I hope he'll publish it soon!! We're not gonna stop until we get our Serie A back right?!?!?! I didn't get to watch Maldini's goals live n ammmmm so mad!! I can't wait to send them the petition...the more people sending it the better...let them get it into their thick head that we want our calcio back!

Hey guys...how come it's so quiet.....everyone have given up on Starhub cable

Guys, the petition have reached more than 600 signatures.
Should we strike when the iron is hot. I hope there will be a coverage for these to let Starhub know that we aren't giving up.

wow after reading the petitons page by page....I think the petitions speak volume. I hope we can get our Serie A back. My weekend is not the same, there's nothing to look forward too.

All of us here should print the petition page n send it to Starhub?I've save my copy in MS Word..just waiting to hit the print button When is Ernest's interview going to be publish?

I told my dad that I'm cancelling the Sports channel...no one seems to mind. Was going to cancel on Monday but then I got to know that they are showing Brazil's match on Thursday morning... if I can't watch Milan then 3/11 of Milan will have to do

3/11ths ha ha!! That's funny...........Afraid i can't cancel just yet as ESPN are now going to show the Heineken cup rugby. Not that many of you will care but at least I have the chance to watch my favourite Stade Toulousain in action

Hi !

Haven't been here in a while but just to answer some older posts... about the Serie A fan club, haven't worked out where/when/how to watch the games. I reckon the primary focus right now is to get the games back on TV in the first place.

Speaking of which, Ernest is taking a little longer than expected with the story - he's still awaiting some answers from StarHub - but we shouldn't ease the pressure.

Clearly, they know about the petition as I've forwarded them the link AGES ago and sent them a printout as well when it had hit 500 signatures. Besides, they do read The New Paper, don't they, so of course they know about the petition? But keep printing and sending them copies of the petition - flood their mailboxes. We're at 650 signatures right now and growing daily, even if it's just bit by bit.

Meanwhile, this is the latest I got from Riccardo (remember the lovely guy who gave us the Treviso-Milan game? ) this morning, and it really pissed me off to learn about this:

When in Singapore they say that the problem is the "high price" of the rights, basically they're lying since they don't want the rights even for free...
We are talking of the package of our agency (home matches of 4 Serie A clubs).
I think it would be a good proposition for Starhub, since Channel 5 will probably broadcast most of the times on a delayed basis, because of the clash with the evening News, and in any case not all the matches of our package (but only one per weekend).
For example, the upcoming matches of our package includes:
- next Sunday: Lazio vs Fiorentina and Cagliari vs AC Milan (Ch.5 will probably broadcast only one match, Starhub could broadcast the other match, live);
- the following weekend: Lecce-Juventus (Ch.5 will probably broadcast it only on a delayed basis, Starhub could broadcast it live);
etc.. etc.. Starhub is refusing to broadcast those matches, when they have them for free.... Incredible, isn't it?
It is very hard to understand what is going on in Singapore, since this situation is unique and never happened before anywhere else in the world. It just looks like they want to damage their own subscribers... but is there a reason for that? Can it be possible?
Hard to understand...

UNQUOTE

StarHub is treating us all like idiots!! They think we don't know squat about what they're doing behind our backs, cheating us of what we're already paying for! I'm definitely taking this to CASE but I need to wait for Ernest's story to be published first. Meanwhile, keep up the pressure on StarHub - let them know we're not a bunch of ignorant consumers who'll just pay and be happy with whatever they decide to give or not give to us!

I've cleared my inbox..it can fit in 2 more PMs..only

Read Riccardo's email in Farah's post ...I need to sit down n cool down...

Ernest's story will be in today's New Paper (14 October).

for those who miss the coverage of sat newpaper:

It was BELLISSSSSSSSIMO!!!!! We watched at a sort of food court (no aircon of course) under a gazebo style roof (hence the name SS15 gazebo). There were about 20 milanistis against less than 10 juventinis seated at another table, and of course we had the most to cheer!! And then, there was an Astro tv crew who came to interview an elderly chap, Roslan, a true blue Milanese Andrea, and myself. I made sure to slam Starhub for forcing me to come all the way up to KL just to catch my team on tv
Even tho' those morons won't get the message as it's to be shown on Astro channels only of course......
Still, definitely worth the trip. We cud rent a van next time and go up for an early sunday morning game, that wud be great fun.
