Televised Matches?

[Rick the Dick]

I see there's talk on the Ryman Forum about some sort of TV deal that the Ryman League have entered into. Appears to be optional for the constituant clubs. Anyone know any more details?

RYMAN LEAGUE SIGN UP TO BR0ADBAND DEAL

 

The Ryman League has been given the go ahead by its Clubs to sign Heads of Agreement for its Broadband and Internet Protocol Television rights for the next three seasons.

 

This will mean the start of "Ryman TV" and from the start of next season there will be a "Match of the Week" every week during the playing season of some 40 minutes in length which registered users will be able to access within 48 hours of the final whistle of that game. Footage supplied by Member Clubs will also be incorporated.

 

Throughout the season two live games each month will be broadcast on a pay per view basis at a cost of £3.95.

 

Additionally Ryman League matches will be broadcast to pubs and clubs on a Saturday to fill the "gap" between the lunchtime and teatime live matches.

 

At their recent AGM Clubs were given a presentation setting out the principal objects of the Agreement and some details of the requirements of the Clubs so that the company filming matches will not be given a worse vantage point than the clubs own filming team and clubs not taking their film crew to away matches. For the first time Club Managers will be required to be available for post-match interviews.

 

The income from this agreement is quite substantial with an average of £100,000 per season being paid to the League over the three seasons.

 

Additional income will be available to the Clubs individually for those featured on the live matches and for those wanting DVDs of matches for retail sale.

 

Commenting, Chairman Alan Turvey said "This is ground breaking area for the League. In the 50's matches from this League were shown on television but now we have a chance to elevate the profile of the League so that enthusiasts worldwide can watch our level of football through the Internet".

That's great news for the Ryman League.

And I understand that the company responsible for the filming has placed an order for high power zoom lenses, so obviously the mighty Clarets and Melbourne Park will be featuring at some time during the season.

No, you're confused BC. That's Crimewatch.

Don't think so Rick - the only crime committed at MP in the past few months was the "daylight robbery" which took place 20 seconds from the end of the play-off semi final in May!

To those that don't understand the previous post...read "day light robbery" as "a goal was scored in with 20 seconds of play by a team that, even though they were down to 10 players, didn't give up"...

 

No "daylight robbery" was involved...

 

It was noted though that, Chris Whelpdale, did remove his "balaclava" after said goal was scored...

[Balmoral Claret]

Err...thanks for clarifying my posting for those who may not have understood it Gazza. Would they have been the hundreds of Ricay supporters who couldn't bother to travel the 10 miles in order to witness the great occasion?

[GazzaBTFC]

No...I just didn't wish those supporters who did witness the occassion get confused by a report by someone who was over 250 miles away at the time.

Nice try BC...nice try

[Balmoral Claret]

Oh!, I see. I certainly wouldn't want to be held responsible for confusing Ricay supporters Gazza. Thanks for clarifying the point!

We went, We played, We Won.

[GazzaBTFC]

Simply put BB...simply put.

 

But so correct.
