Everyone who is a fan of a Scottish team should ditch Sky until they give us a better deal and get Regan and Donaster out first as they would sell there granny for 10 bob.
Surely with the EPL getting that much, the SPL should be getting at least 20m a season!

All about supply and demand.
EPL is in demand. Scottish fitbaw isn't.
Nae point whining bout it

Ibrox there is a market for it, The Alloa v Falkirk game was screened out here in Arizona. There is a market for our product.
But because we have halfwits who play our game down to a level below what it is, we have no bargaining tool when it comes to TV negotiations.
And the press in this country are one of the biggest culprits

oh there's a market, but it's tiny.
Just reeks of wee man syndrome when folk moan about the EPL IMO .

I haven't had Sky Sports in about 3 years now.
Won't pay the cants a bean until they stop ripping the absolute pash with the TV deals either side of the border.

Its not just sky though, I was horrified to find out that Gary Linekar gets more from the BBC than the whole of Scottish football!!
Cant remember the exact stats, but you have to remember we pay in 10% towards the BBC budget for the UK. But nowhere near that it put back into our football.
There would be a decent market for Scottish football if it was more competitive, so lets hope Hibs, Falkirk and Aberdeen keep up their challenges and DUFC can at least create some sort of relegation battle
