When people sneeze near me, the reaction is more along the lines of... "Hoi, use a hankie, blow your nose for fucksake, go to the toilet and do that..."

Fucking Hell. If I was on a plane now, I'd crash it deliberately.

No wonder it's lying down, it's been run over.

I don't disagree that they're idiots but who would pay more than is paid by the existing tv companies. The perception they have always had is Scottish football is a schedule filler, when there's nothing else on.

By the time Hampden has been paid for, there would be no money for the clubs.

I hope he got minced in the outboard.

Did you wash it first when it was new?

Aye, the walk actually takes two days because of the number of chapels they pass. It's a feat of endurance in that heat.

League 1 and 2 aren't on that much, although Wrexham have attracted a bit of interest. Stockport is a great story, championship level to non-league and part time before going back up the divisions again, Tranmere, not dissimilar. I'm far more interested in English lower division football, more so since 2012 when I decided I would never have anything concerning Rangers and Celtic on my telly. (I watch the NI games as well, mainly because I've been to a couple. South of the border, I don't see as much, but watch for Bohemians results.

At least he's free to concentrate on the league now.

Fair enough. We all know this is just opinion and personal wish lists, but that would be a seriously hard sell. You're, effectively, ending those team's season weeks early. That's before you consider the wasteland the lower divisions will become.

What about the third group?

A lot of content on subscription telly is filler. Revenue also comes from adverts, there needs to be a programme on to carry adverts. Hence the reason there's Australian football in the morning, American soccer late at night. Where do you think Championship games might end up on the schedule? The same people complaining about lack of coverage would be howling about games being played on Thursday night's etc. There's also the cost. The SPFL don't recognise the tv coverage as a promotional tool to generate interest, they see it simply as a revenue source.

There's an element on this forum who will argue that black is white when English football is mentioned. The interest in Scotland has existed as long as I remember and I expect long before that. Probably right back to when Scots first started signing for English clubs. It's very easy to understand given the size of the countries, that the standard is generally better. We can't dictate what people are interested in.
