Yes l would not pay for it as a standalone although l do remember some revered posters   saying it would be a standalone package on Virgin but alas that never came true thankfully.

Agreed it is good to have but was standing firm against £15 pcm or whatever it would have been...

It will keep growing in the next few years. When they can buy rights to EPL again in 2016 expect more than 38 games from BT Sport IMO

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I actually expect Sky to fire back and reduce the Premier League games on BT sport.
EDIT@: meaning BT will be outbid for the non-Sky packages sorry for poor terminology

Quite and so therefore we will start all over again with someone else having 38 games and BT will have lost out like the others.... I may be wrong but just have an instinct that BT will have decided sport is too draining on their reserves by the next auction.

Yes you are correct as the most packages Sky can have is five of the seven.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
i cancelled my sky sports subscription some time ago on cost.
if BT sports was going to cost me £15pm i wouldn't have paid for it for the same reason.
Whether BT sports would be good value at £15pm i dont know really.
sky sport pack is £27.50pm (without sky movies)- you get 5 channels-inc F1- (2 in HD)- but the HD would cost another £7pm so really £34.50
bt sports £15.00pm -3 channels (all HD)- i suppose on the basis it might be fair though it would also be fair to say Sky content is superior to BT at the moment.
i think BT still need to add to their portfolio if they are serious about challenging Sky.
I am happy to keep my XL tv with BT included- for me that represents decent value
the bottom line is that to watch Sky and BT sports would cost you over £500 per year if you paid for both. That i think is too much.

That coincides with the end of the carriage agreement with Virgin so if bt are able to improve their Premier League rights portfolio it could well mean the end of it being free on Virgin.

The more I see it the more I like it there! Saturday will be the first full match I'll have seen on bt sport so perhaps I'll think differently afterwards.
