Day Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Sky has closed Rivals.net, its online football community, blaming its poor commercial performance. The media giant shut the network of fan sites for all 92 football clubs, including Manchester United’s United We Stand and Everton’s When Skies Are Grey, without prior warning to members. Visitors to any of the sites are met with the message ‘Rivals.net is currently unavailable’.

vicky-27 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 From what i've seen it was pretty out of date anyway, you would of thought they would of given some sort of warning first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 DET will never closed down, they've spent to much feckin money on it to just close it down. Despite all it's problems people still drift back over there as well. Just need to get some decent staff on the forum and stamp out the bitchiness over grammer and spelling.

Perky1106 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yeah after making 2,600 posts (hard effort) and becoming 'World Class' I locked myself out of my account by changing my password to a load of numbers I won't remember. Here's better run and there's less bitchiness. Discussion is all taken in good humour and not too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 I did that as well, tried to get it back but Daz wanted me to verify my details which I couldn't do as I messed my email address up into some fake gibberish, obviously I couldn't and never heard back from him.
