SteveMcD Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The SPFL have signed a tv deal with china. A £500,000 pounds a year deal for 3years, main stream chineese tv. Is part of a deal which was signed back in 2013, and ultimately the SPFL part is just a small add-on of a rights deal agreed between a Singaporean company and a digital broadcaster in China. Obviously any extra money coming in is a plus, but isn't in anyway going to generate any major interest in Scottish football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Aye, seem to recall a press conference with Doncaster, Lawwell and Salmond... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLAS Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 55 live games to be broadcast in China has been mentioned. Do we even get 55 via Sky & BT Sports? We often get just the one per week. Two if Celtic are playing away midweek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al1978 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I've just come back from living there for a year and didn't see a single SPL game on the telly. Had 200 channels and always checked what football was on at the weekend. I figured they stopped showing it once they realised what they'd bought.

SteveMcD Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) unless someone signs a chineese player ? There's something like 3 Chinese players currently playing in the top division of leagues throughout Europe. The CSL is not the highest quality (although Guangzhou Evergrande did win the Asian CL recently), but has much more money in it than the SPFL. Derek Riordan was on £30.000 during his short stint at Shaanxi Chanba. Any Chinese player who does come to Scotland, would be of a level that the only boost in interest / viewing numbers would be said players direct family. Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A plus the EPL are the only leagues of interest within China, and even then that's reflected more in shirt-sales rather than viewing figures. Most popular TV sport in China just now is the NBA. Edited July 21, 2015 by SteveMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before that Fan Zhiyi played for Dundee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_Zhiyi I knew Du Wei played in the infamous Clyde game where Roy Keane made his debut. Hadn't realised that was his only appearance. To add insult to injury, he was hooked at half time for Adam Virgo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
