Gribz 745 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I was reading the draw about an hour ago before Ian posted this...I said one game either from Ibrox or Parkhead will get moved for TV as they cant play in Glasgow at the same time - as usual its the only show in town that rescues the TV. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,278 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Another reduced crowd no doubt you wonder if telly money is enough to compensate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Another reduced crowd no doubt you wonder if telly money is enough to compensate. I don't really know why a Sunday at 3pm should reduce the crowd. A SC game against Morton will never get a capacity crowd even on a Saturday at 3pm. I would not think more than 30.000 will come anyway or +\- that number no matter when it is held. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,278 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I was not getting at game being on a Sunday but the fact that it is on TV which may put fans off buying tickets.If for instance the crowd might have been 5-10,000 more my question is would the TV money be enough to cover the loss in revenue. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
