Dave_Og Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I was hoping that the change from BT might bring an option to pay for one-offs (guess what...) as I really don't need another monthly subscription, particularly as their coverage includes plenty of Rugby Union, Moto GP, UFC & Boxing (I've left off WWE as that ain't no sport!)- none of which hold the slightest appeal for me. Seems like a missed opportunity to offer something different to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a missed opportunity to offer something different to me. I totally agree. I went for the BT Sports subscription option at the start of last season, but I won't be renewing it for the reason you state. When Latics are on TV I'll just find a pub showing it (could be tricky, but not impossible, down here in Failsworth). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are also on YouTube, apparently it was part of the deal when BT "won" the rights to show European competitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a limit. Regardless of affordability I'm not paying more than a ground ticket to watch a single game on the tellybox. My nearest pub with BT is at least 8 or 9 miles away - I'm a bit in the middle of nowhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay extra for RacingUK on top of Sky, so that's my indulgence. One more subscription is a step too far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
