cenotaph 34 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have today cancelled my sky sports package. I would like it to be known that I have not cancelled this due to financial reasons nor am i dissatisfied with the Sky product.I support Rangers FC and you might be aware of the overly severe punishments that were handed out to Rangers FC by the SFA. As Sky themselves contribute heavily to the SFA/SPL I find that i can no longer morally give money to support these organisations who seem to be doing their utmost to punish Rangers FC more than what would be necessary or fair in comparison with other clubs who have had similar difficulties. I am only one small ripple in the ocean and my subscription will not affect Sky in the slightest but I feel that as a matter of principle I can no longer morally contribute towards ANY of the organisations that put money into the SFA/SPL.Yours.Cenotaph.e mail was sent to jeremy.darroch@bskyb.comthe phone no. 08442 410 266 Option 3 then Option 4 to remove sport from my package.

So I would imagine they would already be well aware of what the SFA is doing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the brown brogue 1,909 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 31 days noticeAh right cool, like I say dont have it myself but hopefully if enough bears cancel, state their reasons for dong so and also make it clear they will not be renewing any subscriptions it will have the desired effect Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OakleyBear 19 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Fair enough but I actually watch my sky sports package a lot so this would be difficult for me. I might go down the middle of the road and cancel my hd tho. This way I hit them in the pocket but im not actually losing much of my free time.

Ed Force One 30 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Jolly good. I'll miss my German fitba' on ESPN, but the whole package is getting slung. William Hill account was closed today as well, along with a nice "C-ya" email. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilbolio 2 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Sky and Espn are the big players here. This is the one along with the away ban that will hurt the spl and sfa the most. I'll miss it but it's a sacrifice that must be made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
