BuddieinEK Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 So even season ticket holders can’t watch this on saints tv? I find this odd, in the ‘normal’ world, you couldn’t stop people attending the game as it’s on Sky. A bit shite. IPTV it is.... Any home game should be available to Saints fans.

And it most certainly open to ST holders who have already paid to see it. The club are stealing money from us if we can't get to see the game.

I can't think of too many other businesses which seem to be run to deliberately reduce income streams. If they are not restricting income by doing what you've described, they are over-pricing the product. Either way, they seem incapable of seeing the big picture. Sigh..................... did you think Sky get the game fort free? The SPFL announced on Monday it had agreed a five-year deal, worth £160million, with the broadcasting giant from 2020.

I'm not a fan of Oakie but he is measuring the amount of money involved. If you recall, Setanta paid ridiculous, and ultimately, unsustainable amounts of money to Scottish football for the rights to show games. If that had went viral in a TV kind of way, it could have put Scottish football up there with the best. You could argue that Spanish/Italian/German football is far more appealing than English football but Sky's marketing has conned people into thinking the EPL is the best league in the world. If Sky walked away from English football that league would be decimated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF what had went viral, Scottish football? You're having a laugh, right? The product HAS to be a decent level, Scottish football isn't. It's a never ending debate, the best league, depending on how you measure it. You could argue all you like but the bottom line is the English league is the most watched and probably most competitive, and as such get's the rewards. If Sky walked away English football would adjust. Anyone thinking otherwise is just wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Setanta only went bust due to trying to pay the extortionate amount the EPL demanded but was relatively successful when it just did Irish and Scottish football https://footballpink.net/setanta-premier-league/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking forward to the game, refreshing to be playing either of the 2 fae Glasgow and optimistic that we can get a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory sky were compensated with additional games included in their broadcasting package. Something about the amount of season tickets numbers being capped to previous season.

In fairness I was taking the interviewer on the channel at her word when she said it wouldn't be on SMTV due to it being shown on Sky. I'm pretty certain that's where others got their information.
