NJ2 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Ah fair enough. It does seem a lot but do they play many away games on Saturday 3pm currently?No, I think they’ve only played at half 12 on Saturdays so far. Rangers are due to play Livi away on Sat 26th at 3pm but suppose that could get moved to 12.30 or Sunday as well. It’ll be pish if essentially every week is just the Rangers or Celtic away game though, seriously can’t see that being the case feasible or not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TV games just haven’t been announced yet. Rangers and Celtic away games almost always being moved from 3pm on a Saturday for TV is in itself nothing new and hasn’t been new for many years. The reduction in games from 60 to 48 will mean less ‘others’, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, but I still hope the plan for the tv deal isn’t just the live game (most weeks) being Rangers/Celtic away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subsequently no Celtic or Rangers games will be on a Saturday at 3pm. Seems legit... From what I can find Celtic haven't played an away game in the league at 3pm on a Saturday since the 9th of March 2013. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be. I'm not sure why this should come as a surprise. It's been a long time since Celtic played away at 3pm on a Saturday; different for Sevco because quite a few of their away games in the lower leagues weren't shown on TV.

Savage Henry Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Jesus, that’s surely not right?!And it disrupts other clubs just as much. County went nearly three months without a home game on Saturday at 3pm. I guess it will remain a problem as long as the league is opposed to broadcasting Saturday 3pm games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Aren’t sky able to show one or two of the old firm home games on tv (ignoring their derbies) which are shown after the split? If so that would further reduce the meagre amount of the diddies only matches that sky clearly don't give a f**k about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually spot on as far as I can see: Livingston (1st October 2005), Ross County (9th March 2012), Motherwell (29th September 2012), and Hibernian (29th December 2012). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundesliga Boy Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Might be worth noting that Chris McLaughlin has tweeted that the £160 Million is the combined amount of the Sky/BBC/Premier Sports deal. He further states that Sky's deal amounts to around £26M per season - therefore Sky are giving around the £130M mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Heliums Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 12 minutes ago, Sergeant Wilson said: Good, fùck them. It's fans of other clubs who suffer, not Celtic supporters. Or put it this way – I'd be pretty chuffed if all St Johnstone's home matches kicked off at 3pm and all our away matches were on TV. One of the reasons I gave up my season ticket a year back was because I couldn't make the rescheduled home games. The lack of regularity of home games I'm sure puts people out of the habit of going to games – as well significantly affecting gate revenue for the clubs. Believe me, if these TV arrangements weren't to the benefit of the Old Firm and their fans, the TV arrangements would change. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderdomb Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Really hope it's not just old firm away games shown on TV, I think the title race (if we can have a few more in the years to come) should force Sky to show other games although the harsh reality is most only want to see those games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I will not watch either cheek on the TV by choice - I'll even fast-forward their highlights on Sportscene. The TV offering was far better when the tribute act were dodging seagull sh!te down in League 2. I'll be cancelling BT Sport at the end of next season as they'll give me nothing that interests me. Really unsure about re-subbing to Sky Sports though. Their Old Firm obsession, Old Firm guests, pundits and a chunt of a lead commentator.
