Are we that hard up?

Red Rep King!
Are we that hard up that the club has to duplicate the Jabo story by text to every subscriber thereby conning each and every one of us out of an extra 25pence plus standard network message rate? Refunds due please SUFC!
 
I used to subscribe to the away text alerts only. Last week I had a message to say it was stopping and I was going to continue on the general news alerts, with a minimum 8 per week. Pre kick off v MK Dons, I got two separate texts giving me the lineups, one for each team.

I cancelled my subscription on the dot and now get texts via orange mobile services, that only costs me £3 per month for everything.
 
i have cancelled mine with immediate effect after today's episode, i suspect many more will follow suit!
 
I subscribed to the text alerts for breaking news, transfers etc... I used to receive about 3 or 4 a month. Last week I had the same text as fbm telling me they wanted to send me 8 per week and cancelled straight away.
 
I cancelled my subscription to the SMS service when I received an SMS informing me that Tes Bramble had gone out on loan.

This was about 1 minute after I had purchased a Tes Bramble mug from the club shop.

I just goes to show that the people with real power are the ones that control information.

More to the point, where's that mug money now Ron?

I just hope Tes was compensated for his image rights because it is a short career and thank my lucky stars that I wasn't getting a tattoo or changing my name by deed poll when I received the Tes bombshell.

Yeah looking back on it getting a tattoo of Tes Bramble's face over my own may have been a mistake.
 
I subscribe to the text alerts and only got the Jabo story once. I can't believe I've been neglected this way!
 
Could be worse; they could have texted you Ron's blog in 160 character chunks. Would only have cost just over £17 plus standard network charges.
