It will be for the two companies to reach a mutually acceptable arrangement agreeable to both parties.

I'd imagine the £12 for SD, £15 for HD, is what we'll see, same as Sky.
Maybe the question for VM is whether they can subsidise it themselves and include it in TV XL (and whether BT would be happy with that). I wouldn't have thought the cost to VM would be that high if it was done, say, as an introductory three month offer and it may prove a sufficient lure to retain or attract casual footie fans who don't want the full Sky Sports extravaganza

ok well I would like BT sports got sky sports HD1 HD2 3 and 4 so if remove sky sports 3 and 4 take BT sports in HD so got BT sports in HD and sky sports HD 1 and HD 2 how would that go as I have the VIP package

freakgirl · 18-07-2013, 15:38

andrew.shearman · 18-07-2013, 15:52

Just go to the pub to watch the matches you want to see and save a bit of money

andrew.shearman · 18-07-2013, 16:03

no like to watch the games in own home

Doug P · 20-07-2013, 08:52

Very doubtful that going to the pub to watch games saves money at all. Good fun and all that, but not cheap.

Yeah some idiot on facebook was telling me to do that, when I complained about this BT Sport deal making it more expensive for the customer. Got to get up with a hangover, showered, bus or train, and 3 or 4 pints that's about £20+ per game. x38 gamesyou're looking at over £800 for a year of Premier League football if you want to watch every game, which I do.

Don't get me wrong, I love a nice or pint or four down the pub, however you don't need to drink beer, you can have a coke. It is cheaper and wont give you a hangover. I'd prefer a pint though

Soft drink certainly aren't cheap and drinking them all night may give you a headache as well as rotting your teeth away
