Media Guardian report shows VM pretty chipper!!

Virgin Media already offers all Sky's sport channels, so following the BT deal has positioned itself as the "only place sports fans can enjoy every goal, try, penalty and heart-stopping sporting moment".

"Virgin Media homes are kicking-off the new season with the most complete sporting lineup around in one simple subscription, from Barclays Premier League football and Aviva Premiership rugby to F1, live golf and the culmination of a great Ashes series," said the Virgin Media chief operating officer, Dana Strong.

I did doubt a part of what you said, but if you look at my posts, you will see that I've been quite positive about the BT Sport launch on Virgin. All the signs from the more credible sources have been pointing in that direction.

The main doubt for me was whether it would be on the XL pack. That was quite a coup for VM!

Thanks for the intel, anyway Bomber, you came through in the end!

I was really really confident the moment someone posted that Reuters were reporting a deal.

Thoroughly reliable source and so that was when I thought we'd get the channels!

Well done Howardmicks, who hinted that he knew the facts (turned out he did)

Well done Virgin, best ever, excellent

Now the deal has been signed can people now admit what they knew and what they didnt know about the deal i.e when they found out, how it was done etc

i admit i knew nothing

You know what they say it comes to he who waits. A big well done to Virginmedia for getting a great deal for its sport loving customers.
Congratulations to Bomber af who called it all along.

Got a few messages from investment companies saying it may be worth taking a punt on LGI as their view was that VM/LGI were pushing to get BT sports into XL. Obviously they have no more insider knowledge than anyone else but they do tend to be right on many occasions.

I really didn't think in a million years we would get it on XL.

Virgin have played a blinder here, you have to say

Sorry couldn't credit you as couldn't find the post, but that was the one that convinced me they would come and it was just a question of when.

Fail to see how this has anything to do with Bomber, he said BT & Atlantic would be here 10 days ago.

Saying BT would come wasn't exactly a out of this world prediction, it was reasonably likely.

BomberAF still has to prove us right on the Atlantic part though...
