O/T Setanta Sports : Fri Jun 19, 2009 5:29 pm  

Setanta have lost their premier League Footy rights , Can they hang on till the end of the SOO and the grand final in September ?

Cancelled my subscription at the end of the season anyway, I could see this coming. They'll really struggle without the premier league games and I doubt they can justify charging the £12.99 I was paying any more.

I get it and pay them nowt so the the longer they last the better

What puzzles me about Setanta, is that they suddenly appeared in the main stream market one day, out of the blue.

They came from out of nowhere.

When you want to switch Setanta on they charge you fee plus the monthly charge. You don't get that with Sky Sports etc as you just turn it on for a month or 2 and cancel without switch on fee.
Thats their biggest problem in attracting customers IMO.
Shame they have problems because its evidence again that the monopoly Sky have will not be broken

No, they came out of Ireland, with borrowed money.

I got 2 months 1/2 price so it pretty much negated the unwanted connection fee...
