f*** you ESPN...

[Bullitt]

They're going down from 25 to 23 fixtures, so less then 1 per round.

 

[Prestwick]

But if you have Sky & ESPN together that will give you 64 games in total. If you want to spend that money that is.

To be honest, the competition authorities in the UK and Europe are going about this completely the wrong way. If they want to have a level playing field then they should force the BBC, ITV, Sky and ESPN to co-fund a non profit company who provides the coverage and each should be allowed the right to broadcast the game but on the provisio of pay per view only. No subscription just turn up to a channel, choose the broadcaster who is offering the cheapest PPV price, pay and then watch the game.

BUT ESPN SHOW UFC!!!
It's gotta be worth the extra £200 a month.

 

[SaintDean]

I have both, for the College Football, the odd french match, ufc and thats pretty much it. This addition would be awesome for Virgin viewers because we might just get the red button.

 

[munstermuffin]

True there SaintDean Cant beat the College Football and NBA now but ESPN is growing and will rival sky eventually like lets not forget they owned by Disney so hardly short a few bob :lol:

 

[Bullitt]

Compared to Rupert Murdoch though, that's a bit like Richard Brandon deciding to take on Bill Gates!

surely it's the other way round, I wouldn't have thought NewsCorp is bigger than Disney.

 

[alexrugby]

I also dislike ESPN and it's stupid everyday program :lol:

 

[paella]

A non issue, I'll just go down my rugby club and watch in there.

 

[Nickdnz]

Thank you ESPN for giving me game I couldn't watch other wise! I'll be watching Clermont vs Osprays and Leinster vs Brive early this morning. I also have my sky so that helps, but I'd rather watch it live.
