Their website also showed they've snapped up the rights to show the Republic of Ireland's remaining Euro 2012 qualifiers plus plenty other qualifying fixtures from across Europe. Since then their website has returned to normal, with no sign of these sports being mentioned anywhere.
I wonder if Premier Sports is going to launch on Virgin and confirm various new content deals for rugby and football in an attempt to attract new customers?
Did anyone else visit their site during the "construction period"? I was trying to see if Virgin was mentioned on the site but I couldn't see them anywhere.
Just been trawling through the Premier Sports Facebook page. It seems the rumour is an announcement about Premier Sports launching on Virgin will be made on the 05th August 2011 with the channel launching on the 10th, just in time for the first live Blue Square Premiership game of the season. SKY customers are livid at the suggestion this might arrive on the XL package. We will just have to wait and see.

The problem with Premier Sports being added to XL is it dwindles the 24.50 XL money even further which seems a bit unfair to none sports fans , considering ESPN is already included.
