Sky probably get higher viewing figures for Hamilton, Ross County etc v the Ugly sisters than they do for the Edinburgh Derby.

I think there was a thread about this once, or it might have been a newspaper feature, but yes any Sky game involving Celtic or Rangers easily trumps viewing figures for an Edinburgh derby no matter who they're playing.

First thoughts to this post were to say “nonsense”, but your observation is probably right.

For promotional purposes though an Edinburgh derby makes for far more attractive promotional material for their Scottish package than the likes of Hamilton/Livi v Old Firm. Makes it look like they are interested at least!

Yep, the Edinburgh Derby is more marketable than celtic away to st mirren for example and I'd say probably more chance of drawing in viewers outside of Scotland

People keep saying this about Sky. Trust me, Edinburgh derbies are not a major factor in Sky's thinking.

When people say things like “trust me” or “ no disrespect but ...” l don’t trust them and think they are being disrespectful.

Kickback quote few minutes ago - “I hope that our silence over the last week is actually an indication of strength”

Nearly spat my tea out !

They are squirming around hoping relegation isn’t confirmed then hoping Budgie somehow manages to win a legal case.

I see the EEN are following the Hearts script of talking demotion, although they do sometimes use relegation also.

However, they have claimed Hibs and Hearts will get 6 figure sums. I thought payouts were based on finishing bottom and so while Hibs will get more for finishing 7th, Hearts will get hee haw.

Are they down yet FFS? Got work I should be doing

***Heisenberg*** · 18-05-2020 11:18 AM

They are down (for now).

No mention of reconstruction in the SPFL statement.

SPFL announcement imminent - the Premiership season is over, with Celtic declared as champions and Hearts relegated

It’s official

SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan said: “Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to officially congratulate Celtic on their achievement of winning the Ladbrokes Premiership this season, and also to sincerely commiserate with Hearts on their relegation.

Officially down but I’ll keep my powder dry until reconstruction is officially a non starter.

Oh it’s cheered me up no end today, no doubt about that!

I also fail to see how any reconstruction will get the 11-1 vote needed especially as a club that would definitely vote “yes” no longer have a vote 😂.....

Just still glass half empty....

I know you mean and that’s why I’m awaiting their statement. Their silence would make me think they’ve been given “assurances” and this is all part of a greater plan which has yet to play out. I know, I’m paranoid!!

Party time for just now at least! 🥳
