I've had a quick look at the saints website but I can't find a link for match dvd's.

Do you sell your own or is it an external company, like Micron?

^^^ Aye, be good to know too, anyone in the know?? Last nights game for sure is a classic that's worth owning if possible.

I always thought there games against Hull FC were there cup final, obviously not...

Who?

Like a cup final celebration at the end wasn't it

It appears since the start of last season clubs have been prevented from selling DVDs/videos of Super League matches. A pity really, I liked buying a copy of the very few games I am prevented from attending because of work commitments.

Yes it was and we enjoyed it. It shows just how highly Rovers fans rate St Helens.

We're still fresh out of the National Leagues for goodness sake. So naturally it is very sweet to beat a fabulous team like Saints. Why wouldn't it be? Not all that long ago we were going to places like Batley and getting beaten.

We've suffered for years and now we are lapping up the good things that have been happening to us. For the hard core of HKR fans beating Saints is a dream we never thought could happen. We know that even now we still have a way to go.

I know that watching opposition fans whooping with delight can be a bit of a pain. We've been there. A lot more often than you, actually. But really it 's a compliment. We enjoyed it so much because we recognise you as the best team of the Super League era.

I love you Bob.

Its called passion. Something your "fans" know nothing about, hence your awful away support.

It wasn't a trick question!
I buy home match dvd every week as prizes for the Junior Robins; win, lose or draw and I've decided to buy more away games now.
Surprised Saints aren't allowed to sell them as suggested above.
I can only guess an outside company is selling them.
Anyone know who it is?

Too busy saving up for the expense of the finals mate, it costs a fortune going to 2 finals a year for the past 3 years....credit crunch and all that.

see you at old trafford

If you find out who does ... please let me know. There are a couple of games I couldn't get to last year (one home and one away) that I would like to see.

Micron

Are you sure on that? I asked about the Hull home game last year and they never mentioned not being able to sell it, it was a good few weeks before it was due to become available though.

That is 100% incorrect. Never had a problem getting games from FC,Wire,Rovers and Wigan...I think it's just individual clubs like Saints if you say they don't sell them.

This is becoming very confusing, or I am being fed all kind of lies from the club Shops. I was in the USA on business when Saints played at Huddersfield last August, my dad went in to the town centre shop 6 or 7 times and ordered the DVD. Each time he went in to collect it they kept saying it hasn't arrived. Eventually they told him he had to order from Knowsley Road; we went up there and we were told that Sky had decided they are not able to sell DVDs of Super League games - I pointed out that it wasn't a Sky match and they said it made no difference, they are not allowed to sell them anymore.

If anyone has managed to buy a DVD of a Saints game since the middle of last season, let me know. I also remember Ron Hoofe commenting on the Season Review 2008 DVD that we cannot get DVDs now and if we did want to see them again we should complain (or words to that affect).

Tobias - I went in search of a match from last season just a couple of weeks ago and was told at the Saints shop that they no longer do DVDs and haven't done any from last season. When I asked why, I got a somewhat vague response but along the lines of 'I don't think they think it is worth it, something about Sky and copyright'. So I've no idea whether Sky have introduced/hiked up copyright charges or whether they have banned clubs from making DVDs as of last season or whether Saints have opted to stop paying any copyright fees in the interests of outlay.

That was easy wasnt it?

Let me guess you're a teenager.

Thanks for that SaintsFan, that more or less tallies with what the shop said to us - although they implied this applied to all Super League matches, not just those involving Saints.

Ski, Micron did indeed supply the DVD/video products to Saints, but they are not permitted to supply direct - even though they do record all the matches for the Club.

Right
I've rung the Saints shop, which isn't the number that says 'shop' - that's the internet shop

They told me they don't do current matches because of Sky copyright, but they might be able to get me one from Micron, or I could ring them myself

I rang Micron and they told me they couldn't selll direct, I'd have to ring Saints shop

I told him I had and that they'd told me to ring them

He's checking and ringing me back

Also just heard Rovers shop might be getting some from ....Saints shop.

Let us know how you get on HKRsid.

The changes/problems appeared to happen when Super League started its paid-for SLTV online service last year. The RFL may have sold the rights to that company - last season all games were available online for a fee. That service has finished - probably because of the very poor quality of the video.

Perhaps we may see the DVDs return now that the paid-for SLTV service has been terminated.

will do
