Well remember Prem Plus was a few years ago so the price with inflation now would be around Â£100 a season.

I'm actually quite upbeat about this result , BT will make their games available on all platforms , a PPV basis would suit me and could end up saving me money as I now pay ESPN Â£9.00 a month.

Or switch to BT...and get SKY sports

Got to be tempting...but wait and see.

it has put me off going back to Virgin..as having ESPN free was always an attraction

And how do you not know that BT and Virgin might do the same type of deal as it would be in both their interests.

I agree BT's product can only improve however they currently don't offer sport in HD so I'll stick with Sky for the time being , ESPN free on VM was always a pulling factor for me but this deal looks to have jeopardised that.

Its not in BT's interest to give VM a discount on the BT football. BT own a platform they want you to swtich from virgin to their platform, they hope this football they have will make you want to do that.
