See I don't know whether this is a wind up or not. If not, fair play to them for getting more money and for BT to stick one up to Sky


The bit that most interested me about this story (if true) was that BT Sports were looking to sponsor all four of the Welsh regions. This would be brilliant news, especially for us Dragons fans - not only the extra revenue but at last a decent sponsor !

Is this a copy of the Old Trafford being called the Nike Stadium one?

See I thought it WAS a wind up but the journalist swears not on twitter AND its gone midday.

Will be interesting if true, don't BT Sports already sponsor a Rabbo team ? Can't remember if its Embra or Glasgea

It's both Scottish teams, as shirt sponsors, and BT (not Sport) are shirt sponsors for Ulster. Dunno what that means in terms of dosh for the teams, but it may or may not be coincidence that Sky declined to televise two of Glasgow's HC pool games this season.

You'll also see BT Sport emblazoned on the chests of Wales' 7's players.

Richard Holland doing more excellent work. He really is one of the best things about the Blues right now.

Nope, not yet. It would be odd for them to still have it and other stories surrounding it on their website if it was a prank mind.

Depends who's prank it is. If it's the 'paper' it would be a bit weird carrying it on so long.

But if it was a 'source'...
