Today is our 6th away game in 10 league games, our 4th in 5 games.
If it wasn't for CL games you could easily forget what the inside of CP looks like.
Of the 6 away games in 10 we'll have been to Ibrox, Pittodrie, Tynecastle, Spaghettihad, Fir Park and Easter Road today. In what way is that a fair and evenly distribution of games. The fact we are 7 points clear, and they now have the difficult run of away games until the winter break is irrelevant, the whole league set up and fixtures is a nonsense (eg the likelihood is we'll end up playing someone away 3 times this season, last season we played Aberdeen at home 3 times).
Moving games for TV is something we have no control over, that's what happens when you take a shit deal and hand control over to a broadcaster with very little interest in the league with the exception of 4 games a season.

The whole thing is amateurish and pathetic. The distribution of difficult away matches looks to be anything but random.
The way the split operates too is terrible. I'd prefer a 16 side top league playing each other home and away.
Failing that then why not have the split after the 2nd round of fixtures? All 12 clubs plays each other home and away, then the top 6 play each other home & away for the title, and the bottom 6 do the same to determine relegation. This removes 6 midweek fixtures from an over-congested campaign, which often suffer lower attendances anyway.
(The "winner" of the bottom 6 can even visit the top 6 Europa Conference placed side at the end of the season in a play-off for European football if you want to give them some interest in the 2nd half of the season if they are well safe from relegation???)

Teams won't vote to reduce the number of home games. A league of 16, probably the ideal number giving 30 games, is a reduction of 4 home games for each team. Will teams reduce season ticket prices by 20% since that is the reduction in home games?
A league of 14, split after 26 games into either 7 and 7, or 6 and 8, and play each other another twice would keep the number of home games the same or at least closer to what they currently are.
The issue with the split just now is it builds inequality into the fixtures for every team, you are not playing every team the same number of times home and away.
