It's not specific to you, if I'm honest. I hear fans doing that all the time. We're nowhere near the English Premiership. Virtually no league on the planet is. The Premier League isn't just England's domestic football league commercially. It's one of the world's biggest sports media properties. It regularly has something like 1.45 billion live viewers in a season, is broadcast in 190 odd countries and has 2 billion+ followers worldwide. I'm not saying our TV deal is great value, by the way. Scottish football clearly punches miles above its weight. But stadium popularity and global broadcast value are two different things. If you want to argue the SPFL undersells Scottish football, compare our deal with Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Norway, Austria or Ireland and look at what broadcasters pay per game and per potential viewer. But anyone comparing a highly successful national football competition with one of the biggest global entertainment products on the planet is mental. And just because they're located down the road doesn't make any difference to that.

Yep, football was Saturday 3pm or Wednesday 7.30pm and they finished at 4.40 or 9.10

You having a laugh 😆
