S-Clarke Posted 8 June, 2016 Share Posted 8 June, 2016 That's a pretty big deal to be honest, i think someone hinted to this a while back - it has some USA origins as VM are now owned by Liberty Global. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 8 June, 2016 Share Posted 8 June, 2016 Big brand, albeit rep for poor customer service. But all that matters is the dough on offer so if its a good financial deal then great. Now off for a nice Chang beer in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, watching the video it looks like the did the advert work on the pitch oust the youth tournament that was there last weekend (hence the small pitches on the pitch). I expect they wanted to release at the weekend but with all the **** at the moment delayed but a day or two. Pretty amazin it didn't leak out properly after they sprayed the ****ing pitch!

Saint Without a Halo Posted 8 June, 2016 Share Posted 8 June, 2016 Just add "the" so it becomes The Virgin StMarys Stadium and it it could then double up as the City's Cathedral too and stop those Scousers going on about how many cathedrals they have compared to Soton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver Saint Posted 8 June, 2016 Share Posted 8 June, 2016 I like the international profile and what he says about Virgin 'doing things differently'...perhaps that means staying long-term as a high profile sponsor. No coincidence about the timing. Think everyone outside of SFC and Everton are bored with the RK saga - and their announcement will be washed over by the start of the Euros.

Lighthouse Posted 8 June, 2016 Share Posted 8 June, 2016 I gives more chance of looking good, so long as it doesn't mean a giant white stuck on panel to make their red writing show up. Can't be any worse than the kit we had under Poortaloo and Wotte. Looked like the logo was stuck on with pritt-stick by primary school kids. Wonder how many pompey fans are changing their broadband and tv packages as we speak. They have the internet in Pompey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, I often am, but I don't think Virgin Media run any trains or operate an airline. It was once part of the Virgin Group of companies but was sold and according to Wikipedia is owned by an American, British-based company, Liberty Global, which is one of the largest Broadband Internet Service providers in the World. Definitely no smelly trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted 8 June, 2016 Share Posted 8 June, 2016 How is a uk based company selling, Internet and phone services just in the UK a "proper international company"? "Virgin Media has accepted a $23.3bn (£15bn) takeover by American cable tycoon John Malone's Liberty Global in a deal that threatens to topple Rupert Murdoch's dominance of pay television by creating Europe's largest broadband business.The new company will have its headquarters in the UK, and serve 25 million customers in 14 countries including Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands."
