Sense of occasion. Only time we played them this season at Easter Road. No TV. 20,000 on Tuesday night.
If it had been a run of the mill derby 5th time we had played them this season re scheduled for 1.30 on Sunday on Sky Sports we would have struggled to get 14,000.
6000 lost fans x £20 average = £120000. No idea how much TV money we would get but I bet not that. Further worse atmosphere and buzz.
Bottom line lets get back to a bigger league playing each other just once and second lets stop all these televised matches for peanuts.
