The small print in a new competition being run by the Football League and members clubs for overseas supporters to win a trip to see their team play, reveals that it is a ploy to target supporters living abroad and then target them for marketing purposes.
Amongst the terms and conditions which overseas Coventry City supporters are advised to read, is the paragraph: "The data collected will be used for the purpose of this competition and, if opted into, passed to Football League Interactive and the nominated member clubs and all associated partners for marketing purposes."

The good thing is that supporters can choose to opt in or out of receiving marketing material and that those who enter the competition but have opted out, will have their information deleted after the competition ends.
So the choice is yours
