jailender Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 End of the day it's about Sky/BT paying more than either the terrestrial stations can afford, and theĀ SFA take the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 They could subsidise youth coaches, indoor facilities, performance schools etc then SFA does not need to go to highest bidder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are advocating giving up millions from tv but not able to say how it will be replaced. Higher ticket prices? Nope. Not local government funding which is being cut by Holyrood and while going off on a tangent the Oriam centre looks brilliant but that's 4 indoor pitches in 9 years. Must do better.

Alan Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. Your like Humza talking about why the trains are so shit. But that doesn't impact you. In summary. We need the Sky money as no one will make up the shortfall and we have a pathetic number of full size indoor pitches. 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What iis the income of the Northern Irish FA, or the Icelandic FA, or any of the countless other FAs that have qualified for tournaments since 1998? The SFA's business model is burst.

That's a good question although I'm sure with Euro Champs qualification Northern Ireland and Iceland will have some cash. The thing I'm blindly clinging onto and placing all my hope in are the regional performance schools. I'm guessing these cost a fair bit to run and admin with every year bringing potential players.

Problem is, the Scottish Government can not simply be seen pumping cash into just one sport (if I am not mistaken, isĀ Oriam not shared with the SRU?) as it will just have a domino effect.... if they do it for the national team, then the clubs will soon follow asking where their cut is, then the SRU will probably follow asking why is Rugby missing out......

tartanmartin Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 i'm led to believe that the SFA are married to bskyb for the home matches for the next few years.Ā TV rights to away matches are determined and sold by the home nation.Ā in the absence of a terrestrial TV deal i'd like to see some imaginitive solutions such as show matches in cinemas.Ā this allows kids to see the games and if there was a cut from popcorn and drinks then it could be a money spinner together with the admission fees.Ā or they could do beam backs.

Holyrood has billions upon billions to spend on what it deems important.Ā Indoor facilities like they have in Iceland or Norway are sadly lacking in Scotland but Wanderer makes a valid point about funding however we still need to have more indoor pitches.
