Quite happy with those fixtures to be honest. Opening day Halloween (my birthday) Festive. In that order 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why aren’t the games spread out more like on Friday nights or Saturday nights. If there’s no crowds what does it matter? Sky are dictating when fixtures are played and keeping 1500 Saturday games. Why aren’t we allowed to sell additional packages. Sky pay for x games a season. Why aren’t the SPFL making more packages available to Sky or BT, BBC, STV, Amazon, Netflix or anyone else. They keep going on about they’ll be the only product on show in August but are restricting the access people get to the product. Every game should be available for watching and not just through club streams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride_of_ayrshire Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Does anyone know if BBC Scotland or Alba will air live games. Much like they do with the not so big premier league sides. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like they do with the not so big premier league sides. BBC Scotland has the lower leagues. Alba has delayed. And Sky has live prem, as far as I'm aware. You will get same day Sportscene on bbc1, there's that. Saturday night, after the late news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While fans are not allowed into Rugby Park, you’ll have full access to watch all home league matches live through our virtual season pass platform, and we will ensure you still feel part of the action. With that wording the club will either need to show it or offer a free pass to watch it on Sky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they’ve paid a premium for exclusivity I suppose and it would be highly diluted if other providers then had live coverage. That would’ve needed to be done at the initial bidding process like the EPL do and sell it in various packages 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) The Court of Session(?) kicked their case out as falling to be dealt with by the SFA under the arbitration clause in the Articles of Association, right? I wonder how much that cost all the parties. The clubs' costs were met by a benefactor, weren't they? They might find themselves having to pay a fine equivalent to the SFA's costs now!

Could lead to expulsion from Scottish Football. I can see a few closed doors conversations happening now. SFA threaten to boot them out. Hearts and Thistle settle undisclosed with SPFL. And things go back to whatever is going to be considered normal going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
