HMFC-1874 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 So with the games being closed games for the foreseeable, are Hearts still restricted to only allowing Audio to UK fans ? Another stupid rule in the first place of many by the SPFL.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tartofmidlothian Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 What's the deal, can't we show games live on Hearts TV? Or do we have to wait until our turn on Sky or BT comes round? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HMFC-1874 Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 My understanding of it is this, due to the tv licencing deals with SKY,BT, BBC and other services. Hearts are only allowed to show live video to people outside the UK, offering only Audio to UK subscribers per agreement in the TV licencing deal. Regardless if we are on of the channels or not at that given time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BCD games can surely be shown on Hearts TV for UK subscribers if the top flight teams can do the same. Otherwise more prejudice. Edited August 1, 2020 by kila Quote Link to post Share on other sites

davemclaren Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 The big risk is if enough championship clubs can actually start the season if there are still no crowds by then. I’m not convinced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got so confused about all that stuff to do with JA's £50k to each club for community issues. I'm sure I heard on the radio that testing was a community issue because it would allow clubs to play and bring football back to the fans? Ok, no fans in the grounds but at least the fans had their team back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kiwidoug Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I know from the NZ experience that eliminating community transmission is the key to everything. The govt here didn't open everything up until there had been zero community transmission for a month or so. Scotland may reach that happy state by mid October. I hope so but if not, I can't see non restricted crowds being allowed. Would love to see Hearts fund a friendly training type tournament in Edinburgh with ICT, Partick, Cove and Stranraer.

The big difference here Doug is that we have 4 separate countries in the Union and while there is supposed to be 'joined up' thinking, there has been significant divergence between ourselves and England. we can stamp on community transmission, and we've done a reasonable good job if this to be honest, but there is still a significant number of people coming up from England for holiday breaks and they are now having very significant flare ups down south that they could bring North. Your country has been brilliant at controlling this but you have 1 central Government that, in the main, people trust to look after them during this crisis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NZ also has the advantage of no land borders. I'm sure I recall a small outbreak traced to UK visitors who never followed quarantine rules after arrival. We have much of the North of England going back into lockdown and while SG advice is to not travel south, they don't have the powers to stop anyone or indeed to prevent visitors from those areas.
