Totally agree, it's getting infuriating why the Club haven't spoken out,the while thing is a carve up and quite honestly,if we could join the English league I'd jump at it. Surely the Club must act,they must've seen the tiar quote. The whole lot need chased.Fucking pathetic all round.
I’ll repeat my comment yet again - either the fucking cabal running the show up here needs to go, or we do. If we continue to bend over and take it then this might well be my last season as a season ticket holder. I’m fucking scunnered. Cheated on the park and unable to lay a glove on them off the park.
Dont understand the 'im not paying this on top of my season ticket' shouts. Its common sense the club will be giving this to season ticket holders.
I hope we get a half decent commentator in.
That is most likely the usual playing with words. Trying to make it sound as if ALL liabilities have been dealt with and not only sky. Even then, as mentioned by another poster, sky will likely only be satisfied with a sufficient uptake in the scheme.what happens to BT's money for the 2019/20 games that weren't completed then?
Fucking hellScottish Premiership set for August return with new Sky Sports deal
Sky Sports to show up to 48 games a year; virtual season tickets for 2020/21www.skysports.com
Seems the Sheep are rolling it in to existing STs sold:
“Cormack, who was part of the SFA/SPFL broadcast sub-group looking into the idea of live-streaming games and has previously vowed to give the 6,000 fans who have bought Pittodrie season tickets so far “full value”, said: “AFC welcomes the Sky deal brokered by the SPFL. Given the current circumstances we find ourselves in, it is an excellent deal and we really appreciate Sky’s constructive, partnership approach.
“From the outset our commitment to supporters has been to deliver full value for our season ticket holders. Under this deal, AFC will be able to offer virtual access to season ticket holders for all closed-door home games and will continue to work with our colleagues at fellow Premiership clubs to explore potential arrangements to show away games.”

Given that Cormack was on the broadcasting sub-group doesn’t say much for the wording in the statement.

Tim’s have confirmed they won’t be charging ST holders for this
Their SLO has been on social media saying itWhere is this?
Their SLO has been on social media saying it
Aberdeen also not charging their St holders.Wonder why ours is saying next couple of days to update?
Hopefully something today to confirm likewise
Hearts are down, they’ve accepted it as part of the cash injection proposal supposedly. Championship to start in OctoberHow can they sell virtual season tickets for a league when they don't even know how many teams will be in the league. Farcical.
Aberdeen also not charging their St holders.
We will say likewise , and then we will charge the non sts
Rangers better be offering something for existing ST holders.
Agree with this 100%Dont understand the 'im not paying this on top of my season ticket' shouts. Its common sense the club will be giving this to season ticket holders.

I don’t get why the announcement would specify that VSTs can be sold to ST holders if actually it’s going to be free and then sold to general public?
Looking again I still think this might just be a case of the original statement being terribly worded (shock horror).
Limiting the ‘virtual ST’ to only holders of a ‘physical ST’ would be basically turning away free money and would rely on people being willing to buy things twice potentially.
Don’t see why logically they wouldn’t open it for all and even perhaps be available (at increased per game cost) on a game by game basis for non-ST holders.
I was thinking their logic may be that the game being behind closed doors means only ST holders are being stopped from watching it so only they would need to be accommodated.
I think you overestimate the writing skills of the idiots running the SPFL. Too busy getting sentences in about tainted titles to proofread the rest.
So Rangers were correct all along there were liabilities and that 10 iar part straight from his boss
Maybe it will help some of our ballless wonders since they won't feel the "pressure"and will be more like a training game.While obviously understandable, I'm gutted that we will start the season playing in an empty Ibrox - this season more than any other we could do with the crowd right behind the team.
Give them nothing mate. Not a brown penny.As said all ST holders should get the games at Ibrox for free, otherwise this is taking the piss.
Not too worried about the away games as I will get a dodgy stream from somewhere, I'm not giving my money to any other club if possible.
same. %^*& sky. have papped every channel down to the bare minimum package until i'm eligible to cancel my contract next month. absolute load of shite, never watch it. garbage.I have sky at home but I deleted the sports channels. Unless it’s free they can phuck the phuck off.

I've just had my last one. The next step is that Rangers fans will be asked to take a knee to Celtic fans and apologise for calling them paedo 19th Century Terrorist bassas We are officially under the mentally challenged jackboot.Fucking pathetic all round.

Sky opening a big can of worms for themselves here legally. If they themselves are getting refunds/special deals because games weren't played then they will almost certainly be getting requests for refunds from millions of customers who didn't get the promised product they signed up for.
Interesting times ahead methinks ...
