RandomGuy. Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm not talking about just highlights. I'm talking 2/3 live games per week. A proper highlights show. Other shows that cover everything you could ever think of in terms of Scottish football. Historic matches. Basically an all rounder. We have a hardcore following of just over 250,000 fans that go to games every second week plus who knows how many lapsed fans/ casual fans. I reckon 250,000 is a realistic target for subs Where's this 250,000 coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It more than likely will be split so the diddies get a couple of grand each and the **** and **** get most of it. I think it's 12 mil from Sky and 8 from BT each company, it comes to £20.25m altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 An idea with SPFL TV is that you can add matched from leagues that don't get covered here as a filler, aka Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Austria and Poland which would give any new TV channel some more substance (with the numbers of Poles in the UK, I would imagine getting Elkstalasa matches would be a decent sized market) 11 minutes ago, Booker-T said: 250,000 paying how much each and how often.... i think 250,000 is stretching it.... Say £10/month, or £7.99 a month if you're a ST holder at a SPFL club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'd swap my Netflix for Scottish Fitba Telly. Some programmes which could be used as filler - Coisty's Calamity: a fun filled hour of own goals and gaffes presented by everyone's favourite jovial ex-Rangers manager. Get Fit with John Collins: instructional Pilates and yoga with the shirtless Adonis. Motivational talks during the warm-down. Bazza's Kitchen: Barry Ferguson doing cookery classes, cooking favourites such as the Monster Munch sandwich and the Chips 'n' Red Sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 13 hours ago, Marr1 said: The Belgium League gets £50.1m per season, from next year the Norweigien Eliteserien gets £39m per season, the SPFL should be looking for a figure North of £40m per season or should tell the TV companies to f**k off and launch SPFL.TV instead These countries have pretty much every game televised across the weekend, which means they're selling a lot more games than we currently do. If folk are willing to sacrifice their 3pm on a Saturday obsession then we would be able to get more money, but I feel as though most fans would be strongly against selling out that tradition.

Sergeant Wilson Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hi, here about a new deal, Rangers are back. Still shite mate, you're behind the Dutch and whatever passes for football in America. Will you kick off at 4 in the morning for the expat market? Deal!

10menwent2mow Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 SPFL tv is highly unlikely, very much putting all your eggs in an unknown basket. Say you get 250,000 which I think is very far fetched, and it's shite. Soon you've only got 100,000 and you are making less than you were with someone like Sky/BT. I'm thinking set-up costs would be pretty enormous as well. I think this is a reason why SKY don't do an EPL channel. I've said for years that if you could get Sky sports for £10 a month cheaper without the EPL and only the EPL a heap of folk would jump at it. That's surely what a huge chunk of a sky sports sub goes towards, give me everything else (golf, tennis, all other fitba, NFL, cricket, rugby) and poke the EPL, make it cheaper. Win. But they are selling the whole package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Thistle are utterly shite in front of the cameras* so I'd happily let other clubs get the lion's share of televised games *admittedly most of our televised games are against Celtic and Aberdeen.

Mark Connolly Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 14 hours ago, sergie's no1 fan said: Can add on Under 20/Reserve games too. Even dedicate the channel to a different club one day a week, showing historic matches, player profiles, ex-player interviews ect so it's an incentive to get as many fans from across the divisions to sign up as possible. European qualifiiers for all the teams as well, so you don't have to work out which dodgy stream you have to watch or, even worse, subscribe to Premier Sports. A potential Scottish football service could have League, league cup, scottish cup, irn-bru cup, European club qualifiers, Scotland friendlies, age-grade internationals, the equivalent for the women, and that's before you go into anything like magazine-type shows or anything like that. Some of these could be exclusive, others could be shared, with delayed transmission of a sky/bt game on the sub service. There are a whole host of ways you could build the deal, but while you have someone leading the negotiations who thinks that only Celtic and Rangers are worth showing, we won't get anything better than we have at the moment.

We're not just talking about one man who feel this way though. It is chairmen of the clubs too. Look at the collective dummies being spat out at the fixtures when certain clubs were getting one less home game against one of the two. It requires a collective change in mindset across the board. If you were to move away from Sky/BT then it may be possible as you're no longer relying on the interest generated from down South (Sky certainly are OF focused because they think some in England may watch that). Totally agree with your first two paragraphs, would be so refreshing to see all of those games covered. I'm very sceptical that sufficient demand or willingness from investors will be there to make it happen though unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
