Reading Rebel Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Looking at the pictures and videos of the completed AP there seems to be a sort of platform that extends out at the top of the west stand which I presume is for a cameraman to perch himself. Does anyone know if we are intending to film the home games this coming season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if we are intending to film the home games this coming season? I'm not sure about any sort of platform as I haven't seen the completed West Stand yet, but can confirm we are in advanced discussions with potential suppliers to film home league games (and certain cup games).

staines_rebel_Jr Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 There is a platform just above the players tunnel with a power supply. As far as I know until the official handover was complete it wasn't decided what it was for. It may still be used as a press area and somewhere for Adrian to broadcast Rebels Radio from (he almost certainly will do it from somewhere in the main stand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's excellent news. Matt if you look at the videos that are available there is clearly visible an extended platform as SRJ say's at the top of the west stand above the tunnel.

Reading Rebel Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 It would certainly be nice to have something in place for the West Brom game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Carpenter Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Not to sure but wouldn't the use of this platform impede the sight lines of the folk sitting in at least the top row and possibly 2nd top row in the stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Rebel and a Saint Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I agree about the WBA game. I also think it would be good to have the Wycombe game filmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably block the view of the two seats next to it but that is all. Edit - my memory was wrong. Just looked at this photo and the platform is the same level as the top row but it won't block much view just the corner flag for those sat next to it. https://mobile.twitter.com/sloughtownfc/status/875671588758327296/photo/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staines_rebel_Jr Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The problem is and always has been cost to film. Though I notice under the sponsorship opportunities there is an option to sponsor filming and have your company logo appear on the highlights all season for £3k.

David Carpenter Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks for your replies SRJ. Cost is of course a problem. I notice that on a second look you agree that their could be some obstruction of sight lines for some of those sitting in the upper seats. I am just suggesting that in equity this should be looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
