We shall also cover the u20's wherever possible but unless we get some more volunteers especially for commentary duties on the u20's games we cant promise that they will have a commentary.
So unless we can get more volunteers to assist us in filming and producing (we have plenty of ideas) these features they will be limited, we also need certain equipment for instance a couple of flood lights a set of at least two radio lapel microphones as for some strange reason some of the guests do not like speaking into an ordinary mic.
It's a new adventure for us we are having teething troubles - for one I was at fault for releasing the game early I had my reasons but that's an internal matter that has been dealt with - but we will get it right. But all first team games will only appear on the Wednesday following the weekend game - this is 1. to allow me time to edit, process and upload the game to our server, 2. So our other championship clubs cant complain we are in effect dissuading our supporters from travelling to their grounds for our away games and 3. to stop any complaints from the RFL and their broadcast partners (not that they have or would in both 2 & 3).
So Im sorry if people think that's not good enough for the money but we never promised anything else, as for highlights unfortunately that takes time and when I have it I will do them as in HD it takes far longer and is more computer intense than ordinary DV eg about an hour in DV and upwards of 3 hrs for HD, so what with processing the match video for the coaching staffs DVDs and memory sticks - my main concern TBH as it is that that helps the players and coaches to do their jobs more effectively - in DV and then transcoding the game editing it and uploading it in HD, you can see time on a Sunday night is at a premium and sometimes is a sleepless night on a Sunday.
Not complaining there just explaining if I was complaining id wouldn't do it.
Ive heard people trying to compare it with Wigans service but the difference there is they had a set uip budget that would have bought us the best team of rugby players in the Championship, where as our set up costs have been met with sponsorship and monies from us that are inviolved,and they employ a team of two full time to produce their features -though I will argue our match coverage is better than theirs (but then again I would wouldn't I
) where as we are dependant on volunteers and there are not enough of us.
The above is not an excuse as I believe its well worth the money personally, it's an honest reason.'"
I can only congratulate everyone involved Fred ,its a great service and all for ONLY £3.50 a month ,theres nothing to complain about imho.

| No worries all anyone has to do is ask or email the club and if you dont get a reply as part of the communications 'team' I will find out why, I think Alan (when he gets back off his hols in a fortnight) is going to be the liaison with this website, I was found not to be diplomatic enough I wonder why.

| Apologies for the rant, thanks to all concerned for what I'm sure will be well worth the money. Had wondered why the Fev game was available first thing Sunday morning (I missed it) and then removed from the site, so thanks for the explanations Fred.

| Quick question Fred. The video rerun and subsequent DVD they are showing and selling at Fev tonight. Is that your video or their own produced by their cameraman?

I think Fev have been a tad sneaky and used Freds but I stand to be corrected.

It is Fred's DVD - it was given, intended for 'coach's use only'. However, Fev assure me they aren't charging to show the DVD this evening - it'll just be their bar that makes the profits then!

| It stated they would be for sale afterwards at a cost of £5 on their twitter feed and official site. That doesn't sound much like coaches use.

| Hi Rugbyballs,
Thanks for your feedback, its a bit like digital banking if you login then close your browser when you go to the site again you are requested to login again. This is for security purposes as personal details are held within your account.
If you have a solution we are always open to them
Thanks
Saley

| Thanks for the reply.
Have no problem with leaving the site and having to log in again. Problem is when I'm already logged in and wish to view something. Then I'm asked to log in again.

| Just checked again and didn't happen this time. Maybe it's when I have been logged on for quite a while but not been actually active on the site?
