Heard some time ago that all play-off semi-finals will be televised. For those of us who can't make the trip to Swindon does anyone know the tv details!?

Phoned up yesterday to add Sky Sports back into our package.
"That'll be £18 per month. Afraid the football special offer has just finished."
"What football special offer is that?"
"For the World Cup"
"But Sky aren't covering the World Cup, are you?"
"Oh um that's right. How about if we do it half price for you - £9 a month?"
"OK. Deal."
Comedian Jon Richardson (was on Have I got news for you last week) has a great routine about phoning Sky and haggling. Reckons if you already have a package with them, threaten to leave and go to Virgin Media or BT and they will always do you a good deal.

Or as another comedian once said ''I'm leaving the company to get a better deal'' as a threat but then they just said, ''Ok thanks bye'' and then he had to plead to get back on his contract and pay more for the same deal!

ha, that's made me chuckle. Strange though that whenever i read about stuff with certain companies on the web and i get a bit brave and try a bit of haggling, i never get anywhere !
I got a good deal haggling with Sky, I moved last November and they said all I had to do was give them my new address details and they would transfer me over, I told them I hed recieved a better quote from Virgin so I would think about it...............bingo, the guy on the other end says "no need for that sir, what about if I start you off in your new address as a brand new customer then you will get all the deals", I thought for a min and then said "go on then, it will save the hassle of transfering to Virgin"
Phew.......Virgin do not even cover my area so I am glad he did not check, happy days.

Haggle with them, you cannot go wrong, they do not want to lose you.
Does anyone know a website where you can search for pubs with SKY within an area of a certain postcode, as I will be at my sisters on the night off the away leg so I need to search for pubs within the area with Sky.

Have a walk around the streets on Google Earth and you'll be able to see which pubs advertise SKY....

Thanks, didn't find anything but will do the Google idea now.
Your intimate knowledge of all things pub - and on a nationwide scale - is very impressive P...
You must spend a lot of time researching...
All the arab channels will be showing our games so the new owners can see what they are getting before the takeover is signed.
Wish I could afford to.........
