Who's running this shambolic promotion?
Personally, I don't get a hard on for promotions but I joined this for a bit of fun and it's a complete joke. people not receiving tokens etc. Game weeks and results not being posted, errors in team points etc. Get your fingers out Sky. The only thing worse ththan pissy promotions are badly ran pissy promotions.

Morning Dave,
That's not only a little harsh, it's needlessly rude. (imo).
Maybe there have been some problems, but it's the real world, & things don't always go smoothly.
If you have any specific complaints, please speak to customer Care. That's what I'd Advocaat anyway.
Good luck on Sunday - it don't get easier than home to Spurs.
Cowhead is a good bloke, & a mate, & I'm sure he'll be fine with it.
There's a backstory, too - he's a Sunderland fan, & I've had a bet they will be relegated this season.
And yes, there have been some issues, he's right. The course of true promos never ran smooth, according to Lysander, who is one of Shakespeare's characters.
I agree also that it hasn't been ran as clean as the previous premier promo,
i.e. I think the teams should of been changed every week to give every one who takes part a chance at winning something, because as its structured at the moment if you have been allocated a team full of people who only get a few points a week you don't really have a chance of winning anything from promo (but as im in such a team my motives may be a little biased) btw I only get around 1k-1.5k points a week myself so I don't really contribute a whole lot of the points myself, But maybe the next one will fall in my favour so hey ho on to the next

If they run it again, I'm sure they'll take all the feedback on board. And yes, I'm told it has not run as smoothly as everyone would have liked.
They keep coming up with these different promos, but they do take some running by the backroom boys.
So you are a Sunderland fan, too? Tough times.
I had a box (for Business purposes) at Stadium of Light when it first opened, as I had business interests in the area, & I rather enjoyed it there.
I actually have better memories of Roker Park though, & the famous "Roker roar". The old stands were roofed & walled with corrugated iron, & so the noise reverberated. Incred atmo.
as for the sol I used to go in the exec lounge paid for by subcontractors (not as bribes obv) but only during the Christmas period do I take up this option now as there is nothing like match day and being among what I class as the real supporters,
and sigh bludreid
also sorry for hijacking thread cowhead

No need to apologise mate, & yes, we ALL get frustrated with Sky Poker at times, on both sides of the table. It's the nature of things when we all care so much, to get frustrated when things don't go as well as hoped. And they don't always.
But here's the thing, and as we are mates, & I know I don't have to tread on eggshells when I talk to you.
Players feel they can be as rude as they like to Sky Poker, but Sky Poker cannot ever respond in kind. It's just not done. You'd not mind, I know that, but most would be up in arms with mock outrage. "OMG OMG OMG, THEY WERE RUDE TO ME!!!!!"
That feels unjust, & wrong, to me, that it is so one-sided. It's like having a fight with a guy who has his arms tied behind his back, & then punching him below the belt. It's just wrong. IMO, of course.
It's the same with Customer Care staff, they get endlessly mocked as being dumb & stupid (they are not) & they can read these comments, but they are not allowed to respond or reply. How fair is that?
Sunderland? I feel your pain, I really do. Still, there's always a silver lining - did you see Newcastle on Monday, v West Ham? Terrible, abso terrible. They have problems there too, believe me. Which must help a bit, right?
Run well Dave.
