How many times must you ring a premium rate line?

I think the problem is that there aren't enough flags about. I've seen a few but they obviously aren't working. I saw one house that only had five in the garden FFS.

Yes, bottom right of page 71. '... while Andrew Surman is due to join Sheffield United for £1.2m.'

Steady on! We don't know how many people received this email (which I am happy to forward to anyone remotely interested). I receive sporadic communications from the club, be they by post or email, and I suspect that I only received this one because I had signed up to some obscure newsletter in the past. I tend to agree with Stu, that this email was part of a general ticketing update and not specifically aimed at existing season-ticket holders.

It is credit, but a licence is not needed if credit is not extended beyond three months, or customers are allowed to pay their bills in four or fewer payments within 12 months.

Presumably the club would need a Consumer Credit Licence?

It could be worse. At least we're not French.

Well let's just say that the number of season tickets is unlikely to have been increased by this approach.

I received an email on 7th June at 11:55: 'Season and Match Day packages announced'. This was from sender@eshot.me on behalf of SFC Marketing (marketing@saintsfc.co.uk). I think this was only because I had previously registered for Saints news and not because I was a season-ticket holder last season. I don't remember giving my email address when I bought the tickets, and I don't think the club ever asks for them. It told me 'Season tickets will go on sale at 9am on Tuesday 1st June' even though the email was the following Monday.

I love it! Give me more.

Amongst over 10,000 people there are bound to be some who are undecided about renewing because of any number of perfectly valid reasons. In the past they have always received an invitation to renew through the post around March/April time and a lot of these will not have ready access to the internet. You cannot expect them to telephone the ticket office every week for three months to find out what is happening. We have regularly received all sorts of mailshots and irrelevant supporters' charters so it must have been a deliberate decision not to send out blanket renewal invitations. You can draw your own conclusions from that.

It would be impolite to sit on it.

Not sending out reminders/invitations to renew is a guaranteed way to lose regular customers. This is true in any line of business. Anyone who was undecided about renewing is a potential lost customer, especially when there is such a short and late time window for renewal.

Apology accepted, let's move on.

Someone once told me: "once you give up your season ticket, you never get another one".

If you like the cheers then you must take the jeers.

Ok, that's worth ruining a tournament for, then.

What possible justification is there for charging for an online purchase? The only extra cost is the postage.

Remid me again... why do we have a new ball?

Sorry, I didn't look at the link.

Thanks, I'm logged in again. The process was different but at least I've got there. In the list of forums under "sports>soccer>" there was a list of a couple of pages and saintsweb wasn't in it until I had deleted my entry in the main program.

Argentina were over-hitting quite a few balls too. There's certainly something different about this World Cup and a lot of 'world-class' players are ballooning free-kicks into the crowd.

Not for me, I'm afraid. Still the same responses.

It's unencrypted on the satellite so you don't need a subscription. Perhaps you could pick up a cheap system?

At what date were the fines effective? Was it, or could it have been, before the date of administration?
