Foxiles unimpressed having to pay to listen (06/08/02)


Leicester City fans who live outside the area are coming to terms with the fact that from Saturday they'll no longer be able to hear games over the Internet unless they pay to subscribe to PTV's premium service, Leicester City World.

Fans could usually listen to the Radio Leicester commentary around the world via the website, but that is to end this season.

Loyal fans feel as though they are being screwed for more and more money, and FFS has received e-mails from many irate foxiles.

It's easy to blame the club...but maybe we'd better get our facts straight first. Is it the club that have chosen this route or is it PTV (NTL's) greedy little mits on it again? And if that's the case then are we just as much to blame because as shareholders we voted for the NTL deal that as well as giving us millions of pounds, also gave them exclusive rights to the god awful official website...

PTV have the rights to nearly all the other 1st division clubs so there's probably not even a chance to hear the commentary (however biased) from other radio stations now either.

Foxiles who are going to have to sign up are able to join now for £19.99 until Jan 2003 or £34.99 until August 2003 (Don't forget naff all happens during summer though including no daily updates on the damn thing). It's normally £4.99 per month.

Tell us what you think about this in our FFS Fans Forum.
