CJGJ Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Id rather people found out about how the fixtures are done and not by the SPFL by the way Fixtures have been placed on certain dates for years...people need to remember that TV has a large say like it or not. Clearly TV have had a big say as they would prefer a crowd even if a smaller crowd in attendance Sorry but that is just common sense not some sort of conspiracy We have also had our say in past years re dates Of course if you don't want the money from the new TV deal then be prepared to watch a lower level of football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have thought any us Hibs or Sheep Cat A games would have been scheduled either tbh. Not looked through the fixtures so could be wrong.

Tokyo Drifter Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 6 hours ago, Ex member of the SaS said: First bigot's derby the 17 Oct. How can they honestly say the fixture list is random? The bigots requested a game when fans can attend and it looks like they got their way ( again) But it has been funny watching them gradually realise that their push to get the league started early so they can get some game time before the European competitions kick in means they're going to be out of pocket as a result.

Which if "randomly" processed by the computer could have ended behind closed doors. All clubs playing either Arse cheek will have no access to away ticket sales and hospitality packages. Come on CJGJ, you think that's fair. It's ripping the piss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk on here constantly moan about 'the pittance' that scottish football gets from TV yet the league aren't allowed to use its biggest assets from a tv viewership point of view? What difference does that date make if it's the biggest draw. Oh, you mean Sky only want it for the vile atmosphere, bigotfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on CJGJ, you think that's fair. It's ripping the piss. where are these 6000 you speak of There are only 900 or so away supports at either ground so bang goes that theory Im aware they get certain advantages but not to the extent many claim THE October match is simply common sense and if people took a step back from this fake anger they"d realise this...It would be terrible business sense by the TV company not to do so and surely you can realise this Edited July 6, 2020 by CJGJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies. Rangers cut the allocation when they started selling as many season tickets. Celtic used to get the whole Broomloan until recently. Rangers got a similar amount.

Oh, you mean Sky only want it for the vile atmosphere, bigotfest. what I mean is that by making it the last game in the first round of fixtures it stands the greatest chance of having fans at the game (may well not be fans at the game but they have given it as much of a chance as possible) which makes for a better spectacle on tv, remember the audience outside of Scotland see it as a great derby/spectacle rather than the bigotfest that it actually is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably if the Championship does begin on 17 October, and we're in it, we'll be at home on Matchday 1. Hibs are also away the following weekend. Predicted yesterday that Celtic/Rangers would be game 11. I predict tomorrow will be Tuesday. Woah! You were spot on. Weeeeeird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie wallace Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 No coincidence that Neil Lennon said a couple of weeks ago that is he hopes the game would be held back to allow fans in. Just heard briefly on the radio that the Stenhousemuir chairman arguing that it will overshadow the re-opening of the lower leagues that weekend.

bean counter Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I don't care just as long as they don't put our away game against ICT on midweek as that would cut the travelling support and my weekend away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard briefly on the radio that the Stenhousemuir chairman arguing that it will overshadow the re-opening of the lower leagues that weekend. Lets face it the media will only have one story this season, 10-iar. Anything else will be a token side show. The media will be primed to push for fans to be allowed for the greatest game in the world, regardless of whether there is a second wave or not. If the SPFL want to be fair to all clubs (I know) then the first two rounds of fixtures should be BCD meaning no club would have the advantage of a home crowd which their opponents didn't have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
