We’ll hopefully have everyone in their Cherry

and White singing, but another thing which brings good atmosphere especially with the kids, is seeing themselves on the screens.

Will your camera be linked to the screens Fred?

Could Wayne take photos, from one game and show them at the next prior to kick off/ half time? Faces in the crowd type of thing

Send your own photos in Happy Birthday, Bernie’s bungee, etc.

PARACHUTE JUNP NEXT YEAR

As a curtain raiser into the ground

Dunno it has been tentatively spoken about but I need to see their technology and if mine are compatible, theres one thing for sure I cant afford to change mine

Apparently its for Leigh east and she wants to land on their pitch

I can see an unexpecting golfer getting clobbered

Or if the 'chute fails to open Bernie will get her wish and finally be a part of the town

(sorry Bernie

) and East's Centurions and all the golfers may get the 'overspray'

Thanks Fred I hope they are compatible, the kids (even the big ones

) love it when they're on.

In all seriousness, thats a good point GLOW makes.

How good would that be for kids to see their names up on the screens with a picture of themselves on their birthdays etc, they would be well chuffed.

I don’t always spout rubbish

just usually




To me next years all about getting people there especially the young ones, hopefully the ticket offers and Starbug’s passion wagon will kick start this, once you’ve got them there give them a good time, make it fun, exciting, vibrant, they’ll go back tell their mates and hopefully it’ll snowball.

there is a problem with getting my 'footage' on the main screens apart from the compatability theres an issue of DVDs im 'obliged' to provide the head coach a dvd straight away after the game, and unfortunately everything else becomes secondary to that, and i also have to have a monitor attached to the dvd recorder in order i can finanlise the finished copy, the only solition i have is a powered multi moutput device which unfortunately my dvd recorders think is inputting a 'scrambled' or 'encoded' signal and therefore refuse to copy.
As from next year I will also have to attach a computer to the cameras for purposes of recording, tagging and statistical analysis, so you see it is a bit more technical than just recording your holiday videos



I will have to liase with the relevant people at the lsv when its up and running and see what can be sorted until then its all 'up in the air' sorry but i will try.

Just the person i need. I've come into possesion of an 8mm tape of a band playing at the boars head and want too put it onto DVD but i no longer have a Hi-8 camera too replay the tape is there any other way of transfairing the video???

I remember the 'crowd cam' being a big success at Manchester Storm.

Always a laugh to see people revert to type, even in middle age, and flick the V's at unsuspecting cameramen

Thanks Fred, bit to technical for me, but I do hope it can happen

Like others I can see a lot of people paying their first visit to LSV, but getting them back will be a problem, which for me will not be just down to what happens on the field.

A little scenario for you.

Leigh do a great job and give little Zoe a free season ticket, she’s only 8 and wants to go, Milly her friend from school went last week. So her Dad takes her, they get there early and sit in the family stand, next to Milly, and her Mum and Dad. There’s photos from the last game being shown on the screen of fans all dressed in Cherry and White pulling funny faces, singing etc.

Her Dad says “Oh look your Uncle Glow and Cousins”, Arty pays them a visit in the stand and passes a few sweets around, then he goes and Dances with the dancers on the pitch, he’s funny he can’t do it.

Then there’s a sudden shout and people are stood up waving, you can see them on the screen, “Oh look Dad its us!”

Same thing happens at Half time but they show a photo of Milly because it’s her Birthday, they play Happy Birthday and the people all around Milly join her Mum and Dad singing Happy Birthday to her.

Little Zoe goes home, “Mum it was great we were on the Telly, there were people pulling funny faces, they showed Milly and sang Happy Birthday, can they show me on my Birthday?”

Mum says “Sounds like she enjoyed herself!”
Dad says “Yeah she had a great time, singing and shouting, she wants a shirt now, they all go in Shirts or dressed in Red, it was good you’ll have to come with us next time”

Mum says to Zoe “And did Leigh win?”
Zoe “Dad did we win?”





Will Zoe go again? Will Mum go to the next game? Will little Zoe tell her friends at school? Will she get her shirt? Don’t miss next weeks episode to find out

I understand the concept mate and i for one will be trying to do my 'bit' however the technics at the lsv will be operated by their staff and not mine (that souns a bit outlandish my staff

) or the Centurions, its a wait and see at the moment but I do get your 'drift', the Stadium security/safety officer have already held prelim 'talks 9hey Dave that sounds posh dunnit

) and his thinking isnt a million miles from yours or mine on the subject.

Thats good to hear, lets hope something comes of it, its in the interest of all concerned including the SMC, that the place is as full as possible.

But DID WE WIN THE GAME????







Guess I'll have to get a copy of the video off Fred....

Seriously, good points - obviously we support the team but its lots of little things together that add up to an enjoyable experience rather than putting all the emphasis on 80 minutes of rugby alone - if we do enough of them and do them right the fans will be happy even when we've lost.

We need fans to start enjoying their whole day out again if we're going to get a feelgood factor back and get the crowds in.

No only by having someone with a 8mm camera can do it for you, give me a ring now im at home.

IMO if we are to apply for the next SL franchise, simply playing rugby for 80 minutes and reaching a final will not be enough for us, we need to some how stand out from the rest, and we have an opportunity at our new stadium to offer a match day experience that could be the envy of the RL world.



I'm sure Fred will try his best, lets hope everyone else comes to the party.

the problem i will have on match day is that im a bit busy

and rather a long way from the control room but i'll have further chats with Dave and im sure there is something that can be done but people dont expect to come along on a match day and have your piccy on any screen or even details as i will probably have to provide the info in some digital form prior to the game.

I understand your commitments on matchday would make this difficult for you Fred on top of everything else, but if you could ask the questions and find out if it's possible and whats need, perhaps one of the schools/colleges media department could under take the task?

I'm no technical wiz but I'm prepared to contact the schools/college to see if they would assist, but I'd need to know what I'm asking them

Quite simple mate you go to them and say

[size=200HELP[/size



I wont know until we actually get in there but i'll bear it in mind.

Which is one of the reasons the club need to follow up the free kids season ticket with some free adults tickets for specific games to get them there in the first place

Once there , well then it's up to the club to make it ' fun ' no matter what else happens

This is one of the reasons to lose the flute song and any other swearing or having a go at other clubs songs and chants , hence the new singing rumour



Also the show your colours thread as well is very relevant , we want a sea of red and white , it does make a difference

According to some I'm already in need of Help

tut, tut.
