Now surely this is the best way forward
Only if the stream can be saved on your PC or phone for prosperity and not just a view once affair.

ie, a downloadable mp4 file, not flash or real player streams.

Wrong Mr exec man we`re normal people who want a CD in a plastic wallet at a fiver a pop, I`m still waiting for the Wrexham game. We dont have Plasma tellys and fancy mobile phones. If you want to do something worthwhile then lead the world by making Stanley the only team in the league who doesnt bleed its fans dry with massive mark ups on everything.

Firstly the game is recorded, but the rights are held by both the governing body and the different media partners.

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.

But as you have virtually admitted, the rights to live games are held by Sky via an agreement with the Football League and that has been extended to include the rights to broadcast live games via the internet, so you cannot legally view a live Stanley game through your PC. I'm sure that the same agreement would not allow DVD copies to be made of the full game.

However, the agreement with the Football League allows for live audio coverage via the radio or the internet and for highlights to be shown by the member clubs after a specified interval between the live game and the highlights being shown.

Most Football League clubs currently offer live match commentary (from £19.99 per year) and highlights (from £34.99, including live match commentaries) via their premiumtv sites. An example: Stockport County | World | Buy World | loginOrBuy

Are there any plans to offer the same to Stanley fans? While I dislike the premiumtv sites, it would be very nice to be able to access live match commentaries for every away game and not have to rely on updates every 15 minutes or so on 2br or Radio Lancashire.

Ok two items, All preorders will be ready and waiting at the world choice shop, can collect anytime after 11am saturday, They are now bagged up and ready to go on launch day. No Id is required, just your name and size will do.
We are contractually obliged not to sell in the club shop for a period of time, you will understand the reasons why I'm sure.

More stock will be ordered as and when we require it and will be monitored closely. I don't anticipate at this stage last years scenario.

Secondly, the DVD situation I will stand by. We will look at areas to provide you with DVD's of the games, fair enough, But again only if the demand is there. if its not, then we won't. If the fans want this, then it would be backwards not to comply. So bear with me on this while we work something through.

I would however, rather generate more money for the club via digital download going forward, ( which we don't intend to pass on to the supporter by the way ) sponsorship will lead to more investment into the club. This avenue is crucial,

I'm sure all of us would rather sign top players, and to be fair thats the pinacle of everything we all do, from you guys buying shirts and supporting the club to myself and Rob trying our best to run a buisness and push it forward. The heritage is there, the passion from loyal supporters is definately there, we have a strong base going forward. Hopefully you will notice some changes by the start of the season and that will give you a glimpse of what we think is the best route for the club to go. But we will keep you informed.

No I dont have a plasma screen, Im just a poor accy lad like everyone else. trying to earn a living..

Hope to see you all for the shirt launch on saturday.

Will the club shop be able to accept debit and credit cards on match days this season?

Plasma screen tellies are heavy on lecky and therefore suck from an environmental point of view.
