Frequently
Asked Questions
What
is this service?
This service enables you to register to receive
emails for certain sports events. For soccer,
when goals are scored, at half time and at full
time you will receive an email with the current
score.
Why
would I want this?
Spend too much time out and about on
a match day wondering what the scores are?. Keep
up to date with both your own team and other teams
that affect your teams position.
Going
to a game? Just log in and make a note of other
teams scores you want to keep up with whilst you're
at the game.
What
addresses can I use?
Currently
just email addresses. You can use multiple addresses.
Each one will need to be validated. When you initially
register for the service, the email address you
use may then be used to receive scores.
You
may add additional addresses using the option
"Add an email address". These addresses
must be validated. An email is sent to the address
you enter and you must reply to this email. The
subject line must be included in the reply. Once
you have replied the new email address will be
available to send scores to.
Where
do the results come from?
Good question.
Why
do I miss some results?
You may miss goals. Two goals in quick
succession might mean you get a single email for
them both.
Some
of the feeds this site uses are not always available
and there may be occasional times when results
are not received.
Do
you sell email addresses?
No. Nor do we provide them to any other entity.
What
is the cost?
The service is currently free. However
we are not responsible for any charges that other
providers or operators may charge. You are. For
example if you pay to receive emails to your mobile
phone.
What
about SMS?
Coming soon. If you know of an inexpensive
(or free) SMS gateway let us know.
Are
other emails sent to my email address?
You
may receive emails at the address you used to
sign up for the service. These will only relate
to information about this service and this will
be infrequent. No emails will be sent to other
addresses that you subsequently add.
How
often are emails sent?
Generally
within a couple of minutes.
