of last season, let me know. I also remember Ron Hoofe commenting on the Season Review 2008 DVD that we cannot get DVDs now and if we did want to see them again we should complain (or words to that affect).

Tobias - I went in search of a match from last season just a couple of weeks ago and was told at the Saints shop that they no longer do DVDs and haven't done any from last season. When I asked why, I got a somewhat vague response but along the lines of 'I don't think they think it is worth it, something about Sky and copyright'. So I've no idea whether Sky have introduced/hiked up copyright charges or whether they have banned clubs from making DVDs as of last season or whether Saints have opted to stop paying any copyright fees in the interests of outlay.
