It did. We had to take it down or suffer a fine from Dataco. However their Intellectual Property claim on fixtures has been challenged and the European Court of Justice recently ruled that football fixtures don't include any intellectual property. This has to now be made into UK law,  but I don't think Dataco have a leg to stand on,  which is why we put them up there.

The club currently can grant use to one other body and this has usually been alternated between the VSC and the Supporters Club. It's the Supporters Club's turn this year.  From next year,  we expect them to be freely usable.

Hope that explains things.

It's about time this Dataco b*llocks got thrown out! Hopefully the court sees sense.
