Our coverage is basically for Old Firm fans to watch away games. So to the neutral get to see one of them, usually comfortably beat a smaller team in a half empty stadium while pundits talk about nothing but the Old Firm.
It’s not how you package a product to a wider audience.

I personally would rather watch a Scottish game than an EPL game. A lot of my mates are the same.

There’s not much we can do about Sky but the BBC facilitates this agenda too. Unless we can package and promote the other clubs as well and make the league more even, nothing will change and that’s exactly how the SFA/SPFL want it to be. Everything is done to facilitate the continuation of the cartel to the detriment of everything else.

I do accept that I'm in a tiny minority though and your point about there not being an adequate market for our game abroad is impossible to argue with at the moment

If you look at a typical week and add the Celtic/Rangers home supporters with the Celtic/Rangers away supporters that week, it would be more than the rest of the attendances across all the leagues in the country put together.
The game is knackered up here and we are so far behind. Unfortunately there is no apetite from those running the game because the status quo suits the 2 Glasgow clubs. I'd like to see a 20 team league, ideally we'd have 2 teams regularly in the CL group stages and a batch of 4 or 5 different teams regularly in the Europa/Conference group stages to get money flowing through the game here. Chances of it happening? 0.

Absolutely atrocious. It was the same last year with Rangers and Dundee United losing 7-0. How Scotland is still 10th in the UEFA coefficient is beyond me. Can only assume it still has a lot to do with Rangers making the Europa League final.

The top four co- efficient leagues shouldn't be involved in the Conference

Our performances in Europe are reflected by what clubs can spend due to TV revenue. Brentford signing players for £40m shows how the Sky money has corrupted the marketplace. Making the league bigger will reduce the share each club gets. A fairer distribution of cash is splitting the gate revenue of every game. That way all clubs would be equal but it's never going to happen. Scottish football is well-watched but the % of population stat does not paint a true picture. The old firm is miles in front then Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts. The rest barely register. There is no easy solution to Scottish football problems, but we are doing a lot better than Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic. But the English Premiership is huge and the Championship is the third best-attended league in Europe. The only thing that might change the EPL position is the Saudi League buying up all the best players.
Europe is a great adventure, playing different teams but sadly no Scottish team, including the Old Firm is going to do much in the next few years. Our best hope is we finish third and get to the group stages of the conference league. But we are never going to compete with a club like Villa, especially with the TV money they receive.

Netherlands £90m (£170m from 2025)
Greece £58m
Sweden £40m
Scotland £25m (£30m from 2025)
Think about the year on year cumulative effect. BBC Scotland are a vasel offshoot of BBC England who have no interest in Scottish football.
Very good article about how PAOK refused a poor TV deal a few years ago and went alone with their own streaming and subsequently got a much better deal a few years later (they still control their overseas rights). The deal Scottish clubs are getting is poor and, given the issues we have with Hibs TV, we could do worse than getting a teach in from PAOK about how to do it.Last edited by Is It On....; 02-09-2023 at 10:42 AM.

The figures should be closer between the two countries, but they'll always be significantly higher.
How does a country of a similar size and league standard compare to Scotland, say Croatia?Last edited by Since90+2; 02-09-2023 at 11:07 AM.

TV Deal - £55m
Which ever way you assess it, £25m (30m from next year) for Scottish football is a great deal for the broadcasters and a terrible deal for the Scottish game.
