Any chance someone could post them here as a list?

On Thursday 14th June the fixtures for the 2007/08 football season were published. However most fan run websites will not be displaying them....
Football DataCo Ltd is a British company that grants licenses to third parties allowing them to reproduce certain intellectual property such as fixture lists and statistics. Football DataCo is wholly owned by FA Premier League and The Football League.
Fans have 3 options.....
1) Become the clubs nominated fanzine and get a licence for the fixtures for £1+VAT and a delivery charge to your site £104+ VAT, delivery via email!
A total of £123
2) Get authorisation from the club to use their fixtures in isolation. This would be £266+VAT plus delivery charge
A total of £435
3) Without authorisation from the club you must buy fixtures for all clubs - this is £4244+VAT for the licence and £5200+VAT for delivery
A total of nearly £12,000
The fees are charged to all 3rd parties including independently owned football fan sites and fanzines. Numerous fan sites have been closed as a result of legal action initiated by Football DataCo Ltd.

Bastards. They are trying to fleece us for everything!!! 5200 pounds for delivery VIA EMAIL!!!! That is daylight/highway robbery. I agree with this website, something needs to be done.

Special thanks goes out to Loosecranks for bringing this to my attention.

WTF?

is this a free country or not?

Stuff like this.... I don't know how they get it passed as legal I really don't.

Dylan I knew about that, in fact, the FA have contacted me before over it. (years ago). It's nothing to worry about, if they find the site, they ask to take them down... thats it.

I asked for the list to edit anyway

What a stupid bloody rule. Some people have way too much time on their hands. Robbing gits

 

[Rob]

What kind of profit would fan sites and magazines possible make from a damn fixture list anyway....

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Exactly Rob. They just ask non-profit fansites to remove fixture lists.

Has anyone asked for a legitimate reason?

It seems so obsurd that anyone could actually "own" a fixtures list...
