I feel it came down to finances and uncertainty of the lockdown..................many clubs up here are struggling financially, and that was before the pandemic. With no fans allowed in ( most clubs in Scotland rely on attendance to stay afloat more than most countries) the only way of getting money to meet all costs plus the extra ones such as testing for covid is from TV / satellite coverage. Obviously in the UK, the companies ( including the BBC!) are falling over themselves to pay for the EPL and the Championship.......they would have little interest of also paying for all Scottish games, save for the uglies who as usual would get the lions share. For the same reasoning the Div 1 and Div 2 in England opted to end the season.

I'm surprised that the top leagues in France and Holland called it early as I am sure the broadcasters there would have paid well to televise the games.

We will have to wait and see how clubs individual TV systems / channels cope with the increase in numbers who will want to watch when games start again.........ours certainly wasn't good at times and from seeing what fans from other clubs have written, we are not alone. Clubs are now selling "virtual season tickets" to enable the viewing via these channels and Ron Gordon hinted they were looking at improving our system. Many of the clubs fans up here have been superb in buying Season Tickets for next season considering they may not get in till after xmas, however, these sales are still down on a "normal" season and many expenses are still there ( players wages etc) so at present it is a balancing act ..........without the satellite and TV monies we have to cut our cloth accordingly eg: we have mothballed the academy at present.
