| 21. Author: jake89 Date: Fri 25th Oct 2024. 22:19 There are currently 42 clubs in the SPFL. This makes refactoring the leagues a pain. Split it 22/20 and the 22 team league is playing 42 games per season rather than 38 or 36 as it currently is. Split it 16, 16, 10 and the two 16 leagues are only playing each other 30 times. This would need a "split" like there currently is, which adds 7 extra games meaning a total of 37 games in the 16 leagues and 36 in the 10 team league (still playing 4x). I`d argue a 16 team Premiership and Championship would work. It would make derby matches an even bigger draw. The problem is TV money. The Glasgow duo will be near sell out every weekend so there`s a big draw from the fans who can`t get into Celtic Park or Ibrox. That`s money in the pockets of TV companies. Would a Pars V Falkirk game get the same attention on TV? Unlikely. So we`re screwed. It`s not about what`s best for the game and what will work in the long run, it`s what makes money in the short term for our biggest clubs. Wouldn`t it be great if all those TV streams like ParsTV were available to people in the UK for £20pm? Obviously you`d likely just watch your own team but offer the lot and see what happens. It could be good for a lot of fans who can`t get along each week or letting younger kids watch and hopefully getting the football bug. Probably all pie in the sky unfortunately. Reply |

Only they can change things. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |

The merchandising sides of these clubs is massive because of this, I have a street full of them out here, I will have to ask them for directions to the stadiums! Reply |

This is why I think they should have all the games on TV. Get young people engaged and hopefully give them some encouragement to come along. Reply |
| 25. Author: Jeffery Date: Sat 26th Oct 2024. 12:06 Celtic and Rangers are on TV a lot but they are usually only on TV at home if it`s against each other. Every other televised game is away. So you see lots of televised Ross County, Livi, Aberdeen, etc v Celtic but not the reverse fixture. Keeping those home games 3pm on a Saturday probably helps keep their home support high. One rule for one.. Reply |
