It's 4.45 On A Saturday Afternoon, You're In The Middle Of Nowhere, and Your Team is In Relegation Trouble

The end of the football season is approaching and fans everywhere are gritting their teeth with dread at the thought of their team being relegated, or crossing their fingers with the hope of moving up. Sports Interactive is making it easier than ever for football fans to keep an eye on the latest scores from their favourite teams with the introduction of a new SMS service.

Offered in conjunction with GiveUstheScore.com, this special service allows the legion of Champ Man fans to get all the scores from their chosen team or teams at a single, low-cost fee that is offered from a selection of services. These fantastic offers incorporate just one fee per service (for the whole year): subscribers do not pay per message, as with other SMS services.

There is a service available to suit every budget, from the Bronze ‘entry level’ product, which gives you the full- and extra-time scores for your favourite football team for just £6.80 (plus VAT) a year, (13p per week) to the Super Gold package, which gives subscribers all the information for two teams of their choice, including pre-match notification, team line-ups for both the home and away teams, goal by goal alerts (including scorer and time of goal), red cards (including the reason given), extra time notification and match attendance figures. For more details on all of the packages available, visit: http://www.sigames.com/eng/about_promotions_giveusthescore.shtml.

Commenting on the new service, Managing Director Miles Jacobson offered, “At Sports Interactive, we are always looking for new ways to add value to being a member of the SI fan base, and teaming up with GiveUstheScore.com allows us to just that. We know our fans are, first and foremost, die-hard football fanatics, just like us, so we had a pretty good idea that this service would appeal to them. Early take-up of the service has been good, so we’re confident that we’re onto a winner… again!”

Murray Rigluth from GiveUstheScore.com added, “Working with Sports Interactive allows us to reach a new sector of our target market, which might not have been aware of our services before. The crossover is perfect. We’re looking forward to building a long, mutually beneficial relationship with SI. As we say at Give Us The Score, “It’s either real-time, or a waste of time.”
