Monkey Tennis Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 This weekend has settled nearly everything then. We know who's going up as champions and we effectively know the composition and order of those in the promotion play-off places. We also know who is getting relegated in bottom place. The one significant unknown is 9th place, for who might join them. It's funny, given how tight it's been, that there's not much left to decide on the last day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However unlikely it is (and your 1 in 1000 seems about right) it is still mathematically possible for Raith to get 4th place. But aye, it's never going to happen. He was being pedantic. Rovers *could* lose 10-0 on Friday but it's not going to happen so it's not discussed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 I'd actually be a lot more accepting of being in the play-offs but it didn't mean another trip to Firhill. That pitch is a total disgrace and even if we won you know it's going to be an abysmal game of football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree in general, but the surface yesterday was much, much better than it’s been since about January. The sun these last few weeks seems to have helped a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful that it will now get used across two play-off campaigns as well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

third lanark Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 For the playoffs how do things work for the gates- for instance does the home team keep the gate? I’ve heard it mentioned previously that the gates are split 50-50 and elsewhere that the home team keeps half the gate but that the SPFL keeps the other half? for any games on television or the radio- do the clubs get a fee or does it just go straight to the SPFL? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks From what I can gather all TV money goes into an overall pot and then gets divided up between all SPFL clubs on a sliding scale. There was a post on the pecentage split of gate money between SPFL, home and away teams on another thread, thou not sure if it's acurate or not.

South Lanarkshire Jag Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 All TV money(whether BBC Scotland Championship deal or the Sky Premiership telly deal) goes into a centralised pot and is distributed on finishing position - Championship clubs probably win in this regard as they get more money guaranteed based on finishing position for the inconvenience of two Friday night games. For the Premiership play-offs, each team keeps their home gates and the SPFL take 50% of the profits, after a 15% cost expense is deducted - I believe it helps to partially fund the parachute payments from Premiership to Championship for relegated teams. There are also minimum prices that were introduced after Rangers charged everyone a 5er for their play-off v Motherwell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Happy final day of the season everybody Other than Arbroath's heroics, I don't think it's one that will live long in the collective memory banks. I would say we may all see some last-day drama but most folk won't because the BBC are showing the completely meaningless Raith vs Killie game instead of Ayr vs Thistle. Hoping the Pars can avoid the play-offs but I feel Ayr will get the job done tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith signing a rapist, defending signing a rapist, backing down, then the owner saying he considered folding the club will live in memories for quite a while I'd imagine. On the pitch you're probably correct however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 This has definitely been one of the longest seasons I can remember although I’m not sure if it’s because the last two seasons were either cut short or played with reduced games. Either way it’s been a fucking slog and I can’t wait to see the back of it. Hopefully this is our last game for a couple of months and we don’t have to go through the rigmarole of the playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I’ve quite enjoyed this season, up until March at least. It’s completely fizzled out but certainly preferable to the absolute binfires we’ve had for the last 4 or 5 years (or watching exclusively on a stream) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
