Italian Serie A fans of Singapore -
More Info at:
We, fans of the Italian Serie A in Singapore, are appalled at StarHubs lack of interest in negotiating fervently for coverage of the Italian Serie A on Super Sports.
According to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS http://www.iffhs.de/), the Italian Serie A ranks as the 3rd Strongest National League of the World 2004, just behind Spains La Liga and the English Premier League.
Furthermore, IFFHS Club World Rankings (for the period of 1 September 2004 to 30 August 2005) rank Italys own FC Internazionale Milano and Milan AC as the 1st and 3rd best clubs in the world respectively.
StarHub claims that we need to maximise our resources by purchasing programmes that will appeal to and satisfy the needs of our range of customers as well as ensure that we cater to the needs and desires of all our customers, and continue to provide great breadth and depth of sports programming.
It is clear that this great breadth and depth will never be reached, and the range of customers not satisfied if StarHub is unable to provide coverage of the Italian Serie A clearly a league with a superbly high standing on the world stage. Also, it is neither fair and nor wise of StarHub to assume football fans are all alike and will be easily pleased with just any type of football being broadcast on their channels.
While less popular leagues such as the Dutch Casino Eredivisie, French Ligue 1 and even Scottish Premier League are being broadcast on selected opt-in channels, we fans of the Italian Serie A should not be deprived of our brand of football especially since we are willing to pay for it and are open to subscribing to opt-in channels, an option provided to fans of the Dutch, French and Scottish leagues.
Therefore, we strongly urge StarHub to press on in their negotiations for broadcast rights of the Italian Serie A until a suitable agreement can be reached, and call for the highest standards of football on our television stations once again.

- I really feel that SCV should bring back Serie A, because that is the place where the most beautiful skills + tough defending r displayed. Soccer fans should really get a taste of how the players in the 3 major European leagues play instead of only focusing on EPL

- It is blasphemous that StarHub Cable TV is not showing Italian Serie A for the 05/06 season. From the streets and online forums I've been too, there are more Serie A fans than La Liga fans but why do they show the latter instead and not the former? ESPN StarSports Asia should also stop wanking to Exagerrated Players League and give more coverage to Serie A & La Liga too. I have been very satisfied by StarHub's coverage and I sincerely hope & wish that they wouldn't disappoint the Serie A fans this season. After all, it's better late than never. If StarHub can acquires the rights to show Wales - England at the last minute, I'm sure they can conjure up a similar deal to show Serie A too. C'mon StarHub! PS: Don Salvatore Fresco, we need your assistance!

- Give the people of Singapore Serie A coverage, what could possibly be worse than a channel that claims to want to show the best sports but decides to air the SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE instead of the worldclass Italian Serie A championsip?
