BT win rights for champs/Europa league

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Another kick in the teeth for fans.
This was my first thought. Effectively people will be forking out around £30 a month (when you add up a SKY sports package and BT SPORT subscription) to watch PL and European football. That's too much for someone like me with a young family so I will know have to become more familiar with these streaming sites!
All you need is a decent broadband speed and you can watch any sport on thats covered by BT/Sky Sports. I deliberately bought a pc with a 23 in screen this year to watch footy/play poker and have 30mb broadband.

I go to pretty much every home game, and can stream any away game that starts at 3pm through wiziwig. The ads are a pain but once you got rid of them and go full screen its no bother. I subscribe to Sky Sports but the market is very competitive, ring them up and tell them you want to leave and they will offer you a discount. When BT sports was launched, I was given £10 per month off my bill just to retain my custom. You do have to call their bluff mind and say you want to leave.
