Average Sky subscription is around £50/month or £600/year. If they make £398m, that works out at 664,000 subscribers. That probably sounds about right.Quote:

Thread over on Samaritans.com says Brown has come charging in with the cavalry with this - http://www.football365.com/spl/78626...ite-flag-Brown. The natives are creaming themselves over it and to a man want Brown to lead them into Division3. We're kind of singing from the same hymn book aren't we.
Plus advertising revenue, business packages (pubs etc). It could comfortably be that figure. It's a lot of money. And the Scottish Football gets comparatively little, it seems.Quote:

Thing is you don't get what's fair in life you get what you negiotate. With idiots like Doncaster running our game it should hardly be a surprise that we get a paltry amount from sky.Quote:

His apology was preceded by the statement that they had nothing to apologise for. Hardly counts, does it?

So far, I think he may have been the only honest man in this whole sorry episode.
For anyone doing the math it may help to know Sky's ARPU was £544 in 2011 and from my time working there (which hasn't been since 2008) Sky Sports uptake was lower per capita than in England.
Not too sure about that. Can any of those knuckle draggers actually count to three?Quote:

I can get more money by having Rangers in division 3 for a season provided I can get 1,700 of them into the visitors' area for each of their 2 visits. Most can do that (and Queen's Park have a real opportunity to cash in). Disregarding sporting integrity for the moment it seems a very low offer to ward off the financial armageddon that Doncaster and Regan foresee. If the SPL ups it to £5 million it might be worth considering. A small price to save the national game.
:thumbsup: Does it for me, to be fair there seem to be quite a few making the right noises or at least they seem more straightforward than some of the SPL guys appear to be. Think that your idea would be a very visible protest as all the other colours would stand out nicely if the TV cameras got interested!Quote:

We get what our game is worth - which is very little. If it hadn't been a rigged market for the bigot sisters for so long it might have become a more competitive and interesting league. Then we would get better money.Quote:

Do you know why the journalists are so big on finding a berth for Club 12? Why they get so irate about Scotland managers under performing? Every early European exit, every failure to qualify for the Euros or World Cup, every reduction in Scottish places in european competition as the quotient falls means one thing. Less gravy train visits abroad to watch the footie and pi5h it up on the expenses and from other people's wallets. They see Club 12's readmission as one of their two golden tickets to europe every season and they believe - probably rightly - that without them, at least for the short to medium term, there will be less jaunts abroad. They have no long term interest in the good of the game whatever.
The ONLY people with an honest interest in the future of our game are the paying fans.
Ludicrous, the spl and its clubs should get no say after voting them out and shouldn't be blackmailing the SFL teams. Scottish football is so corrupt its unreal.Quote:

Yes. And this is why Doncaster et al are desperate to make sure Green does not walk away. It would be interesting to see what would happen if the Huns said no to the SPL/SFL plan and insisted on applying for SFL Division 3. :cbQuote:

And are still trying to..
Did any teams go bust when Setanta went bust?
Teams which get relegated lose the tv cash and not just rangers supporters gate money,every SPL teams away support.
I'm disgusted
If Sevco(who aren't even a football team) cheat their way into the SPL2 then Scottish football will die.
Unless we have another breakaway league
Scottish sporting integrity league division one
Yes we have a common aim for them to go into Div.3, but our motives and long term plans couldn't be different. We want them in Div.3, partially as a punishment for their sins but more importantly, to pave the way for a fairer and more democratic SPL. They want Div.3 in order to avoid the suffocating sanctions which they would incur in the SPL and possibly to a lesser degree in Div.1 but more importantly, they have been brainwashed into thinking that, without them, the SPL will meet it's maker before next season is finished. I think they'll be disappointed.Quote:

Lawwell's statement
Peter Lawwell, chief executive: “We are fully aware of our supporters’ concerns regarding the current situation across Scottish football and the breadth of opinion within our supporter base. The issues are complex and there is much uncertainty.
“Our guiding principle is that we will do what is in the best interests of Celtic Football Club and our supporters, consistent with upholding the interests and reputation of Scottish football. I can also give assurance that we will communicate further and directly with supporters at the appropriate time
