Buffs Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Mixed bag for the first six matches. Looking for 9 points from Rangers, Hearts and Celtic. Anything from the other 3 would be a bonus. [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Saints Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Motherwell at home twice midweek - that's a fair loss of income right away given they would have brought a good Saturday support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornwall_Saint Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Any idea when the tv schedules come out? Looking to do a trip for my birthday but don't want to book anything yet in case it gets shifted to Friday/Sunday (not that I see Accies v Saints being shifted!)

Extrapolating my theory (good that init?) the following may happen. That would be St. Mirren v Hearts for this season. Looking at the way the SPL started last season, Celtic v Hearts would be Celtic v Kilmarnock this season. Last season Aberdeen v Hamilton, would be Aberdeen v Livingston (Partick were second bottom) Last season Motherwell v Rangers, would be Dundee v Rangers. Last season St. Johnstone v Kilmarnock, would be Hibs v St. Johnstone. Last season Dundee v Ross County, would be Motherwell v Hamilton. Then wit do I know? I just think I'm Albert Einstein.

Eric Arthur Blair Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Any idea when the tv schedules come out? Looking to do a trip for my birthday but don't want to book anything yet in case it gets shifted to Friday/Sunday (not that I see Accies v Saints being shifted!) Each club can only have a max of 4 home games on TV (pre-split).Guaranteed that 3 of those will be against the bigot brothers leaving one which will almost certainly be later on in the season.As for away games, when we were last in the top division we went something like 3 and a half seasons without being covered.

You can't broadcast on a Saturday as Sky/BT have to show EPL games then. I'll bet they will be 12 o'clock kick-offs as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 I look at the fixtures and think this going to be tough being our first season. The other thing that pops out is just how small the premiership is it's about time it was expanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to be playing each other only once at home and once away but there doesn't seem to be an alternative that maintains interest at too and bottom in the way the current structure does. If there is then bring it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not expand the play off's to bottom four premiership clubs top four championship . That way you could expand the premiership and have meaningful games.

Split into top and bottom 7. Play these. Then bottom 4 battle top 4 in Championship for 2 places in the premiership?

LargsBud Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 I really never get this arguement of expanding the league. Bigger league means more meaningless games. It also means less leagues. So less champions. The best time ever supporting St Mirren have been the 3 years we have won the 1st Division. Im sure the fans of teams who won league 1&2 would also agree. I would never swap that for finishing 11th in a 14/16/20 team league. We should be looking at it as a positive that we have such a strong 2nd tier. Not to decimate it by lumping everyone into one big league to have an absolute diddy 2nd tier full of part time teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
