Commentary

OK then, if the FL require a cut/% of the membership (including radio broadcasts), drop the Membership fee ! :D Then all those Ex-members once a year buy say a ..... Stanley Start of season/end of season one off magazine for say .... A Fiver (sound about right so far ;)).

Included in the mag would be interviews, team poster, news & info, a voucher for in store use or at the chippy & perhaps some kind of .... collectors card for whatever the season is which states your proud allegiance to Stanley & that you've bought their magazine in support of this fine traditional Club. (if you must call it a supporters club card for want of a better word well so be it.:))
 
Folks as disappointed as U are; points to bear in mind

Nothing to do do with the FA ( Football Association)

The way I'm reading this the Football League (the League in which ASFC have a Golden Share and play 46 games a year) are our paymasters and guiders.

The amout of cash we get from them is Superb and the benefits are as good.

Whilst this decisions is disappointing, lets please look at the bigger picture:)

Upwards and onwards!! ( if we rejoin the Unibond, sorry Evostick, this service would be OK!!!)

I know where I'm proud to be:cool:
 
Ok taking into the account the points made by Mr T n DiG then what is needed is a set of talks between the club B2R and the FL. If the FL wants to broaden the appeal of clubs then this might be the way forward. Buy a season ticket for the matches which the 3 parties involved agree on and it can be coded in the same way a pay per view program film etc is on tv. The cost would have to be such that no one is out of pocket as a priority. There should be the same kind of set up for those that attend home matches to buy an away only ticket.

It will be a legal mine field for part of it but if for arguments sake it was in place for next season who would buy into it? I say next season so that it could have all the wrinkles out of the way. I do not know how much hassle it would be but if it can be done then our little big club could start something that will be picked up by other clubs. Many supporters of many teams cannot make matches but still want the "afternoon buzz" when their side plays. The net is a perfect platform to broaden a clubs appeal the same way as Sky was for the premiership clubs.

I say embrace it push it forward and give us what we want. :jimbo:
 
A quick trawl round most PL & FL League Clubs will reveal that most of these services include live audio commentary, player interviews, exclusive news, extended match highlights via each Clubs player.

There seems to be a set fee either monthly or yearly for these services and then the question would be who runs the media side of things for the Club?

It is a big question does the Club give up some of it's individuality with it's own website and other things to pursue a different route?

I suppose the other thing that may come into play is numbers who would actually use such a service or pay for such a service would it make it economically viable?

Could possibly advertisements or sponsorship come into play to help pay for such a venture?

As Mr. T correctly points out we are also members of an elite group of football Clubs that are members of the Football League something that took us forty four years to achieve and to those ends we may feel hard done by the descision but the FL do have all the members interest's at it's heart.
 
Possibly sponsorship is the way forward.

todays football seems to have a nevermind the customers/charge for everything attitude. I wonder if the FL would allow sponsorship of the commentary. This could be yearly/per season/monthly/per match whichever works. A regular sponsor advert/message during the commentary. The FL could have their cut. The club could have a cut. The people that really matter could have their commentary back.

We must be the only Football League Club that does not have radio coverage for a game.

You may be onto something there, is the way round it actual live broadcasing by the local radio station or would that have to operate in the same way?

I think 2BR have always had the choice of covering the games but commercially I don't think they found it viable

I used to listen to away games on 2BR but they took that away. I can`t see them back-tracking. The same way works for me, but is not necessarily available to everybody. Not every body goes on the internet.
 
There has to be ways to do it that satisfies all with minimal costs. I cant believe in this day and age we struggle to get a match broadcast that has the potential to be world wide.

100% agree, see me comment in The Person Beneath Me.;)
 
Stanley could always sell our soul to the "player" option but i have no idea how this works or the financial consequences to the club and also to us fans?

I don't think you want to go down that route. I'm sure I've heard that if you don't hit a certain target the club will have to make up the shortfall for the costs. The 'player' thing is something that has evolved through the 'licensed' website situation that you see most clubs have ( I think 82 clubs are under that system ). They are so tied in they can't get themselves out without massive financial penalties.

For anyone interested the rule covering audio broadcasting is rule 70.1 of the football league regualtions.
The Football League | About Us | Regulations | Regulations Detail | SECTION 7: BROADCASTING & SPONSORSHIP

Whilst it tells you the rule it doesn't mention how each club can sell ( or the cost involved ) a licence for local radio to broadcast. There must be something because 2BR have done it in the past with Stanley and Burnley.

I think everybody has missed the obvious. Whilst I can understand everyone's dismay at the way the league tie up the clubs, the club have yet again either been ignorant of a league rule or chosen to ignore it. Hopefully the league are satisfied the service has stopped and and take no further action........... or will they ?
