Streaming rights, cost to research and develop, resource cost to build and test, technical cost to implement

Do all that and still face streaming rights. CFO gets sacked for spending money on something a lawyer could have told him not to
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh...the technicalities, I just leave that to my minions, I'm certain they could solve all of that, it's such a bore, it's the creative money making thing I do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats no working either
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That’s the way to do it

Money for nothin' and your chicks for free?

Budgeted income for who?
==
Yes, the SFA
==
The SFA maybe. Certainly not the clubs.
They won’t be refunding TV money assuming the games get played, which was the topic under discussion.
You assume they already have it.
If they don’t and they actually don’t from Premier, then they won’t be getting it.
==

SfA will happily hold the games when they can get a crowd in.
They will I’m sure
==

Not sure what your point is.
==
My point is money out the game, loss of revenue
The point of the thread and only a marginal deviation.

If you’re sure they’ll play the games, then why even bring it up?

In this day and age a virtual season ticket is long overdue.

In 20 years time it will be the norm.

FFS Duke, even the EPL struggle to bring in >£3m a game
----------------------------------------------------------------------
full house so 2 mill
+
TV
Sponsorship
Advertising
Hospitality
Catering
Programme

Cant be far off 3 mill.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, last year it was 40,440 tickets to the clubs at £30-35. Concessions £20 & 10. Lets call the average £30 so £1.2m.

Rest go to sponsors, blazers, member clubs, players, officials, partner companies though the bulk will be hospitality and maybe assume £50 for the match ticket portion at say 6k seats? £0.3m?

TV deal was £3.33m per season covering every single game in the cup. Not sure how much of that would be allocated for the final? Maybe £0.4m?

The sponsorship pays the prize money. It is reported as £60k for the winners - haud me back. Runners up get £30k Call that £0.1m.

Catering - is that not subcontracted?

Trackside - ?

Most of these numbers are public domain albeit I've guessed at some of the assumptions. Still hard to see where £3m is coming from.

The 3 mill was in relation to the international match
Could be on the high side right enough
10 mill was the cup 3 games again possibly high

The SFA have income normally around 32 million
29% is via the Scottish cup mostly the semi’s, and internationals
4 games as such being delayed or cancelled is a big dent in the season income whatever the actual Income was budgeted at

They distribute between 10 and 12 mill to member clubs and associations including grass roots

Perhaps very minor at the top but could be significant at lower levels

Just another example of the impact the current situation creates

As you say all in the public domain

2 games a week is the plan

Getting booked is always a problem but we move from 12 to 10 min tees which will help from next week
The weather deteriorating will also help

Absolute nutjobs regardless of their cause. Should have been dispersed with water cannons.

Hang on

So we buy the season ticket and we get to watch it on tv? Meanwhile they save on practically everything match day?

I hope it's a far better deal than that.

For hospitality guests they'll send you a McD's voucher anaw

I missed the call from them the other day to discuss my "options" whatever they are. Tried calling back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FFS mate, the amount you are paying you should have your own 'relationship manager' much like private banking?

Mind you, haven't spoken to mine in about 10 years. Cants keep trying to sell me products I neither need nor want. Ask them difficult questions you already know the answers to and they are prepared to lie to make a sale. Cvnts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's not bad. Here they sign you up for them without asking. my$50.00 hasn't grown at all.
