    As has been said earlier, these post split matches are scheduled largely down to "expected position" based on last years top league finishes.

    As such, Killie and ourselves didnt have a top 6 finish, and therefore our fixtures will be skewed.

    Which is why the ugly sisters will have an even number of visits to each other, and Hibs/Killie will have to suck it up and visit Ibrox (for example) once again.

    So, its not designed to help Sevco, its a stupid design flaw, and shows the split up for the mess it always has been.
    Which is effectively the OF, Hearts and Dons being "seeded". Not a term that used freely within the SPFL, but that's what it amounts to.

    You're correct about the 1st part but the seedings don't continue to apply once we're into the season. ( There's nothing to say they do. ), The case can equally be made, & forcibly I hope by Hibs, that performances should count now & in that case,if the 6 remain the same, then it should be the 5th & 6th teams, or possibly only the 6th team that should be disadvantaged. Given that Sevco could possibly be in direct opposition to any 2 from the top 4 for a European spot, then I think SPFL will go for the 5th & 6th spot solution. In fact I suspect Killie may already know this hence their objections.

    At the start of the season I would have been happy to be in the position of having to have a discussion about the top six games. Other than Aberdeen, we have nothing to fear from playing anyone away from home .

    Except the TV companies and smaller clubs for whom 3 and potentially 4 home games against the OF are financially vital sadly.
    Correct.

    We had our chance to shake up the system when the zombies went bust. And suddenly the veto went.

    Nothing changed.

    The rangers have had the massive advantage of playing the other top 5 teams twice at home and it could be argued that they woukd not be in that position if they hadn't. They should now be made to play all these teams away, it's only fair. You also have to consider the money, Hibs missing out on a full house st ER.

    This is true but then Rangers would end up playing 17 at home and 21 away Which wouldn’t be fair either. And while we’d be missing out on a sell out crowd Rangers would also be missing out on either 2 or three sell out crowds of their own through no fault of their own.

    An idea would be leaving it as it is but maybe the league compensating the team who are missing out on valuable revenue or even a requirement that revenue earned through a 3rd home game has to be split the same as it would if it was a cup or something.

    Just an an idea and probably one with holes but while we operate with a split there’s always going to be someone who suffers in this way
