Interesting - Fox Cricket + has a live Super Smash game at 4pm AEDT (6pm NZDT), but that day’s SS game is at 2pm AEDT…

(edit: I cocked up the timing, 4 rather then 6pm AEDT)
Weird - I wondered if it was a change in schedule but has always been down for 2pm AEDT.
New Zealand Cricket don’t officially “sanction” the Black Clash.
Wouldnt put it past Fox to have incorrect guide info
It doesn’t even get a serious commentary team to do it, so it’s certainly strange that their broadcast partner carries it.
Not really. It’s not meant to be serious. It’s a fun night out and fun game to watch. But NZC doesn’t play a role in it or release players to play.
$15 is pretty cheap still against Kayo who is at $30?? now??
That’s on top of the $10, $16, or $21 for the base subscription, depending on which tier you have.
It was already $15 when I resubscribed last month.
Meh, when you give me ad free coverage of every court of the slams, I’ll pay the $15. Worth it for me.
50% price increase with zero additional content isnt a good look. They didnt even bother being sneaky and put it up $2 now, due to “increased operating costs” and the rest in six months.
Maybe they knew people like me arent going to cancel just as the rugby season is starting
It’s good value as I have Rugby and Grand Slam Tennis on one platform
Isn’t the grand slam coverage already like this?
Yeah, thats why i’m happy paying the 15
Terrible value as I only want it for European Soccer, Champions League and Europa League.
I was finding it hard to justify with the level of content on Stan Sports that was of interest to me - this will probably see me ditch it.
Stan’s four sporting cornerstones are Rugby, Tennis, Motorsport and Football, all with passionate but slightly niche audiences.
Feel like Stan is missing a trick by not offering Sports on their own e.g.
$5-6 p/m for Rugby
$5-6 p/m for Tennis
$5-6 p/m for Motorsport
$5-6 p/m for Football
or $15 p/m for the lot as it is now.
Also think they should offer standalone sport with a smaller extra fee, say Basic for $5, Standard for $11 and Premium for $16 (on top of the $15) or something similar.
