Tommy Brown Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 From BBC website The Football Association has agreed a new six-season overseas broadcast rights deal for the FA Cup - reportedly worth ?1bn - from the 2018-19 season. Marketing agency Pitch International will cover rights for western Europe, Middle East and North Africa, with IMG covering the rest of the world. Both will then subcontract deals to broadcasters, while domestic rights will remain with the BBC and BT Sport. FA chief executive Martin Glenn said the deal was "hugely significant". The value of the overseas deal was undisclosed but Glenn said it would allow more investment in pitches, facilities and participation programmes.

Like BT saying that viewing on their app is up by 17% this season. Well I'd imagine that is based on the fact that everyone on EE has just been given a free 6 month trial of it. With a fiver a month after if you choose to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 It's surely peaked. That money for the FA cup is obscene. A trophy that was once a holy grail is now just a pesky fly for top 8 clubs. The football down there now bores me. I cancelled my sky subscription after the Liverpool v Man Utd shocker. I go to hearts games so match of the day (if there is decent games) will do me. I only have BT through my broadband so that can stay. Hopefully others will tell sky to fek off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The splits never been more obvious, and it's growing like crazy. We're not far from the super clubs going off and doing their thing for a global audience, leaving the rest behind. But the way I see it is that people will turn to their local teams again when the glitz and glamour gets boring. With or without money, the heart of football's in the Scottish league, the Swiss league, the Azerbaijani league, and it's based on normal guys excitedly getting behind their local team. We're going to see big changes in the game in the next few years, but Hearts will be just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question: do you predominantly watch Scottish football on Sky/BT, or do you also watch all the English games? If you watch mainly English games then you can hardly complain at where the money goes. I suspect a huge percentage of Scottish subscribers are very happy for their money to fund English football because that is what they really want to watch.

The point is of course he can complain, scottish football is restricted by rules put in place to benefit the epl, like no 3pm games on TV (I'm not aware of that rule existing anywhere else), but without a share of the reward.

Elshin Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The bit that annoys me is they start showing Scottish football on a Friday night, it works so they start showing English football during this time slot. We need a weekly dedicated weekly TV slot where we are not up against the EPL. That won't happen so we will never get a fair go at showing our games. Even the last old firm game was shown same time at Manchester derby, they just don't care about us. The only good thing over the past 10 years is most Scottish clubs are in a financially good state, TV money around 2000 almost killed our game.

The answer is to cancel the SKY subscription if it really bothers you. I cancelled mine years ago as I didn't see why my family budget should be used to pay the likes of Rooney and the rest a fortune.

BT gives Scottish football a much fairer deal than SKY gives imo I have been a BT customer for years long before broadband started. For a fiver a month I get Scottish and English plus European football . Its a good deal AFAIC. I know people who are paying about ?70/80 a month for subscription TV utter madness. Its not really subscription TV that bothers me when it comes to an unfair split of TV football revenue though. Its the BBC they get license fee money from all over the UK so they have a duty to treat all countries in the UK fairly imo they fail miserably in that.
