How can the SPL do that if ESPN are still commited to their current 30 game a season deal? SPL TV would need to broadcast about 60 games a season, on top of the 30 ESPN, to be a success. All that will do however is encourage more Scottish fans to stay at home to watch the action rather than going to the game.
If there was zero live SPL games on TV, and all SPL games kicked-off at 3pm on a Saturday, would the fans return to the games in their thousands? It's the lack of bums on seats that is killing the Scottish game. If SPL teams charged £10.00 per game, cash at the gates, and re-introduced the sensible sale of beer at the grounds Scottish football could have a chance.
