Premier sports & our cup games this season?

[Gazza 8]

Can anyone confirm that all of our League cup & Scottish cup games will be on Premier sports before I buy the channell?

 

[Teddy bear]

All cup games are on premier, not necessarily ours though.

 

[Frank Burnside]

They will be, Premier get the the 1st choice of picks each round and they always pick our games.

 

[OohAhHuistra]

Yes they get first choice and it’s always us & then.

 

[Gazza 8]

Cheers.

Aint cheap being a football fan these days.

 

[Kris1872]

I bought it for the Pre Season friendlies then kept it for the game in Gibraltar. Kept meaning to cancel it but never got round to it glad I didn’t now.

 

[Jimidh]

I have it for the Pro14 so it’s been a bonus getting out cup games this season.

As they say - Result!

 

[El Toro]

Just seen there is a big thread on deals for Premier sports

 

[GF1]

Doesn't matter how big a deal they do I am never signing up for Premier.

Already pay Sky, BT, Prime, Netflix and Disney!

Premier is one step too far for me. If I have the money to buy our games it will be via RTV on a holiday. Otherwise I will be seeking alternative viewing

 

[Portrushbear]

Another abhorrent decision by those governing Scottish football

 

[BlueCofIbrox]

Yeah. I’m sure Heart & Hand have confirmed on their updates before that Premier have first picks for games and will always choose us and them regardless of who the opposition is.
Hence why games like the Stranraer game were on last season.

 

[Hurricane Run]

Tbh I wouldnt even have let them bid for the rights. They are essentially just Setanta rebranded and that deal set us back nearly 20yrs

 

[Mrs Presley]

Same here paying for Sky and BT it's a joke but I would rather pay per view with Rangers.

Crazy money. I've ditched the first 4 there and never had the fifth. I don't have Premier either. An Annual Unlimited (overseas) subscription to RangersTV and a VPN gets me all I need. Mrs can make do with Freesat for her viewing pleasure and can wait a week for her Amazon deliveries.

It’s a disgrace. The spfl and spl have no idea what they are doing

 

[leroyjohnson]

I remember said update. Makes sense, us and them v absolutely anyone would probably pull in more viewers than an Edinburgh Derby.

Of course they do, in general Scottish football is a filler for the other channels so they don't need to buy the rights to everything. I doubt that the other channels would have put a lot of effort into bidding for our cup games as they would have little space to show them.

It isn't great for the fans but we aren't given much consideration.

 

[das]

Only the Scottish Cup. BT have the League Cup

Isn't this game the league cup?

 

[DazRFC94]

Isn't this game the league cup?

Yeah, I’m talking absolute rubbish. Best ignored

 

[rangeral]

Only the Scottish Cup. BT have the League Cup

BT Sport no longer have rights to league cup

Premier Sports have rights until 2024/25

How much are you paying a month?

 

[jorg_the_hammer]

If anyone fancies watching the game in full tomorrow it's on freesports (freeview channel 64) at 14:30

 

[DarrenDRM]

Just seen there is a big thread on deals for Premier sports

What deals is there mate?

 

[55 and counting]

All cup games are on premier, not necessarily ours though.

All our games will be on. They want subscribers. They put us on at home v Stranraer last season that tells you all you need to know about what their strategy is

 

[rangeral]

Premier Sports have 1st 2 picks in Scottish Cup from when Premiership clubs enter until quarter finals and 1st pick of the Semi-final as a shared contract with BBC Scotland

League Cup is only Premier Sports

 

[Birkenshaw Bear]

I’ll be watching the game on RangersTV with my VPN on.

I know that my money is going directly to Rangers.

There’s a few others who’ve done this for a while on the forum. Saves you having to buy Sky Sports, Premier, BT etc.

 

[GF1]

Crazy money. I've ditched the first 4 there and never had the fifth. I don't have Premier either. An Annual Unlimited (overseas) subscription to RangersTV and a VPN gets me all I need. Mrs can make do with Freesat for her viewing pleasure and can wait a week for her Amazon deliveries.

And that also doesn't include the price of the season ticket and additional games!

 

[RodVegas]

If it's same as last year then semis and final are on terrestrial tv. Game today is on Freesport channel tomorrow as earlier poster said. F uck Premier sports.

 

[Whitecarlos]

Cheapest season on record.

 

[ClubDeckBear]

I'm in the same boat as you bud always surprised when I go into app to check and it still works as I keep meaning to cancel it. It's utter shite from stream quality right through to commentary. Still better than not watching at all tho.

 

[ClubDeckBear]

Cheers.

Extortionate my man season ticket, bt, sky, premier plus the tops, tops for the kids etc. At least with the ST and the merch you know it's going straight to the club but I really do grudge giving sky, BT and Premier my money considering the amount of rhabids on the comms and punditry.

 

[Kris1872]

How much are you paying a month?

extra £10 onto my virgin account every month.

Agree mate. I’ve never watched another game that never had Rangers in it on it either.

Kid myself on I've got time to watch serie a soon as I get one arse cheek on the couch she's got a job for me to do.
