heard this from my mate that BT sports is coming to virgin for£12 a month he did not if it would be in the XL or VIP package

Re: heard this from my mate
 

I'd imagine your mate is correct.

Re: heard this from my mate
 

I phoned virgin and the guy spoke to said that Thay are still in talks with BT about putting BT sports in the XL package that would be great as I have sky sports so lots more football for me

Re: heard this from my mate
 

Yeah, its not going to be on XL.

Re: heard this from my mate
 

The positivity is strong in this one.

Re: heard this from my mate
 

Beautiful thing is no one knows for sure. Yes it's probably not going to go in XL as BT seem skyesque in their *******ly ways but whilst no one knows for sure we shouldn't say it as fact.

Re: heard this from my mate
 

don't forget espn charged sky customers separate aswell, while we had it in xl so i wouldn't rule it out just yet

Re: heard this from my mate
 

The only difference to previous years is that BT have got a far better deal with the premier league than any of the previous companies ever had with their first pick weekends. Lets be honest, ESPN/Setanta picked up the dregs most weeks.

I think it will be a stand alone sub but we will have to wait and see I guess

Re: heard this from my mate
 

It's probably gonna be a standalone package like BoxNation

ESPN wasn't a telecoms company.

Re: heard this from my mate
 

Not arguing with your point but ESPN is not in the past even in this country.... :-)

Re: heard this from my mate
 

Phoned virgin today the guy said they have got the channels is up to virgin to disced to put them in the XL package I said to him they should do that as more people will take the package or put in the VIP package and more people would go for the VIP package as it is a great package having BT sports in that package would make it abetter deal

I should work for virgin media

Re: heard this from my mate
 

Wrong, it's not up to virgin what package they put them in, if BT say we want it standalone, then it's standalone.

Re: heard this from my mate
 

Wrong, Virgin pay however much BT are asking and then decide on how to price or package it, they could put it in M+ but that would be stupid cause they would make a massive loss

Re: heard this from my mate
 

If BT say they want it standalone, VM have to offer it standalone.
