As a football fan, in in general disappointed with this. The quality do the package they offer is not great, particularly the commentary and punditry, and it is yet another service the average, law abiding footy fan has to shell out for. Or pubs that pay for the privilege to show BT as well as, or instead of, Sky.
As a City fan, I know for certain I won't be watching their coverage even if we get to the Champions League final and I can't get a ticket. I'd rather watch in Spanish than have to listen to Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes and the ilk being part of the presentation & service I had paid for. As said many, many times this this thread before, It would have been bearable if it had been fair.
Many UEFA were swung by some astounding plans BT have to improve and change their format. Or maybe money talks and it is just different hogs around the trough.

How the hell are they making the figures stack up? Bt sport must be losing a fortune each year.
They've just hiked my subscription all round.
The 6pm games thing is a joke too.
RIP the Chumpions League

This is bad for us from a business point of view
No terrestrial coverage will mean that should we reach our potential and become regular last 8/4/finalists or winners. The majority of the country won't see it.
The rags built up their brand by the oceans of terrestrial they got and still have.

There maybe some truth in this....It's all a ploy, so that once we win the chumps league nobody will know that we did cos no one will be watching it .

I ditched BT TV last year because of their appalling coverage of City. And this year I ditched their Broadband to make them suffer even more. It makes me feel smug.

We get BT as Virgin Media customers. Just phoned them up and got a tenner knocked off the monthly bill, no questions asked. Easy.

Ah well, more significant matches which won't be seen by the same audience volumes which saw the likes of Rags in '99 Dippers in' 05 and so on.
People won't even be aware of a English club winning this once prestigious tournament.
Money before prestige.
I still have my broadband with BT but refuse to subscribe to their TV package as they are rag bastards.
Wish I lived in a cabled area so I could move from BT
Go to Talk Talk, really good and much cheaper than BT. My 18month contract just expired with them but even though it's gone up it's still cheaper than BT.
