Peasie 103 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I didn't know the figures were amended for the existing contract. What is the SPL getting this month from Sky and did they say why they were reducing it? Was the infamous clause that Sky got the rights to televise minimum of four Old Firm games in the season or that Rangers and celtic had to be members of SPL? You don't need to press the point about the SFL payment The existing contract was for £13M (or might even have been for £13.5M) and still had one year to run. This contract was meant to be torn up and replaced with a new deal for £80M over 5 years. It is obvious that was oot the windae. But there has been negotiating going on - not least no deal would have been signed unless the SPL got the right to the SFL games. If they were going to honour the final year they would just have gone ahead. But now they have to pay £1M to the SFL (on top of the payment I'm not allowed to mention ).

glesgabear81 24 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 So what are Sky paying the SPL this year? I understand that the SPL payment to SFL is not dependent on any TV deal. What is ESPN paying the SPL for showing our games? surely it will cover the additional 1 million the SPL pay the SFL.Is the record using the 80 million contract being scrapped to justify the 17 million loss to SPL clubs?Sorry for the questions, I don't buy the papers and haven't had much time to do any searching online for the facts.

cooper1972 29 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 We are not entitled to any of the media rights in the SFL. Our membership is as an affiliate and thAt requires 4 years membership before getting a share. However David Langmuir has stated that the SFL would look at it fairly and see what Rangers could get. But the rules are that we do not get anything.Well I ant buying shit then they can stick there sky sports and espn up there arse if the gers r gettin nothing. computer for me I'll send you all links when the gers game is on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The figures are based on the tv money alone. These figures are easy to calculate. Next to impossible to calculate gate figures.What about other sponsorship deals?They will all be down as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.T.G 10,771 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Personally, I hope the diddy teams change the voting structure to 11/1Celtic get pissed off and breakaway to their own league where they invite no-oneSo there is just a league with Celtic in it, but they get bored and start shagging each other and catch AIDS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reservoir Dug 5 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I dont see an SPL2 next season, think its gonna be a 3 division set-up all run by one orgnisation, either SFL or SFA. The SPL will disappear, at least as a seperate organisation. What division we end up in I have no idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpybear 24 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yep, tv money is the only income stream the spl need to worry about.... Aye yer right. I wiz just a bit pissed off when I saw the reported figure. Finding a new league sponsor offering anything like what they have been getting will slap the wanks hard next season. I'm also sure that in this time of austerity all other sponsors and advertisers will be following SKY's lead and negotiating themselves improved deals.Heyhey Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
