It's great to hear such desire to go the third division.

No need to keep going on about it though.

========

It's great to hear that you won the european cup in 1967.

No need to keep going on about it though

Mitre

Sky do not pay more to cover Scottish rugby, they pay more for a league that includes 2 Scottish teams ,completley different from how buzz is trying to put it

To enter the top division you would have to throw "sporting intregrity" out the window! We would have to tolerate forever being told "special treatment" was given and we should not be there. So sorry mate thats a definite no go!

And when did you lot care about getting 'special treatment'?

Are we witnessing the bear becoming apoplectic to the 'Establishment'

TCD - seems you change direction AGAIN!

As for boycotting SKY due to a lack of SPL football! Sky indeed are not daft and they could probably get a higher viewing figure by showing reruns of El Dorado!

Try have a word with your wife/girlfriend and your kids and explain why your giving up SKY tv in the house! Mind you will miss out on your games in Champions League as not all are covered on cooncil tele!

Foddy -

Sky make 7 million per 10,000 subscribers per year. So thats a £700 profit per annum and they have 10 million customers in the uk! Yet their profit shows only £1 billion so either SKY are false accounting or your figures are grossly inflated!

Bulletheed...wit aboot this direction change, care to explain?

It's only for a few weeks ally

Trust me - soon as sky get their 30,000th cancellation and break the 20 million lost income per year mark with their call centres in meltdown wi disgruntled jocks they will have a 'change if heart'.

Viewing figures in terms of programmed on sky are irrelevant mate - I pay £61 a month and can watch the god channel (mair likely babestation) aw day every day. As long as they get their £61 per month they don't give a phuuuuck whit ye watch.

As much as some seem desperate for it to happen - it won't

TCD - we want a clean slate! So Div 3 it was and should be! I dont want special treatment yet you want us in the SPL going against all that is right and the vast majority of fans in Scotland and when I mention this and the need not to be seen to be treated with favour you mock the answer! WTF do you want? We have been liquidated, we have lost the majority of our players, we have little or no income, we have no European nights for 3 seasons or more yet you think for the sake of all other SPL clubs we should be up there under further sanctions to finance them? Cmon son for enjoyment thats taking it a bit far! We have to be your cannon fodder! FFS the police wouldnt allow the matches to go ahead! You are a fool!!

So even when we say we want fairness you want to mock it! <clown>

Not only that Ally, but with the average sky bill being about £60 a month according to the figures quoted earlier sky have no cost outlay.

Someone better tell the epl they aint getting paid this year.

Foddy thought you were goin to the final!

As for the cancellations people can cancel sky sports! Downgrade their package but unsubscribe completely to SKY you might get a few but 100,000! Never!

Yes

It's the fact that you still think you havevthe right to a 'what we want'

How about...'we'll take what's coming and be grateful for being allowed back in, after what our club were guilty of'?



You've still to explain the change of direction, though

Mitre most of the money is advertising revenue generated by viewing figures! Not through subscription!

I will be canceling sky sports cause there will be no more gets games.

I won't cancel sky though, I quite like being able to watch sky Atlantic, music channels, sky 1, kids channels when we have the nephews and neices over.

foddy If you think 100,000 people will cancel all of that because they reduced the SPL deal then you are a mad man.

Enjoy council tv ya numpty

It's income - what Sky do with it is up to them but anybody who loves their team and the Scottish game will do it no problem. I reckon we wouldn't be off air long - 100,000 no problem - there's that many on any tenement wall in the east end you care to choose

Alright so perhaps change of direction was inappropriate! We are taking whats coming we are in the 3rd division, the lowest echelon of "pro" football in Scotland! We have no squad, we have no revenue stream, we have no european nights!

Our club were guilty of going bust! Thats it! We havent commited murder! Yes there are consequences for other clubs but they were offered the CVA, they refused, they were offered us in the SPL, they were offered us in the 1st division they decided 3rd division! So wtf else do you want?

So these clubs, your chairman included, had the opportunity to keep us but on the basis of FANS opinion decided against it. Perhaps your anger would be better directed at those who cannot see the woods for the trees due to their hatred and as so many people have said before voted like turkeys for Xmas!

The SPL cant live if living is without the Gers!!!

foddy

Foddy not a chance mate! How many people on average across the UK have watched SKY purely for SPL games? How many Scots have it for Champs League, EPL, horse racing, golf etc etc not to mention the myriad of other channels along with their broadband and line rental? Most wont have virgin available and bt's product is dire! So if you believe you can get 100,000 to cancel complete sky subscription then I think its not only your sky profit generating figures that are way out!

posted on 15/7/12

Btw virgin and bt need to pay sky to show there channels so even if you switch to them it won't hurt them.

It council telly only for foddy
