'No longer standing in football's shadow...'
Unlike other mobile services, 'Scoreboard LIVE' will enable fans to view the latest scores and get score updates direct on their phone via one click to a team specific WAP site, removing the need to scroll through numerous web pages to get the information they need.
As well as the latest scores the scoreboard will show player substitutions and yellow and red carded players. Subscribers will also be able to view a forthcoming fixture list, which is updated automatically as fixtures are changed or confirmed.
Fans can subscribe to the service at
www.feelthegame.co.uk. There are three packages available, each service is charged at a flat rate for a 12 month subscription rather than per SMS delivered.
Premium: Alerts are sent via SMS as the score occurs, simply open the WAP link on your phone to see in game action - £20/year
Standard: In game action available on your mobile through a WAP link which can be manually refreshed to see changes - £15/year
Basic: Half time and full time scores sent via SMS direct to your phone followed by next fixture alert - £10/year
We say: The girlfriend took me to Ikea on Sunday, meaning I had to miss Leicester Tigers ensure Dean Ryan had one of those screaming migraines for at least another week.
Fortunately I signed up for Scoreboard LIVE service - albeit tip toeing into the deep murky waters of mobile phone text services - and was kept right up to speed with the score.
OK, the missus thought, I had a secret lover given the amount of messages I was getting, but it's a must for any rugby fan.
Wherever you are, Ikea, Bhs or the Seychelles, you won't miss one drop-goal of action thanks to this new service and it's extremely efficient and detailed (once you're online).
