Sounds very much like he meant a player had been signed.

Anyone get the text?  And yeah, does it cost?

I'm listening.  And would these special offers be available to out-of-towners?

I think it's a great service - I appreciate the opportunity to hear news first and it reinforces the value the club places on core supporters.

Come on guys, really. 20c is the normal cost of a text in NZ, so it's no different than texting your mates/missus/whoever.

Would it come under one of the 500 texts you get with telecom if you're on prepaid?  If that's the case it's sweet, but having to put an extra $10 on the phone for the sake of a couple of texts would be a pain in the posterior.

Unlikely to be a free text.  Such services cost money.

We did something similar here at Fever until it fell on its @rse.  We paid though so you got it for nothing.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

I think its more the facy that if your on prepaid you top up $10 each month. and you can text as much as you want. But once you spend even 20c u havta top up again. and it is a hassle.

Good incentive though

The money goes to the club, who can use it to help pay for things like marquee players.
 
The attitude of 'I want quality from the club but are not prepared to pay them 20 cents' is pretty crap.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite

Haha I do agree. But I understand how it's not ideal for people on ten$ txt or prepaid just because it's unexpected.

I would love to see our 20c go to a marquee haha
The club could txt bomb us with 100 a to get 20 bux off us haha

Jeez I can't understand why anyone is complaining. Don't subscribe if you've got issues with it, I'd rather have the option than not have it at all!
