Hopefully none apart from away games where our tickets are limited

[nellio]

Not a lot I would imagine. Dont know what the deal is witt BT as they have shown a fair few championship games this year.

[green&left]

None hopefully.

Outwith playing the huns and hertz I think our only other televised league match was Livingston 17.30 on BBC Alba.

[O'Rourke3]

Appart from bt or sky the feed looks as though it's ours. With no category of hun in the league no open all mics either so no buscuits either - there's always a silver lining if you look hard

[Keith_M]

Hopefully a lot less coverage, therefore


1) Majority of games on Saturday at 3pm

2) Games not moved at the last minute (thereby ruining some people's plans to attend)

3) No option of just sitting in the Pub instead of actually going.

Wasn't the deal negotiated with BT for two years? Would be daft for the league to just sell rights for a year when they can tack on extra years knowing the TV folk really want that first year so will commit to more.

[CallumLaidlaw]

We had 2 Livingston games on tv, outwith Hearts/Rangers.

BT may show us v Motherwell/St Mirren at a push. Alba may show a couple of games v Falkirk/QoS.

Alba still have the rights to show quite a few games and I'd guess we'll feature more in them this year

Indeed, with no rangers or hearts in the league we will feature in a lot of their game IMO.
Is the BT deal not just scottish football in general in that they can pick whatever fixture they want each week from any of the divisions? They picked some games from the first division because it was us, hearts and rangers playing each other. Doubt they'll be picking anymore next season. Come to think of it, did BT show any of our games that weren't against rangers or hearts? I can't remember.

Do they? Thought the BBC deal was coming to an end?

In the Alloa chairmans recent comments about BBC, he mentioned this -

‘There is one more season left on our current deal with the BBC and we’re determined that any new deal far better reflects the importance of the game in Scotland and the hundreds of millions the corporation receives from Scottish licence fee payers every year.’

[Diclonius]

Hibs v Motherwell?

Looks like we'll be on Alba a few times then. Think both the Livvi away games and the Rangers petrofac cup, were the only games we were on Alba this season, unless someone can remember the others?
