The Athletic - £1 a month, black Friday deal.

Post by GodIsADeeJay81 » Sat Nov 28, 2020 11:56 am

£1 a month for the next 12 months if you subscribe this weekend.
That's a great price for the amount of content they have.

It rises to £7.99 after those 12 months, but you just need to remember to cancel it next year :D

And you only pay monthly. I'd had some problems with them over my renewal. They even told me I was logging on with the wrong email address and confirmed that I should be using the one that ended stokecityfc.com (and I'm serious) but then realised they hadn't taken my annual subscription. They then tried to take the full amount rather than the discounted one so in the end I told them to shove it.

Then I spotted this Black Friday deal. You don't even pay for the year, it's just £1 per month. I snapped their hands off at that deal. I subscribed initially because Oliver Kay and Daniel Taylor had moved over but there is a hell of a lot more content on there worth reading and Andy Jones does a good job covering Burnley even if he does support another club.

It's for new subscribers only. I just used a different email address to the one I'd previously used to register.

People are willing to pay for good content - they need to keep the content and quality high.

Good luck to them.

So you used the uptheclarets.com one rather the stokecityfc.com then :D

I’ve subscribed, paid and had email confirmation but when I log in it shows “No Subscription”

Do I need to do something else?

Is this to finance a new player? I can't see subscription being cheap if it is so all I can say is, it's been nice knowing you Tony😁.

I signed up on Friday and I'm amazed at the amount of content and the quality of the articles. Well worth the 1 dollar a month!

Very frustrating that I can’t view full articles even though subscribed.

I’ve emailed their support desk

Thanks for bringing this up. I've signed up this morning.

Well worth a quid for the level of content.

Now sorted.

Somehow, even though I had registered with one email address, which the confirmation came to, my username was another.

I'd rather not when they don't know better than to put Woods instead of Wood in the title.

I joke of course, but that is something I know annoys some on here. A bit of a amateur mistake!
