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".

Doesnt require a genius to realise this will not work!

[Pagey]

If it is like the NLP most the coverage will be of wimbledon

[I am Spartacus]

Could be interesting as to the intreputation of the "Broadcast Rights".

 

Do they for example include internet radio media as used by us and that other team in Kingston. If they do it would surley be of detremnet to our exciled fans and, the good it does the club publicity with visiting teams whose fans cannot make away fixtures.

[Frankie100]

Does that effect our coverage on local radio????

 

Cue a general slagging off of Radio Kent............

[Boney Crisp]

also each team gets £1 from each game shown i believe.

Obviously Wimbledon will be shown more. just like Manchester United are shown the most on sky, why would a company broadcast Leyton V Harlow, when they could televise Wimbledon V Hendon and attract ten times as many people?

 

Also, would this service be setup if Wimbledon were in the Conference South? I don't think so.
