SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE
PRESS RELEASE
11 August 2010 For Immediate Release
MORE NEW DEALS ANNOUNCED AHEAD OF SEASON KICK OFF
The Scottish Premier League (SPL) today announced a raft of new commercial deals ahead of the
forthcoming season. These deals were approved by the clubs at Friday’s General Meeting.
For the next two seasons, STV have acquired the rights to use SPL footage across their daily new
bulletins and their Sports Centre programme broadcast ahead of each weekend’s fixtures. STV will
also be assisting the SPL to produce over 100 matches each season and manage their archive
content going back to 1998.
Radio Clyde meanwhile have secured goalflash rights for 2010/11. This will mean that their
listeners will be kept up to speed with all the action on match days from around the grounds on
Clyde 1 and Clyde 2 Superscoreboard.
In addition, William Hill will become the SPL’s ‘Official Betting Partner’, a first for the league. This
deal will see William Hill’s latest promotions featured on the SPL official website –

advertising air-time across Radio Clyde and STV’s sports programming.
Separately, a deal has been struck with Moray Firth Radio (MFR) to broadcast live commentary at
all Inverness Caledonian Thistle games in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League next season.
Neil Doncaster, Chief Executive of the SPL, commented, “We’ve been working hard over the
summer to pull together a range of commercial deals. So, it is really pleasing that we are able to
announce them ahead of the big kick off on Saturday.
“We’ve had to be creative in how we have structured some of these deals but by doing this we have
been able to deliver. Our key aims have been to drive more investment into the league, and in turn
our clubs, and to broaden the coverage of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. We look forward
to working with MFR, William Hill, Radio Clyde and STV to do so in the coming season.”
William Hill Operations Controller Scotland, Brian McColgan, commented, “William Hill are delighted
to become the SPL’s first official betting partner. As Scotland’s major bookmakers, and the
industry’s longest established and most innovative company, we are keen to emphasise our
commitment to promoting and supporting Scottish football through our 300+ branches in Scotland
and via our online presence, which has a worldwide following. Together we can raise and enhance
the profile of Scottish football.”
Bobby Hain, MD of Broadcasting at STV, said: “We’re delighted to be working in partnership with
the SPL. We’re ideally placed to provide them with a range of key services and today’s deal allows
us to provide football fans across Scotland with a dedicated Clydesdale Bank Premier League
football show every Friday evening, in addition to our weeknight Sports Centre updates.”
Head of News and Sport at Radio Clyde, Lorraine Herbison, said, “We are thrilled to have secured
this deal with the SPL and know this is sure to prove a real highlight for our avid listeners in
Glasgow and the west of Scotland. Superscoreboard has some great personalities on the
programme and has a really loyal following.
“Securing the goalflash rights, allowing us to go round the grounds, underlines our commitment to
bringing the best in sports coverage direct to our listeners and enhances the show even further.
The new look programme launched on Monday night and was also the debut show for Jim
Delahunt, our new anchor. It is already proving very popular with our listeners.”
Danny Gallagher, Managing Director at MFR said: “I am absolutely delighted to have negotiated this
deal with the SPL for our listeners. Many have made it known that they would love MFR to follow the
first division champions as they move back up to the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for a disappointing turnout at Wembley of between 40,000 and 49,999 fans for England’s friendly against Hungary from 20/1 to 6/4 after taking a flood of bets that the official attendance will be extremely low. Hills have also cut 30,000 – 39,999 from 66/1 to 3/1, and a humiliating 20,000- 29,999 from 100/1 to 16/1. ‘The FA are pulling out all the stops to encourage a decent turnout for this game,but with most clubs wishing it wasn’t happening and fans having shelled out for club season tickets, and following such a dismal World Cup performance, punters have decided a low turnout is a certainty’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Bookies Running Scared Of Blackpool

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

BOOKIES RUNNING SCARED OF BLACKPOOL
BLACKPOOL fans have staked so many bets on their side to WIN the Premier League title this season that William Hill have had to slash their odds by a record EIGHT THOUSAND points in their betting – and now offer them at 2000/1 to win the title, having opened their book at 10,000/1. ‘We now face our biggest ever Premier League loss of OVER £5million if Blackpool somehow manage to win the League after hundreds of fans backed their side -albeit none of them risked more than a tenner’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We won’t be losing much sleep over the prospect of that five million loss – at least, not until Blackpool win their first half dozen matches!’
Meanwhile, Hills say that they are in the bizarre position of wanting the reigning champions to do well this season, as they have taken very little cash for Chelsea to win the title again – and they currently represent the BEXT possible outcome for them. ‘We will win a hefty sum if Chelsea retain the title as the betting stands at the moment’ added Sharpe.
The second worst result for Hills would be a title triumph for Aston Villa – ‘most of those bets were struck before O’Neill walked out’- while Manchester United would be the third worst result for them, as they have attracted the largest bets so far – one of £10,000 from a Glasgow-based punter and a £6000 bet from a Norwich client.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL PREMIER LEAGUE ODDS…….13/8 Chelsea, 12/5 Man Utd, 9/2 Man City, 6/1 Arsenal, 14/1 Liverpool, 25/1 Tottenham, 100/1 Everton, 200/1 Aston Villa, 500/1 Newcastle, 1000/1 Fulham, 1000/1 West Ham, 1000/1 Sunderland, 2000/1 Blackpool, 2000/1 Blackburn, 2000/1 Birmingham, 2000/1 Stoke, 2000/1 Wigan, 2000/1 Bolton, 2000/1 Wolves, 2000/1 West Brom.

Rooney 12/1 not to score for England in next 4 games:
WHEN WILL ROONEY SCORE AGAIN FOR ENGLAND?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Wayne Rooney will fail to score for England in any of their next four matches. ‘Rooney is overdue an England goal and we make him 8/13 to get one or more against Bulgaria in the next game but he is 12/1 to continue his drought for the next four England games’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills also offer 9/2 that Rooney will NOT start the game against Bulgaria – 1/8 that he will do.

When will Rooney next score for England?
vs Bulgaria (H)8/13
vs Switzerland (A)10/3
vs Montenegro (H)9/2
vs Wales (A)12/1

16/1 England Starting Line Up Versus Hungary To Turn Out Against Bulgaria

16/1 ENGLAND FRIENDLY LINE UP TO START NEXT COMPETITIVE MATCH

DESPITE Capello’s introduction of new blood into the squad for the friendly v Hungary, William Hill offer 16/1 that he will start with the same line up in the next competitive match v Bulgaria, as he opts for against the Hungarians. ‘The squad for this friendly could well prove to be a false dawn for those expecting a mass cull of the established players when Capello decides on his line up for the first Euro qualifier’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And we certainly do not expect to see the same line up then – our best guess is that seven or eight who start v Hungary will also do so against Bulgaria.’

WILLIAM HILL have cut the odds for a Wembley attendance of between 60,000 – 69,999 from 7/2 to 15/8 as forecasts for the crowd at the England – Hungary friendly became a little more optimistic, and Hills also shortened the odds for 50,000 to 59,999 from 9/4 to 15/8 joint favourite.
‘Noone seems sure whether fans will actually boycott the game, or want to take up his apparent invitation to boo the side, or perhaps even relent after Capello brought new blood into the squad and want to show their absolute satisfaction with his handling of the team’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

CHELSEA are 6/5 favourites with William Hill to win more major trophies than Manchester United, who are 13/8 to do vice versa. Hills offer 5/2 that they win an equal number. (Community Shield excluded; Europa League included along with Prem; FA and Carling Cups; Champions League)
