Yes John coleman gets a copy, but that is contractual anyway, its an agreement so to speak,
We cannot just burn and run a DVD off and sell it, Basically I wont pass off unboxed DVD's as merchandise and charge a £5 for it.
The club wants to move on and look at different media avenues. Mobile technology, Internet based media, Not (and no offence) selling DVD's in a plastic wallet for a £5 a pop.
I would rather pay £5 and have a live game streamed through my PC or mobile which I could hook up to to a Plasma TV in my front room, for a full season than buy a DVD. You wouldn't even need to come down and buy it, You could click your mouse and recieve it there and then. (potentially)
Now surely this is the best way forward

Living 87 miles away I managed 12 Stanley Games last season - 6 home and 6 away. I am all in favour of some affordable initative whether it be mail order DVD's or live link ups to help fill the inevitable gaps and bring revenue to the club.
