Sheep, Hibs, Livingston, Hamilton and Motherwell I think were the only ones we could've got first game.
Is there a reason why we couldn't get any team?

Sky don't give a flying f.uck they have been showing EPL games which costs them billions with no punters....its about viewers for them they are a broadcaster and that's it....Let’s hope this back fires massively moving the first old firm game and we start on fire and go into it points clear of them.
As much as I think the spfl office bearers are scum and dance to celtics tune, it was always going to be the last game to increase chances of fans in. Sky will be dictating that.
We could have got literally any side at all in the league and been guaranteed an away fixture. All the teams that are away could easily have been at home. The scum at home and us away are the only certainties because they won the title and we cannot play on the same day in Glasgow.Sheep, Hibs, Livingston, Hamilton and Motherwell I think were the only ones we could've got first game.
I received this last night, thought a load of shite. Lo & behold I've just watched Sky sports & what comes up !!!! Exactly this ????
1 extra days rest ? their match against Slovakia is not till the 15th NovemberScotland Euro games
Yes they are.Not had time to read the whole thread are the bheasts away on Remembrance Sunday
Sorry, you’re behind me in the queue.Doncaster on sky sports there. What a smug faced pr*ck he is. Wouldn't get tired of punching him.
Lots of folk sarcastically talking about 'randomness'. Has it ever been stated that the fixture list is supposed to be random? The guy Blair on the radio last week gave a good explanation as to how it never has been, never will be and the variables that have to go into it. For example, he talked about how important is was that our first Ibrox match against them would be as close to the 2nd January as possible.
Might just be till EPL is back?Are games going to be on a Sunday at 430pm all season?
I thought there would have been one right enough, this will end up massive through timeIf only there was a massive thread on it
The SPFL bending over backwards to accommodate greeting Neil and Peter's wishes so that they can have fans in for that first Old Firm - also predicted by many on here when the story came out weeks

Celtic not away against a top six side until October?
Just a contact. The “draw” was done yesterday afternoon.
What’s the reasoning behind having full league programmes on a couple of Friday nights, one of which is Nov 6th when Thursday 5th is a Europa League group stage night.
Group stage
22/10/2020 Matchday 1
29/10/2020 Matchday 2
05/11/2020 Matchday 3
26/11/2020 Matchday 4
03/12/2020 Matchday 5
10/12/2020 Matchday 6
Only the ten It’s a tough first game as usual, but in an empty ground it’s up to us to take the advantage.Like you mean everyone bar Celtic?
That would make sense actually.Might just be till EPL is back?
This is incorrect.
The fixture rotation in homes v aways which results in the OF games rotating every year in terms of who is at home first is also applied across the rest of the league.
If we are an away game first there is a finite number of teams we could have gotten as it would need to have been one of the teams we last played at home last season (based on the original fixtures even if they didn’t ultimately get played).
The placing of the first OF game is directly because of their Pressure, it’s been the first weekend in Sept last few seasons, and this would not have happened if we were at home first
We know the SPFL is corrupted in their favour so why would the fixtures not be also?

It is not a league law or rule though, meaning it can be changed.
They haven't sold it out for a while now.The Aberdeen board will be raging. They must be missing out on a fair bit of cash with their biggest game being in an empty stadium.
Jesus wept! half glass empty guy...I don’t understand why folk are ecstatic with Aberdeen away, it’s a ground we struggle at, more to the point it’s a team we struggle against, Pittodrie is hardly a cauldron of noise and having no fans won’t be a massive difference, it’s a very difficult fixture.
You've got to remember how much of a cornerstone these games are to the broadcasting rights - Sky will be as eager as the soap dodgers to have a crowd in for that first match. They don't show these games for the quality of the football on show.
Doesn't fit in with the conspiracy theory though, so apologies for that.
Absolutely perfect.
Pittodrie without a crowd couldn't fall better for us.
mentally challengeds will be screaming conspiracy.

They'll just kill someone off if the fans look like being locked out.What’s the odds on the October game being postponed?

As are plenty of our fans. It really is pathetic, tedious shite getting. We have a support filled with utter utter pussies these days, particularly online.
You're spot in with what you say btw, this is a great start for us.
Set up so ra selick can have an easy 3 points on the board before we have kicked a ball in one of the hardest away games you can have.
However, if we're gonna win the league we have to play every team home and away + overcome the SPFL.
