Scottish Fitba Tv Rights

[Poodler]

£99 a year. Mental.

Lol fa's paying that.

[Henry]

Hopefully Premier are just picking up the games Sky used to show. Which was whoever Celtic and Sevco were playing. Arsed watching that.

 

Suppose it depends who gets first pick.

 

Regardless, there's going to be some ropey matches shown

[RAZOR]

Lol fa's paying that.

You know some will.

[aberdeen1970]

99 pounds a year to watch Scottish Cup football when your team might get knocked out in the first game and that game might not even be a televised one.

 

Can't see it catching on.

[1903Fitba]

£99 a year. Mental.

Again anybody with a brain can stream all of the fixtures they want for less than that a year.

 

 

Farcical.

[The Brocher]

First thing to do is stop the ugly sisters only being shown live when they're away from home. That just fecks everybody up bar them. Affects everybody's home gates but keeps their season ticket sales up

[Red Ram]

Given Premier Sports had to do with Rangers TV and Celtic TV can see they're really after East Fife v Peterhead coverage. Pretty sure owner of Premier also owned Setanta Sports so hopefully they pay the full contract

[BWG]

Paying for TV. Megalolz.

[Guest findlay_1903]

Does this come into action January 19?

[redone]

Seems a good development overall...

 

More Scottish Cup games will be televised as part of a new deal with the Scottish FA.

In a six-year agreement with IMG, who will market the competition globally, BBC Scotland will screen additional games and Premier Sports makes its domestic debut in Scotland.

BBC will screen games from rounds one to three of the competition, starting from next season, which will mean Highland League, Lowland League and junior clubs now have an increased chance of being shown on television.

Premier Sports has already televised Champions League and Europa League matches involving Scottish clubs and from round four onwards, each broadcaster will screen two games each. One semi-final will be shown exclusively on Premier Sports, with the other semi-final and final screened across both channels.

SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell is enthused by the potential of the deal.

He said: “The William Hill Scottish Cup is a tournament that is steeped in history. In it, the clubs and players have created countless unforgettable memories and this deal will ensure that more action than ever before will be broadcast live to the nation.

“It will also drive significant revenue back to all the clubs who participate in the competition, ensuring ongoing investment into the game. We look forward to working with Premier Sports and the BBC to help us continue to tell the stories and cover the action of our top knockout competition.”

When they talk about “screening” games , do they mean live coverage ?

[NEM]

Pay attention ya thick cunt.  It's the going rate for countries that are similar to Scotland for domestic fitba that's relevant.

 

 

Its less than some of the Scandinavian leagues so shut your hole you gimp

[BrianFaePerth]

The deals in Scandinavia will be renewed at lower levels.

 

Norwegian attendances are down despite the league being its most competitive in years. Problem is, all the teams are mediocre.

 

There are more viewers towards the end of the season as the weather closes in and people decide to sit on their arses at home, even if they've paid for a ticket.

 

Every game in the Norwegian league is televised. Every team plays in the "main game" on a Sunday evening at least once a season. Usually against one of the bigger teams.

 

The problem is, the yoof and adults for that matter can watch Man U or Barca every week too as part of their subscription. Kids grow up knowing all about Messi but can't even tell you the striker for their local team.

How much less ?

 

And which Scandinavian countries are you speaking about ?

[King Street Loon]

You know some will.

Just either go to the game or pub to watch it.

It's getting like that in Scotland too!  When I was at School, all the kids supported Scottish teams... different times now.

[RUL]

I don't think it's much different. If anything in Aberdeen there has been an increase in local support. Even 30 years ago folk had English teams.

Not knowing who their striker is? Is this like a trick question?

[Parklife]

Yeah loads of arsehole parents about allowing their kids to "support" foreign teams. Tell the wee dude they're getting a Dons top, not a Barca one and he's to like it of lump it.

[BrianFaePerth]

Absolutely.

 

The sooner the kid learns that real football means showing up in the pissing rain and cold to watch your team disappoint you, the better.

 

It's makes the seldom moments of glory all the sweeter.

[RAZOR]

Just either go to the game or pub to watch it.

Or save the money and illegally stream.

Anybody that has an English team needs a slap. See it all the time on Twitter.

 

‘Aberdeen and Man Utd’

 

Part of the problem.

If anything you see more Aberdeen strips than 5 or 10 years ago.

[RUL]

Yeah, crikey 20 years ago it had got so bad the huns had put a shop in union Street.

[RAZOR]

No they didn't.

They threatened to, it never materialised

This is where football is worrying nowadays.

 

I think in Scottish schools we should encourage bullying of any kids wearing non local football tops. Anyone supporting the likes of Man City should be particularly ridiculed and battered. By the teachers.

You are right, but I reckon that is what UEFA and the TV companies want - a much smaller cadre of top european teams, heavily supported internationally by armchair fans willing to pay sports channel subscriptions.

 

Meanwhile, locally, actual game attendance for these teams will increasingly become the preserve of the wealthy and the corporate fan.

[pocrawred]

Im of an age but where ever you can buy an erse cheek top pick one up and go to the changing room and wipe your arse on the front collar bit. Or your fud if you have one!!

[aberdeen1970]

And that is where the term 'shop soiled' came from!

[cruzcampo3]

Sports shops seemed to be a disappearing trend on the high street!

 

I remember going into Intersport in Bonacord Center mid 90s and them selling Airdrie and Falkirk tops among others.

 

Go in to a sport shop now and it’s all your foreign teams and top 5 EPL teams and the Glasgow mobs.

 

Are the club missing a trick seeking our tops exclusively at the a Club Shop? Shouldn’t we have something similar to what we had a Bridge Street. You are more likely get more people in town browsing round go enter the Aberdeen shop than down the beach unless you are planing to be going there anyway.
