Setanta : Wed Mar 25, 2009 10:10 pm  

Setanta are cutting their NRL games down to 1 a week instead of the 2 or3 they can show. They advertise a minimum of 2 games a week for subscribers. They are doing this for the next 2 months. Apparently they explained to a Wigan fan that they were covering extra Magners Rugby Union games. I have sent a strongly worded email threatening to cancel my subscription if the NRL games are not reinstated. I would like as many as possible to email them and complain, if enough do it could possibly sway things. http://www.setanta.com/uk/Contact-Us/

Thanks for that. I'm currently off work so was thinking of subscribing, but not just for the one match per week.

I have emailed them and I have just got off the phone with them, someone is calling me back with in 5 working days as they couldn't tell me how many games they are intending to show in the future. I have canceled my direct debit and won't re-start it unless they are showing at least 2 games a week in the future. I have also looked on their site and they are only showing 1 game next week.

Their customer service is all outsourced and majority of them don't have a clue. http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... page_id=28 This is the best site for televised games. 1 per week for a while

f.....g typical - I've recently re-subscribed due to the NRL starting and now it's down to 1 game per week - ah well at least the Footy Show's still on - maybe ?

Isn't Setanta going down the pan?

Maybe Sky will get NRL games back if that happens?

Think I heard something along those line or someone is buying them out.

I was tempted to get Setanta but not a chance now if this is the case.

The Setanta coverage via the 'freeview' box is a bit rubbish too , with only limited broadcasting time for the subscription fee.
