That's good then...no changes to the fixture list then.

Just means fans will need to go to the games if they want to see us.

 

Although how does this affect TV revenue for the club - is that preset at the start of the season, or do we get extra for more games shown, in which case its still heavily biased to the OF.

Has anybody got BT Sport? If so, would you recommend it. I'm thinking of changing my ISP and I understand that if you're a BT broadband subscriber, then you can access the new sports channel for free. It may sway me!

Yes it is well worth getting! Not only do you get BT Sport, you get ESPN as well and their coverage of Scottish football is much better than Sky. Id recommend it!

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

I had a hunch that it would be the Tinkerville trip that would be shown - at least as alluded to above fans will have to turn out fer games which may not be a bad thing.

Daniel I don't know who your current provider is but we've just been given our next year free with Sky so all we're going to do is sign up for the package without the internet. Its going to be saving us about £5 a month.

Tyank God they've finally decided on the TV games. Now I can go and grab my cheap train and bus tickets #Skinflint

[+DoofersDad]

Presumably they're saving us for the cup finals and other bigger games at the end of the season.

[Govan Jaggie]

Our record on tv is shocking so I am very happy.

[old caley girl]

Personally have no problem with this at all. As Govan Jaggie states we don't seem to perform well on tv and we get to keep normal kick off times. All good as far as I'm concerned.

[PaderbornCaley]

The less TV games for us the better.  Keeping as many games at 3pm on Saturday is what I want.  The Scotland v Ireland Shinty international is on the Saturday of the County game so the Friday change is convenient.  A weekend of sport and beer! ;)

 

Edit:  Actually got my dates wrong.  The home leg is the following weekend.

Beer and sport.

[12th Man]

Friday October the 25th  I think Countys season may have started by then ?

[Rival]

I'm wondering how good derbies will be now with only the seethe master? I will miss vigurs

Doesn't impact on TV revenue at all.  Money from the tv contracts for the league goes into the main pot which is then divied up based on league position.

 

The only additional TV revenue to be had is from cup games.

 

My ideal scenario would be no live domestic football...i.e. no live Scottish League/Cup games shown in Scotland.  I think that would offer a decent compromise between encouraging people to get off their butts and along to matches and generating a bit of TV income as well.
