Salvo Montalbano Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Prize money up 17% in total allegedly, clubs able to stream 1st round matches. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5994485/betfred-cup-prize-fund-up-pay-per-view/It mentions that games can't be shown live on pay-per-view if they are on Premier, but will that include games that were to be included for season ticket holders? I know Dunfermline said that season ticket holders would get in to the BetFred Cup group stage games if there were crowds allowed but would be able to stream them instead. I don't really want to go through the hassle of sorting out a Premier Sports sub just to watch the Falkirk game. How does it work in the Premiership? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it work in the Premiership?In the Premiership your virtual season ticket is still valid for games live on Sky, but clubs can't sell PPV. That's part of an agreement with Sky, no idea if there will be a similar one with Premier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't be playing the cup without fans. League games are one thing but just think we could do without the secondary cup this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negotiating a Sky-style deal for the relatively few exceptions probably wasn't worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a team going into the final fixtures knowing a 4-0 win gets them through but they end up with a default 3-0 instead. Edit: although if that does happen please let it be to Hearts.

PauloPerth Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 A varied quarter-final draw shaping up. So far, St Johnstone are the only established top tier team to make it through, where they'll be joined by yo yo clubs St Mirren, Livingston and Hibs with championship heroes Alloa and Dunfermline making up the six teams through. It would be great if Falkirk and Ross County could get through tomorrow, though seems very unlikely. If not, a rangers v céltic quarter-final would be in everyone's best interests. Quarter Final line up Alloa Athletic Dunfermline Athletic Hibernian Livingston St Johnstone st mirren Celtic or Ross County Falkirk or Rangers Ties to be played the week of Tuesday 15th, Wednesday 16th, Thursday17th December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Would be superb if at least one of the cheeks could get knocked out later. Or draw each other if they both get through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be the Saintees year though (well 2021). Seems that it is starting to click for Davidson. Definitely don't want to draw StJohnstone, got a feeling we will though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, just avoiding either half of the OF is all that matters to me after the number of times we've drawn Celtic in the cups the past few years. That's why though there's much easier ties than an away trip to Motherwell in the last round, it was bearable. Ideally Falkirk or County make us all delighted with a shock today, but it's probably more likely to be a case of hoping the OF draw each other in the quarters; they must be due a meeting at an earlier stage as its been a while. Think we'd all be hoping for Dunfermline or Alloa at home, but then when you think about it, if they're not going to draw each other, would you rather play Celtic/ rangers in December at home behind closed doors, or at Hampden in January or February with the possibility of some supporters back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The potential of a cup win is looking extremely plausible for a diddy side this season. Regardless of the Celtic v Ross County result, I expect that everyone has the right to feel positive about their chances of reaching Hampden and I expect most would feel satisfied as long as they avoid Rangers in the draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look unstoppable just now. If Falkirk manage to win today it would be a very exciting free for all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
