SPFL strikes a deal with SKY Sports!! - 0762 - 03-06-2020

Virtual footie on offer but without attending fans. There was a famous quote by the late Jock Stein all those years ago - "Football is nothing without fans". IMO That says it all and a sterile presentation of the beautiful game is a compromise that has to be endured in hopefully the short term.

This is a great idea and one that will allow football to continue without fans, as you said hopefully in the short term only. Clubs need revenue, this gives them something.

Hopefully this works out and we get some games to watch.
