Modernist Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 It seems that none of our Scottish media chums on yon Twitter thing know how the share of TV revenue generated by the SPL is split between each club ? Can anyone on here enlighten me please ? Mr Spiers says............ Re SPL reform. Walter Smith's point is that Scottish football may die if Rangers + Celtic stay. He thinks it best for SPL if they leave. And then contradicts himself with this. The Old Firm are certainly a 'gravy train' in terms of Sky or ESPN. Put it this way: without them, TV is not interested in SPL. No mention of the % of TV revenue shared between each club. Derek Rae is at least honest........... Sorry. Don't have any answers. Also asked him the following question, Big two get extra money on their travels via TV, others suffer lower attendances as a result. How many live games per season in Glasgow ? His answer was 8. Whilst Richard Wilson (Herald) agrees............ True, but then smaller TV audience when Ibrox/Celtic Park is full. TV is income, so it has an influence. Otherwise, 16-team SPL He also goes on to say about 16/18 team league............. Like everyone in football, but TV want four Old Firm & Edinburgh derbies, hence 10-team league. W/out TV income, clubs bankrupt. No mention of the % of TV revenue shared between each club right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 It seems that none of our Scottish media chums on yon Twitter thing know how the share of TV revenue generated by the SPL is split between each club ? Can anyone on here enlighten me please ? According to the SPL website... How is commercial and broadcasting revenue distributed between SPL clubs? All revenues generated by the SPL are effectively put into one pot. A support payment to the SFL and parachute payments to recently relegated clubs are then deducted from that pot. All associated costs of running the SPL are also deducted. The remaining amount is split two ways to the member clubs: 48% is divided equally between all 12 clubs while 52% is distributed to teams dependant upon their final league position. The higher up the table that a club finishes, the more money they will receive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 the club's annual tv and radio income is roughly equal to the entire income from gates receipts from a season. even if we lose 20 thousand patg attendes a season due to tv it's still more than paying it's way without even considering the effect coverage has on sponsorship. the last accounts said that media income was 32% of our turnover.

weeyin Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I wouldn't wish it on the club, but the seasons we spent in the First Division were a lot of fun with days out to some great wee (and not so wee) grounds. Another reason for a 16 team league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoF Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 From the 2009/10 SPL Handbook. (Which you can download here) C4.3.2 The tranches referred to in C4.3.1 are: “The Basic Facility Fee Pool”, 48% of the Net Commercial Revenues, which shall be shared equally amongst the Clubs participating in the League during the Season in question; and “The Supplementary Facility Fee Pool”, 52% of the Net Commercial Revenues, which shall be paid to the Clubs participating in the League during the Season in question in accordance with their respective league positions at the end of that Season. Basic Facility Fee Pool + Supplementary Facility Fee Pool = Total 1 4.0% 13.0% 17.0% 2 4.0% 11.0% 15.0% 3 4.0% 5.5% 9.5% 4 4.0% 4.5% 8.5% 5 4.0% 4.0% 8.0% 6 4.0% 3.5% 7.5% 7 4.0% 3.0% 7.0% 8 4.0% 2.5% 6.5% 9 4.0% 2.0% 6.0% 10 4.0% 1.5% 5.5% 11 4.0% 1.0% 5.0% 12 4.0% 0.5% 4.5% 48.0% 52.0% 100.0% So as ye can see, it's pretty significantly weighted towards whoever finishes first and second.

That's a good find church_of_fudge. The heavy weighting towards the top too was my understanding, although I actually thought it was even more in their favour, but I took it I was wrong when doubts cast by the great and the good that Modernist chinned for info. Interesting that there's the notable gap between the top two and third in terms of prize money yet there doesn't appear to be any significance whatsoever placed on making the top six or not, despite the importance of making the top half being the stated target for many of the rank and file. That said I remember a couple of seasons ago someone posted a table that actually had the details in monetary terms which was also quite interesting. 0.5% of a difference from 3rd place down doesn't catch the eye but when the actual differences in prize are listed it was quite an eye opener.
