Filming of Matches ?

[CeeJay]

Apologies in advance if this subject has been covered previously, but is it true that we don't have anyone filming our games ? If so, is this:

 

1. For contractural reasons

 

2. There isn't anywhere in the ground with an unobstructed, high enough, central view

 

3. Because the club don't have access to a video camera

 

4. Because no-one is prepared to do the filming

 

 

It just seems to me that film of games could be useful to Andy and, you never know, the club could put together a 'Highlights of the Season' tape for sale !!!

 

 

Just a thought.

 

 

Come On You Reds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think this was talked about before and nobody was doing it because of the costs and the fact they couldnt guarentee they wouldnt celebrate when we scored,if the club was paying im sure somebody would do it but it would be just another thing eating away at andy's budget. For the record i'd buy a highlights of the season tape, not a bad idea.

At the beginning of the season I did put out a request for someone to contact the club with a view to videoing all of the home matches.

 

It seems nothing came of it.

Problem for me is not always being able to get to games, but I do have a somewhat elderly video camera (in full working order !) which I would be prepared to make available to the club to use at no cost.

 

As far as someone doing the recording, possibly that could be done on some sort of rota basis, or maybe the club could offer free entry for whoever does the filming for that particular game ?

I saw someone in the seated stand with a sony digi-cam (or similar) filming the match...!

 

BTW Are you meant to pay to get in the seated stand, because me and my mate just strolled in expecting somebody to approach us but we got in for free. We bought 3 matchday lottery tickets each to make up for it though...

I think officially you're supposed to pay but in practice it seems few people do.

1st off hi all- my 1st post

 

To answer this query - Yes the matches are being filmed.

 

I was asked by club earlier in season to fulfil this task as requested by league. It appears this is required in the event of 'incidents' requiring video ev.

 

Yes they should be available to Andy as I pass on copies to Rob Grindley.

 

As for 'highlights'!!! I don't have the means to mass produce, we'll have to see!

 

Been visiting for quite a while and have had many a chuckle but have had to come out of hiding to answer this thread.

Many thanks for your post, clears that one up nicely.
