O/T Setanta, has anyone taken advantage of £3.33 per month ? : Thu May 07, 2009 4:31 pm  

Last month i gave Setanta the 30 days notice to quit after they cut the NRL live games from 2 games per week to just one. Yesterday just as they were about to switch off my subscription i got a call from them offering me Setanta for just £3.33 a month for 3 months, i thought what the heck i`ll go for it as its worth it just for the test match on friday and the up and coming Origin series. After a bit of research on google i found out that they are apparently concerned about losing customers over the summer period which is on top of them already being in a bit of strife as a company. Ring them up and see if you can get the same http://www.brandrepublic.com/News/90297 ... customers/

i got em down to 6 quid last month for the next 3 months using the nrl as my reasoning, tbh i've not been watching much rugby on there for a while so it was a clear waste of money for me, the woman i spoke to didn't even lie to me saying it'll be back to normal soon but offer me the half price.

The only other thing i watch on setanta is the UFC and i've got out of the habit of watching that, this 3 months takes me past the lesnar-mir fight, i might try and see if i jib them down again at that point.

Just say a friend of yours that subscribes to Setanta just for the NRL has had his subscription reduced to £3.33 for 3 months, ask them what they can do for you, just say that you only subscribe for the rugby league as the other sports they offer don`t interest you.

You will get it for £3.33 for 3 months as they need the custom, they would rather have you on £3.33 a month than risk losing you and have you pay nothing at all.

I cancelled mine a couple of months back. It took an age, they wouldn't recognise the cancellation, which I'd sent verbally, written, via email & smoke signal.

Even at £3.33, I don't think I'll be getting it back.

I found fitting the NRL games in, hard work. I used to SKY+ them, then finding time to watch them etc. The Saturday live football clashed with SL, the only thing I miss really is the Monday night games, and of course the fantastic non league action that they have.

I reckon, right now, there's less people subscribing to Setanta than there was interest in your RLFans Horse Racing syndicate.

Well the syndicate had about two or three interested parties so I think you could be spot on there JWP

Or woollies

Think they are due to make a £30m payment to the FA or Football League this month but are urgently seeking to renegotiate the payment

My cancellation notice will be going off at the end of the month, and I will never again subscribe.
