www.halifaxrlfc.co.uk/article.php?id=6360 not really a deal as its the same price on their site in fact i think the deal has just increased in price. only benefit is the fax cut of it and letting them know we are the most in demand team to watch outside super league (i hope)

Can't subscribed becase I'm with Virgin Media.

i will be getting it and dropping sky sports

Think you need to put Halifax in the Promo Code field if you do it online to make sure that Fax get the £10.

can you get it only through sky? or can you attatch it to 'freeview' packages and the like?

The FAQ section on their web-site covers most queries you may have.

£7.99 a month or £79.99 for 12 months.
£5 signup fee.
2 months minimum.
You need a Sky box and card, but no other Sky subscription required.
It's not HD - yet
32 Championship games a year, spread across the Championship, Championship 1, NRC and playoffs.

Not that great a deal if you only want Fax away games (as I do, for when I can't get there).

But there is the bonus of the NRL games

Good! I wondered where we were suppose to put Halifax. I went online and tried to subscribe but binned it as i didnt know where to put us (Halifax) so that the club got the money. Thanks for clearing it up. I then rang up which was a joke trying to subscribe as the guy i spoke to kept making excuses about a bad line as he couldnt get my info right so my advice would be to do it online if you can.

Sure is, minimum of 4 games a week this last season, seen more NRL than SL

For this to really be successful the RFL and clubs need to get this channel on Virgin Media as a lot of us are Virgin Media customers and won't be able to get it, I have written to them and they just say they will look at it if the demand arises so get writing everybody please!

What did u put in your e-mail to them?!

Details of my own email to Virgin and their response:

In view of the latest news that Sky Sports will no longer be covering Championship Rugby League and that it is going to be screened exclusively on Premier Sports from 2012, is there any chance that this channel could become available on the Virgin Media platform at some stage in the near future?

If not, there may well be a scenario whereby thousands of rugby league fans in the north of England would look to move their services direct to Sky. I have been with yourselves for many years but I, for one, would not be particularly happy to make such a move but the fact that Virgin Media are not even considering the pay-per-view of Premier Sports will definitely make me reconsider.

I understand that Premier Sports show a wide variety of sports including non-League football. This is a very appealing feature as not everybody follows the Manchester United's, Arsenal's and Liverpool's of this world.

Your query regarding Premier Sports channel has been passed to me to take a look at for you.

We currently have no plans to add this channel to our line-up, should demand for the channel increase and an arrangment with the provider be agreed will we add the service.

We do add new channels and services all the time, most recently we have added the PBS channel to our current line up.

THEY ARE CLEARLY NOT INTERESTED!







CAN EVERYBODY ELSE WHO IS WITH VIRGIN PLEASE FLOOD THEM WITH EMAILS

OR even could EVERYBODY bombard them with emails (not Just Virgin users)

even better

Premier Sports have been asking people to do that for the last 2 years. Virgin got bombarded when NRL games went to Premier sports, looks like Virgins stance hasn't changed.

Someone pen an email and post it on here with an address to send it to so everyone can copy, paste and send. In fact, I've seen Facebook pages for more pathetic reasons so why not exploit that avenue as well?

Update, extracted from Virgin Media Forum:

=#0040BFI am responsible for the content proposition for sports and Premium channel offerings at Virgin Media. I appreciate hearing your views on Premier Sports and your interest in having this channel available on Virgin Media. I agree with you in that Premier Sports provides some great coverage of live sporting events and it is evolving into an impressive channel, I am pleased to say that we are in fairly advanced negotiations with Premier Sports and we really hope to launch this channel in the coming months, I’m afraid I don’t have a set date at the moment but if you keep an eye on our website we will keep it updated with launch news. We do constantly review and evolve the channels we make available and try very hard to give everyone something they really want so it's really useful to hear comments from customers like you. This really helps us develop our future thinking and product roadmap.

Kind regards
