I'll not be subscribing to premier sports
It's getting ridiculous, fans getting fleeced left right and centre
Shite kick off times and subscriptions galore
I wonder if they’ll be shown free to air on its sister channel freesports
That is just a mess. Why don't they just do a bundle with one subscriber. Too much like common sense.Do Sky/BBC not still hold them?
Means could be soon in a position where league = Sky; league cup = BT; and Scottish = Premier.
So you currently need to have Sky Sports, BT Sport and Premier to watch all televised Rangers games in the UK?
This is a disgrace. We should package it all up to one buyer, or sell it ourselves.
You cannot shame the shameless"Premier Sports bring their reputation of high-quality sports broadcasting to the Scottish domestic scene for the first time"
Is this a standup comedy piece?
The reason why this has ended up in premier sports is previously the Scottish Cup TV rights were packaged together with Scotland hone games. Now that these are packaged centrally by UEFA as part of nations league then the Scottish Cup rights have to be sold seperately.
The fact the SFA will have wanted a terrestrial partner, Plus the Final is under the Crown Jewels TV rights so has to be on the beeb, then the Value to Sky and BT is really only the chance of an old firm semi. Outwith that the rights are pretty much worthless.
Think i will be investing in a Q box for Scottish cup games. F*ck forking out £120 a year for Premier Sports.What about this season?
Forget that, it's a six year deal starting in January.
More money for fans to fork out.
Are we allowed to discuss what is the best VPN to use? It is not illegal.Rangers TV and a VPN is probably cheaper.
Premier Sports is SetantaI pay enough money for our football no more, this lot will go the same as that Irish mob Setanta, I have RTV and I watched the game again at midnight last night after being at Ibrox in the afternoon, this will do for me.
You cannot shame the shameless
Premier Sports are Setanta under another guise.
All you need is Rangers TV, a VPN and a season ticket and you're sorted mate.
It’s a grey area for the consumer. Rangers can’t broadcast Saturday 3pm live in the UK due to draconian laws of the game, but can legally sell packages to users ‘abroad’.Are we allowed to discuss what is the best VPN to use? It is not illegal.
Premier Sports coverage of our European games was amateur at best.
No doubt they will now bump up their subscription rates too.
BBC get first choice, We'll be on there if we get drawn against good opposition.
Shocking decision but with the amateurs running our game I’m not surprised. No way am I taking out a 3rd subscription.
If they truly had the supporters interests at heart they would negotiate hard for a single exclusive deal covering all Scottish football with the credible sports broadcasters - which is currently BT and Sky. Make one provider the exclusive channel and have them build the Scottish game’s profile. Premier Sports are a joke outfit.
I’d also like to see match selections for TV actually be matches that promote the best of the Scottish game. We should, for example, have more big Rangers matches at Ibrox to showcase our game - the recent Rangers v Hearts game being a prime example. Big important clash at a wonderful venue that was a great advert for our game. What was on TV that weekend? St Johnstone vs them, a poor spectacle overall. We should be putting a TV deal in place that allows us to promote the very best we have to offer so that we can build an audience over time. Folk tuning into the current schedule see crappy, small venues and awful pitches. It’s not good enough.
Like a lot of others I have the full RTV package.Anyone know for sure if we will still get the qualifying rounds or have Premier Sports bought the exclusive rights now.
So the fans lose out again by now needing a third subscription to see the games.
I know I for one will find alternative means of watching these games.
Trying to look at the bigger picture, and not saying I will subscribe to Premier sports, but if the figures are correct plus whoever wins the rights for the Scottish premiership, we're looking at £120 million overall.
How is that in the grand scheme of things compared to what we're getting now for both Scottish Cup and Premiership rights?
