So far i am still safe. Even it BT Sport does come to VM remember it has to be in XL pack and at no extra cost

In my opinion I don't think BT Sport will be in XL - it will be a standalone package - still might get Sky Atlantic in XL

Just an idea!!!

If the XL line up is not satisfactory after the announcements or by a specific date then we should initially do a mass emails to some one senior in Virgin (Perhaps Mr Blot or Richard

)! to make them aware of how strong our frustration? At the very least it may fill their inbox before the IT wizards put email filters in place!

If someone could nominate a date and time, who to email and perhaps someone could draft an email for everyone to use? It needs to be witty and concise, my Gnglish is pretty poor or I would offer.
If this idea is taken up please make it after the 18th August or I will not be able participate!

An insider I know says the BT and VM management think that you eating your hat will be great publicity. As a result BT say they have decided to allow VM include BT Sports on XL at no extra cost (at least until you've finished eating your hat).

If its not in the XL pack the other alternative is for them to bundle it into the Sky Sports pack. XL customers wouldn't be happy but it would certainly make the sports bundle more attractive you would think VM will want to get one over sky if they can

They could do that.. But I still think it will offered as a standalone package

I have the XL package
I have the luck of Stan Collymore when he was transferred to Liverpool. Big money purchase, young and with the world at his feet.

What happened?

He messed it up, got into booze and shenanigans and ended up getting arrested for dogging.

So yes i would probably say my luck will lead to BT Sport being a stand alone channel. If this happens i will accept blame.

here's an idea

lets suspend this thread until something is ACTUALLY officially announced.

this thread started at the beginning of the month and we have 150 pages + of posts of absolutely NOTHING. constant will BT come or not ?will Atlantic come or not? - i am losing the will to live.

suspend the BT, Sky Sports thread as well as that has another 100 pages of nothing as well

They may put it on the VIP package hoping to attract more business

Well, I guess that's it then folks. No more speculation and banter... It was nice while it lasted I suppose.

So anyway, how's the weather where you live?

Or you just go to the change log thread and check when something changes?

if you want confirmed rumours go to search posters- search media boy and see his updates.

i enjoy speaking to these people about potential changes on virgin media. the above actions will mean you dont need to be bombarded with our conversation

best wishes,

gary neville.
