Been a long term lurker on here and decided to add my two cents about bt sports. I think if we get it, it will be part of the xl package or vip or even if you have xl with ss as surely its too late for vm to add it as a stand alone charged channel unless we're gonna get it late.
Virgin would have to advertise it and there would be too many people in the know by this point.
If it does arrive as part of xl etc, only the negotiations team and the top brass would need to know until its announced so as to avoid leaks.
It wouldn't make any sense for vm to agree to a seperate charge for the channel this late when they have already potentially lost those desperate and willing to pay for it to their rivals as everyone else waiting, including me, are hoping its included in xl or only willing to accept a smallish increase in the package cost.
I clearly dont have any insider info and im probably just hoping for the best!
Anyway cheers to all the contributers on here that have kept me in the know over the past few years
