Interesting 8 to 10 were in Championship and 4 with us.
It shows 3 things 1. People want to watch a completive league. The Premiership is dull as Celtic have won at already. Again the Championship will be the most interesting campaign and where the viewing is. 2) The viewing figures are pretty small and astonishingly so in the SPL. The brand is worth little outside Scotland 3) There needs to be action on making the league more competitive. There is limited appeal if there is limited competition. Somehow Celtic (and in time The Rangers) need constrained.

I take it this does not include games on the BBC ie Celtic v the Rangers.
Shows nobody really wants to watch Scottish football.

Either they have better negotiators than Doncastor or Playing in summer helps with TV money.

Interesting that at start of season 327,000 watched Huns n Herts, but by the January game that had reduced to 265,000. Seems that over 60,000 Huns had given up on their team. Similarly the Hibs n Huns game in December had 239,000 but only 182,000 in February. Over 50,000 missing. They don't do walking away right enough!

Not much interest in the sheep fiddlers despite being their best season in decades.

The figures show that Scottish football is really centred on Edinburgh, not the west's provincial towns. The top seven games all had one or both of the capital's teams playing.

Stats from English Premiership:
PL-TV-13-14-grid.jpg
Clearly bigger figures than those cited for Scotland but, relatively speaking, I would say we compare pretty well. Or am I missing something?
1.5m for Chelsea v Man City compared to 240,000 for Rangers v Hibs. Think about the size of those English clubs, what they are competing for, the players they can attract, the mountains of cash they get from Sky, the population disparity, the amount of effort and money that is put into the TV production etc - should we not be wondering why the English Premiership gets around 100x more £ but doesn't get more than around 6x the audience of a second tier 'mickey mouse' league for such a match?
I'm repeating myself but if you consider the way in which we in this country and others talk down our game and what it has been through, I'd say our audiences don't compare too badly. Realistically, how many people do we expect to be watching when everyone goes on about how bad everything is in Scottish football?
Maybe I've got my maths wrong...
NB. I appreciate the figures will be inflated somewhat by the number of long-distance Rangers fans but we are still undersold regardless. I would argue that 178,000 for Hibs v Hearts isn't bad either, considering the circumstances (Championship, fan disillusionment, playing each other 4 times a season etc).Last edited by patlowe; 23-06-2015 at 09:16 AM.

...but still more accurate than the radio audience figures right enough.

Would have thought the derby would have been on the list more than once to be honest.

It jjust goes to show how bored people have become with the premiership, I didn't watch a single game from the top flight last season. If those figures aren't a wake up call to the people(no pun intended) running our game then I don't know what is.
United we stand here....
