Hi Afroman

That's something altogether different you're suggesting there so let me clarify that.

Anyone who receives paid for emails like the Sydney FC email has ticked a box saying they are happy to receive special offers and promotions from selected partners.

This is by law an opt-in check box which is clearly listed here http://au.fourfourtwo.com/register.aspx

We have a similar opt in when you enter competitions, surveys etc

We DO NOT spam our newsletter list.

Our newsletter list is several thousand more than our promotional email list.

So please be clear this is an opt-in list. And if you really don't want to receive them any more you can just as easily opt out.

However, over the course of the last 4 years we've also used this list to promote competitions to win tickets to Australia - Brazil at Germany 06 via a credit card company, a 10 day trip to the Asian Cup from Qantas, any number of pairs of boots and gear from adidas, Puma, Nike etc etc

Totally your call if you want to remain on this list.

Cheers

Andy

I appreciate this, but at the same time, I'm sure you want your website to be user friendly. This is not represented when users are receiving emails from the same email address that sends them the weekly newsletter and other things that we might actually not regard as spam. It's taking advantage of the users good faith that their email isn't going to be exploited for advertising purposes under the guise of a 'newsletter' and while advertising in said newsletter is one thing, users shouldn't be faced with the choice of either getting spam emails that are irrelevant to them, or the website's newsletter.

It's all well and good to say "well, just delete it". But should they really have to?

I think you are going about it the wrong way.

They shouldn't show SFC or anything about them, just promote it as Kashmia :lol:

if victory could win a game or two they would have sell out crowds

I snorted and hit delete.

It's really not that hard to do. I mean, it's difficult to do with the style and grace of someone like me, but I'm sure you can put your own spin on it.

Bitches Cut Down ;)

Hi All

I appreciate non-Sydney FC fans might not like getting these ads from Sydney but can I implore you take a slightly bigger picture view of it. They are paying for them and this web site only exists as long as people are willing to pay to advertise on it.

So if it's not to your liking may I ask you just hit the delete button and at least appreciate that Sydney FC are the one club investing marketing dollars with us thereby keeping this web site free and in existence.

Thanks

Andy

I got it too, and I'm not even Australian, but it doesn't really bother me.

hey not even mv fans wanna go to the acl games.. correction i mean the real hardcore fans do like myself but the rest are meh

Correction: Sydney FC games

Yeah, I mean, it's not my city, FourFourTwo. Get with the program. Not even Sydney FC fans want to go to ACL games ;)

thank god i didnt get that .

Stop spamming my inbox with Sydney FC propaganda. Thank you.
