SydneyRich Posted 10 April, 2010 Share Posted 10 April, 2010 FFS it is getting worse. Got an email back from them saying they are looking into it and 'investigating' the problem. Sounds like they haven't got a clue! COYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted 10 April, 2010 Share Posted 10 April, 2010 Why is the Charlton feed absolutely perfect, but the Saints feed is crap? Numbers of users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 10 April, 2010 Share Posted 10 April, 2010 Why is the Charlton feed absolutely perfect, but the Saints feed is crap? Numbers of users? I doubt it. We're at home so most of our lot are at the game. It's utter crap that they can't seem to sort this out. I complained and I've already been 'awarded' a free month. That's my second free month, so they'll soon be paying me to listen rather than vice versa. Sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't at the game today and listened to the first half on Radio Solent on my car radio in Sussex on 96.1. Got home and listened to the 2nd half on Saints Player - with short breaks in sound as others have said. Not enough to ruin the listening but still not acceptable quality for a paid-for service.

Ohio Saint Posted 10 April, 2010 Share Posted 10 April, 2010 So what do you actually use the unicorn poo for I bury all my unicorn poo under Pompey's pitch. It helps fantasies grow, but has no substance in the real world, so it only increases the disappointment when the fairy tales end and normal life becomes reality again.

LOL. God only knows what kind of rejection is behind your prejudice (it sounds like the overseas kind - male or female), but it's time for you to seek help. Good luck with that.

If saints handed it back to the BBC to broadcast on the interweb it would no doubt be faultless. I still cant believe so many people are paying for a substandard version of what essentially is a licence fee paid service. The more people that refuse to pay for it the more they might do about providing a service worth paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still cant believe so many people are paying for a substandard version of what essentially is a licence fee paid service. The more people that refuse to pay for it the more they might do about providing a service worth paying for. Yes I am well aware of the fact that it is just simply Radio Solent (we have enough updates from Eastleigh, Havant, Bomo and even skatesmuff on matchdays :mad:). All the teams in League 1 (except Leeds I beleive) have the same set up, so no Live Radio feeds are available on the Internet, regardless if I stump up or not :cool:. Our main gripe is by selecting 'the oppositions' commentary the signal doesn't keep cutting out like The Saints commentary does, so the problem seems to be either with Solent or SFC or the pair of them. So as I said earlier it's this or nothing at all .... and I need my weekly fix of SFC despite the pain and the agony (and hangovers) we have to go through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You left for the money/weather. Live with the consequences... I'm wondering if your contempt extends itself to my friend in Wimbledon? His parents still live in Woolston, where he grew up; so he's back in So'ton regularly. We went to St. Mary's College together in the sixties. We get together for every game (Saturdays and mid-week) via the internet on Saints Player and email back-and-forth. We still have a passion for the Saints after all these years. Incredible, eh? Is he a "zero" too? BTW, I stopped getting the Pink in the late sixties; but I do remember fondly going down to my local newsagent's in Hythe every Saturday evening in the early sixties to get details about that week's game. [Were you supporting Saints back in 1962?] I could only go to a few games a season back then, cos I lived in Hythe and was just a nipper. Was I a "zero" even back then? Jeez, I never knew!

I live 250 miles away, am a season ticket holder & often have to work 6 or 7 days a week (fortunately football-wise mostly in the simmer) so rely on a service that I've paid for (it doesn't even matter how much!) to keep me in touch.

Just a thought but if our club started getting numerous calls regarding the shoddy service surely we might get them to push. Bad vibes do not make our club a happy place.
