Virgin Media Sofa Stadium online experience
Just saw this video, it's an online experience thing where you can vote along with your avatar about the match you're watching... I can't really explain it, you'll have to watch the video.

Fancy a bit of big match banter?
If you enjoy watching Premier League football games on TV, and love getting involved, Virgin Media needs you!
We're looking for football fans to test our new online app, Sofa Stadium. Using Sofa Stadium is just like having loads of mates watching the match with you. You can chat live online to other fans, vote for the man of the match and have your say about who's playing a blinder or having a total shocker.

Re: Virgin Media Sofa Stadium online experience
Its certainly an interesting take on football viewing and interaction, personall I tend to watch football while on the PC/Laptop at the weekend so in theory it should be something that appeals to me... but alas.
I tried the service during the opening game of the prem season, Man City/Spurs and it was quite underwhelming. I like what they are trying to achieve with this service but I feel it just fails to deliver. The biggest problem at the moment is the lack of users, after 60 minutes of the opening game there was 25 people taking part and the lack of any conversation made the chat area quite eery!
Over tiem I think this could amture into something quite special, but for now its a flash in the pan and may vanish altogether before the end of the season if lack of interest prevails.
Any one else had a chance to use this?

Freely available to anyone with an internet connection, Sofa Stadium helps fans enjoy the atmosphere of match day without obstructed views, overpriced car parking, cold weather and dodgy grub. With Sofa Stadium, fans can rant, rave and banter with fellow followers as the game unfolds; vote for the best player, and the worst; be heard at the click of a button by booing, cheering or singing, as if they were on the terraces.

Re: Virgin Media Sofa Stadium online experience
It really is poor. A grand total of 3 users on at the moment.
