TheBluebells 6,898 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Best thing to do with this is threaten to leave and say you'll tell everyone you know to do the same, to Sky or BT.They'll try and work out deals with you to stay, fuck paying too much for Virgin, we got free boxes, free installation and internet on cheaper price for saying all this.

It's all very confusing for my tiny mind.My old Mother forks out a small fortune with virgin to see the Rangers on the telly and now thinks she'll miss most of it with the demise of espn.She keeps asking me what's happening and who's showing the most Gers games.Are BT taking over the mantle regarding Gers games?Also, i have sky. What's happening with them regards BT sports?I know, i know, my heads been buried in the sand and i'm just out from a long hospital stay. Any info will be appreciated.

Johnny Dangerously 7,562 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm with virgin. BT say that they will be showing a certain amount of premiership games that will no longerr be avaiable on sky sports. Does this mean I will see fewer premier games on the sky sports package I have with virgin than I saw last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean I will see fewer premier games on the sky sports package I have with virgin than I saw last season.think you will still get the same amount of games on sky (maybe even more) although BT Sport's deal gives them some 1st choice games, whereas last season ESPN had to wait for sky to pick their games before choosingjust means BT Sport may have a a couple of the bigger games between the top 4/6 as opposed to them always being on Skyi think......

Teamgers 1,214 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Seems that its a bit late in the day now for Virgin to get BT Sports, if a deal was being done surely it would have been announced by now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

californiadreamin52 339 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 BT Sport @BTSport 3m Thanks for all your questions about BT Sport on Virgin Media. Talks are ongoing but there's no deal yet to make the channels available Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireBear 222 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Spoke to Virgin and BT today.. singing from different hymn sheets. BT saying there are talking nothing near agreed... Virgin saying that they are talking BT down in price and are days away.Only thing they agree on is being inundated with calls from Rangers fans about it.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Virgin Media is a joke. the XL package is overpriced as it is without only having 1 sports channel, which is British Eurosport, and the best you can hope for on that is U21's or Beach Football Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 16,981 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 BT issued this statement today."Following the large number of enquiries from Virgin Media customers and press speculation, we can confirm that we have not agreed a wholesale deal for BT Sport with Virgin Media. But we are open to doing it at the right price and talks continue. In the meantime, we have an excellent offer for Virgin customers who move to either BT TV or to satellite." Matches BT will show that are announced so far;Liverpool v StokeFulham v Arsenal Man City v Hull City Man Utd v C Palace Norwich v A Villa Tottenham v Chelsea Man City v Everton Newcastle v Liverpool C Palace v Arsenal Newcastle v Chelsea Everton v Liverpool Tottenham v Man UtdAll Saturday at 12:45pm.They are showing us at home to Brechin and away to Airdrie on a Friday night next month. Not to mention they will have European football from Germany, Italy etc. Sky have more games than ever, but they will miss out on some very big games as show above!I'm with Virgin but there are only three or four games in that lot I would be bothered about.
