BrahimHemdani 1 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) No, not cup ties. I just got the impression from all the wailing when a match was postponed that the team would lose out on much needed cash injections, as well as a wee bit from a smaller crowd as the reply would most likely be a midweek game. I was sure the money was split something like 60/40% in favour of the home team, but that may have been some earlier deal, because I don't seriously know how it's done at the moment. Either way though, wheather it's at the end of the season, or not, surely the smaller teams arehappier to have both OF teams visiting, due to their high potential for TVised matches. That route to riches has been slashed by more than 50% now, as we always had the bigger average away support than septic. Obviously there are two different things here. The TV deal is the TV deal and it was £13/14M per season and was to be £16M/season and this goes into a pot with the sponsorship money and any other SPL commecrial deals and is doled out at the end of the season: 17% to the winners and 15% to the runners up. If the TV deal is cut in half (by no means certain and certainly not next year) then it will cost Celtic about £1M+/season. Visiting old firms is quite another thing and obviously the loss of Rangers fans will be a blow and the smaller you are the bigger the blow; but Aberdeen estimated that they would need to get 1,000 more fans on average to compensate and if Dundee are in the League then that would help them a lot. Dundee Utd might get more for a visit by Dundee than Rangers e.g. 10,000 at the weekend friendly.

My point is that if they get 10,000 for a friendly how many will they get for a league game, no matter how fiercely it is contested. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 One of the reasons the friendly was well attended is because it's not happened for some time, plus they may not have charged as much for a league game, but they'd certainly attract a fair crowd, certainly as good as we'd have there. The TV deal will still be less though, because we're not there, and hopefully sky want to keep some money for showing Rangers games. We'll probably just have to wait and see how bids to show our games. I'm confident someone will offer something. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think celtcs away crowd will dwindle as well. games will be on tv and are essentially no longer competitive. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,565 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 From a Scotland on Sunday article ... So Celtic got £2,957,000 for being champions last season and would have got £2,141,000 had Rangers gone into the First Division – but next year they would receive just £287,000 were they to win the SPL. Ouch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you say that it won't be next year? if there is a clause that allows them to break it then it may well be next year. The lack of a competitive league and the lack of OF games suggests that a 50% reduction would be the very least that the TV companies would be looking at. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
