2008/2009 Fixtures - PLEASE ALL READ OPENING POST


Dave

Recommended Posts

NUFC's fixtures can be found here: www.nufc.com

 

Full fixtures for all clubs can be found here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/fixtures/default.stm

 


 

As most will already know, this list is strictly copyrighted. The Premier League enforce this copyright by chasing webhosts and closing down websites where fixtures are published illegally by threatening legal action.

 

The fixtures cost £435 to buy for one club (thousands of pounds for all clubs), so paying for them for this forum is unfortunately out of the question. We therefore have no alternative but to enforce our own rules, which mean that no fixture lists may be reproduced on this forum, in any way. This means no workarounds, such as fake names, partial lists; nothing.

 

This is the one rule that is enforced by nearly every website on the internet, so we hope you don't see it as a reason to complain. If you know of a forum where fixtures are allowed, please feel free to go there.

 

To summarise:

 

Not Allowed

  • Any fixtures in list format.
  • No specific dates or locations of any match.

 

Allowed

  • General discussion. 'I think we will win our first match' is obviously okay. 'I think we'll beat Boro and Sunderland and finish the season well' is just about okay.
  • Links to other websites where the fixtures have been paid for, such as NUFC.com, the BBC etc.

 

 

As an example of what can happen if fixtures are posted illegally, please read this: http://www.bsad.org/0506/reports/fixtures_letter.html. A previous incarnation of this website/forum has also been closed down in the past.

 

Anyone found to be deliberately or repeatedly breaking the rules on posting fixtures will be banned for 14 days as per this rule: http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=19161.0

 

Any questions, add them in this thread. What we can and can't post is a pretty grey area, but we're trying to avoid all possibility of the forum being closed down. Better safe than sorry is our policy.

 

Thanks,

 

Admin.

How much does it cost to allow their publication?

 

I think something around £435 to buy for one club but probably thousands of pounds for all clubs.

 

That link to the correspondence on the Watford fansite was very interesting.

Isn't there a special exception made to 'fanclubs' etc. and that they don't have to pay £435? Maybe someone from this forum (i.e. the admin) should contact the peeps at St. James' and find out if we can excepted from paying £435 as well.

And it still costs them £123, it's not free.
