the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Never seen them separated before. But putting other things in perspective Swansea and villa get tens of millions from TV only to end up watched by the same number of people as us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Who cares? Scotland, England, the whole of the U.K., Rangers still come out on top of the table shown, and that's the point. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 If? Your first post suggested that they were for Scotland only, indeed it's the only way that your words could make any sense. No idea what you are ranting on about. I never suggested anything. You are the one who suggested it was Scotland alone. My suggestion was if England has a population of 54 million and Scotland have a population of 5 million then it just may be possible that more people tune in to the English leagues. But hey anything for a negative post about Rangers eh! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If each club had individual TV deals then I could see your point. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey anything for a negative post about Rangers eh! I'm not ranting. I made a perfectly reasonable point about the popularity of, or lack of, the Scottish game on UK television. You were the one who jumped in feet first seeing what you wanted to see. Edited June 23, 2015 by Rangersitis 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm not ranting. I made a perfectly reasonable point about the popularity of, or lack of, the Scottish game on UK television. You were the one who jumped in feet first seeing what you wanted to see. Seems to me it shows how popular a couple of Scottish teams are when, in the SECOND TIER in a country of 5m they get the same as a top half of the top tier game in England who have 11 times the population. The fact that Rangers and Hearts received about 200 grand between them from TV compared to about £140m for the two clubs you mention for the same viewing figures is mind boggling. Your viewpoint does seem to be coming from a funny angle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
