Saturday Football

[Localfitbafan]

The next Saturday game for Aberdeen fans will either be a Scottish Cup 4th Round game on the 29th of Nov or the home League game against Hamilton on the 6th of Dec.

 

We are about to start a run of Friday, Sunday or Monday night games

 

Hamilton Away Friday 17th Oct

Motherwell Home Friday the 24th Oct

Hamilton Home (Cup) Wed 29th Oct

Ross County Away Monday the 3rd Nov

Celtic Home Sunday the 9th Nov

15th Nov no game due to International friendlies

Partick Away Sunday 23rd Nov

 

possible Scottish Cup Tie on Saturday 29th Nov (unless moved for TV)

Hamilton Home Saturday the 6th Dec

 

Must be a sign of the times that Aberdeen are seen as one of the better teams for the TV companies to broadcast in the SPFL

If we could win all five matches between the October international break and the November international break it would be a phenomenal start to the season overall (despite our stuttering start).

 

If we could go undefeated it would be a pretty damn good start.

Perfect opportunity to go watch some Scottish Lower League action.

Ffs. I didn't realise that the next games were Friday nights. Struggling for both now because of this.

_{Is it not around £90,000 per game a team gets for televised games as well? Decent earner for the Dons this.}

Enjoy it while it lasts.

 

It'll be nothing but Celtic and the rangers next season.

I doubt Celtic will go down.

I`m fairly used to no home game on a saturday .

 

Would like to make it up for a Friday night Dons home game some time .

TV games for December aren't out yet and with first two being against Hamilton and utd the run of TV games could easy be extended

That is the case for cup games. However I think for the league TV deal the amount you get is based purely on where you finish in the league. So a team finishing 4th would get the same money if they were on TV 8 times in a season or 20 times in a season.

 

The fact that Hibs refused to let BT Sport show their game against Killie last season because their quota of home games to be shown on TV had been exceed would seem to show that is the case.

 

This is (apparently) how the cash is currently divided - http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/celtic/214554-financial-distribution-model-for-scottish-league-reconstruction-revealed/

Locos v Cove for me on Saturday. Corporate day.

May very well head out to this too.

Excellent, another chance to repeat 'MAD FRIDAY' on several occasions

[tommo1903]

Tannadice on a Friday night would be special.

 

Police would probably not allow it.
