VM will commit suicide on a business sense, they won't get a deal, and its the customers that will suffer, and will move over to Sky.

Again, VM want a deal that is not going to cost anything, there office told me that they dont want a deal that will cost US extra money.

What l think VM are doing is trying to get a deal that will MAKE them money, and then pass on the any extra cost to us in the long run - like hidden price increases.

There won't be any SA either. I will just watch football on Sky and listen to Soccer Saturday with Stelling - much more entertaining.

I have been played the fool for too long by VM, I cannot believe this has happened. They must be the only company that doesn't go out of there way to attract customers to the big event.

Wow who would of imagined it a company wants to make profit.

Well its turning into one hell of a soap opera !!!
Are bt witholding ? Don't think so the getting on the cheap is rearing its wearer head again,problem is sky have said it about Atlantic,universal have said it about universal hd and now bt not outright but all comments certainly mean the same.thats 3 different companies they can't all be lying.
I have always Said it was a mistake selling there channels they lost there bargaining tool and now solely rely on channel operators supply them with channels,this is only one company but they could be the start of future events vm think they need to put them on there service for advertising and because the amount of customer subscription.trouble is that is soon sadly gonna drop and more than likely after Saturday,someone on here commented days ago that vm expected to lose some customers but currently no where near what they expected.Basically they can afford to lose a few because they have the money which they are saving from not paying espn that is total arrogance and a disgrace,Interesting times ahead and who knows there may be another turn of events before weekend but I'm starting to doubt it .The 9 year deal is slowly going down and will be up before we know it and I can seriously see the loss of sky channels again if there not carefull thankfully that is along way off at the minute,by then vm could just be a phone and broadband provider anyway

Some people very very suspiciously optimistic over BT sport launching by weekend
A lot of people pessimistic thinking it'll never happen - CHECK
A few people who given up on it all - CHECK
A decent amount of people making bomberAF jokes - CHECK

Exciting times!

3 out of 5 ain't bad

Virgin are probably holding out thinking that BT will give in and accept their poor offer due to the advertising revenue drop from not having their customers. With the amount of customers leaving VM over this, will they actually come out worse than if they had accepted a higher price earlier?

The maths are not so straightforward and the short term gains over long term gains have to be considered too. A majority of customers don't want the hassle of switching providers so stay with a provider for a long time so maybe this is something BT is hoping on.

So, looking forward to the morning to see if Drama has been added, but not holding my breath over it.
