    Eircom League Test Alerts

    I signed up to about 5 different clubs but rarely get a text.

    Does the service still work? Why advertise that they work when they clearly don't

    I signed up to a few also, Cork and Drogs are regular users of the service, mostly to call emergency meetings though

    Rovers usually send the result of each game just after full time. None last night though.
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    I get the Galway United ones regularly to my (UK) mobile. Mainly marketing messages about the next game, though it was where I heard the news about Kenna's appointment and the Cup Draws too.

    Citys service is fairly regular to be fair.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Signed up for Limerick ones a few days ago just to see if they would work for the Dundalk match but other than a text confirming I'd registered I heard nothing else.

    Got one the other day from Drogheda. Something about a public meeting....

    Error with the system Brendy, I am awaiting an answer from the FAI.
    Tifo poles, sausage rolls and a few goals.

    Our text service was suspended for the Kildare game, though it was working (off and on) up to the previous match.
    By the sound of it so was everyone else's, except Cork and Pat's it seems.

    We only get three texts a week Reiteoir, and had to throw a wobbler to get the extra one as they initially cut us to two.

    Very poor service. We only send the line-up and full time results (in order to keep one in reserve for a big announcement), and can't even do that if there's a midweek game. We have over 500 signed up this year, but I don't think there'll be many bothered with it here next season, and none at all if it's not free again.

    FAI and the service operator set it up without spelling out the limit to those sending out texts.
