Thank you. A relatively short turn around.
I’m sure many will find this useful information.

It will give an idea on the current delay in the form being processed.

I completed mine this afternoon - thought I would get an immediate change (can't be that difficult to automate) however having read more posts I realise that I should check again Thursday or Friday.

Re: Can I pause my skysports package while there is no live football on ?

I firmly believe that both VM and Sky can reduce the prices on all there products.

There must be thousands of customers now in cash restraints that cannot afford subs to these two companies.

Any thoughts on this.

Secondly it proves that football clubs have been hit in the pocket.

So maybe this will teach them a lesson of high salaries, and the cost of entry to grounds.

At the end of the day - its us that pay part of the clubs wages

Actually, it pretty much isn't, at least for the bigger clubs.

Sponsorship, commercial sales and TV money are their main income sources.

I do agree that players get paid far too much though.

Think that Arthur... Is saying we pay most of the income (via our TVs subs) which is used to pay the players - rather than gate money.

Check your account in a few days time - you should be able to see the credit effective the day they action it, not the day you did it.
