The Gas Man 190 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Cancelled my Sky sports package today, whilst on I asked if the wee bird if they had received a lot of cancellation requests from Rangers fans.She said, No, not as many as she thought there would've been. She didn't even give me the sky supports Scottish football at all levels blah blah blah speech.BTW, I'm not telling anyone to cancel anything, everyone can do whatever they please.

We couldn't still have them at 3.I agree, although my gripe is we are playing our games at shitty times over the weekend to line other clubs pockets not our own.

The Gas Man 190 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm keeping mine! Lot more than SPL football on it!The wee bird asked me what other things I like watching on Sky, I told her programmes like When good pets go bad and When animals attack.

Surely not too high to be discounted. The option we surely have is to refuse to play every single away match to suit tv, there are another 9 teams in the league who are SFL3 teams like us.

Ed Force One 30 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 When the missus called into cancel the sports package, she was asked why. She gave Rangers as the reason and apparently the lassie said "I know, it's terrible isn't it - we've been getting a lot of cancellations". I guess it just depends who you get at the call centre.
