Truly appalling! I received no notice of a subscription renewal and suddenly £59.99 has been taken out of my account. I cancelled immediately and contacted them, only to be told (by an automated system) there are no refunds! Absolutely disgraceful to take money without warning. Steer clear and do not sign up for anything to do with this site. Edit: I have since had my money refunded, which I appreciate, but renewal reminders should be sent out!

If I could give a score of zero I would. Terrible service. Similar to a number of others had the free trial which was never used. Tried to cancel but charged £59.99 and refuse to refund. All I can say is stay well away.

Never ever subscribe to this. I never used the free trial of logged in. Then 12 month's later they took £60 from me. Emailed them BEFORE the £60 was taken from my account and hold I had no account as I kept getting marketing emails. The STILL TOOK the money eventhough I didn't have an account. Completely shocking. If anyone has a contact number for them I would appreciate it as the eMail correspondence is awful. Total disgrace of a company. Since writing this review I have now had a refund.

Absolute disgrace of a company. Complete scammers. Took a free trial out which I never used. Fast forward 12 months and they have taken £60 from me. No refund policy, absolute low lives.

The Athletic UK edition started off specifically specializing long form football articles and was producing some very interesting content. But these days it mainly copies and pastes 2-300,word press association releases.

Stay away from site! Even if you cancel your subscription they will charge your credit card and then tell you they don’t give refunds. If you cancel I would suggest removing all credit cards and bank accounts from your account profile. Update; After posting this review and sharing it with the Atheltic, they have fully reimbursed my credit card.

The best football site, bar none. For all those talking about auto renewals, that’s what you signed up for. Little hint, put a note in your diary/ outlook and take some responsibility for your life. You’ll find that cancelling before the auto renew will reveal an offer for £12 a year.

Do not take out a subscription to The Athletic: they send no reminder emails and it's almost impossible to cancel your subscription. They keep taking money out of your account and there is no-one to talk to. Absolutely terrible company that you should avoid giving your bank details to.
