Thank you for your constructive comments. It means a lot to me.

At the moment Fax TV has been left to me to work with at the moment with no budget at all so I am using what I have got.

If you guys like what I am doing, please let the club know so I can gain your support officially. Once I get your support, I might be able to get some budget for a better camera and a microphone - unfortunately I expect it is not the clubs main priority at the moment for obvious reasons.

I am also thinking of doing a little after show, if anyone watches Sky F1, like Ted's Notebook. I want to ask the questions you want. The interview with Karl felt very different to the answers he gave BBC Leeds for example.

Also I will be trying to spend some time with the players grilling them for answers.

If the club had any ambition then it wouldnt be a case of having to have a budget, Fax TV would pay for itself. It seems the club is still living in the 90`s which is strange when we supposedly have this PR guru in charge.

Anyway its obvious you are keen tiran and I thought the interview after the game was good apart from the location but Ive posted feedback on a number of threads about the direction I think the club should go with this. Will they listen, will they even bother reading? Doubtful.

The PR guru I assume you mean Alex Simmons - he has gone to Bulls.

Location - point taken and I need better kit including microphones.

Does this forum fancy sponsoring me and Fax TV for the rest of season? Just a thought.

Sorry I probably should have said media guru.

I think there's about 10 people who have said they would subscribe if it were done right. That's about £350 to start with and I should imagine there's a few company's would pay for sponsorship on the site. Copy Leigh's idea it's pretty good.

The Kit doesn't seem too bad, I don't think anyone expects or wants Sky Sports HD standard. The microphones work, the camera works etc. The ambient noise levels are the only real negative. Location Location Location!!!!

This next point will probably be controversial, but why should the forum or the fans sponsor Fax TV? We already put plenty into the club on matchday, Entry fee, programme, a few beers in the bar, a burger and chips. Replica shirt, hoody, rain jacket, hat, (all x2 as my son gets the same).

Paying a minimal fee for a subscription to it isn't too drastic but surely the overheads for this venture are minimal!!!

Anyway, I stand by to be called a numpty.
Cheers

Yes but the overheads are my personal overheads at the moment. I understand your point though.

We need microphones to be heard better I feel too.

Location for yesterday, well it was quiet until Crusaders staff didn't notice the camera. Oh well, we learn or I learn I should say.

Point taken, if the camera, microphones are yours and you need better ones, then the club should provide replacements.
But I still feel, in the right, quiet location, the microphones you have are fine.

Overall its just good to see a bit of behind the scenes interviews etc, well done

I don`t think Tiran is suggesting that the sponsorship / donations should be compulsary ,so all the people some time back who suggested "they would pay for a service like this " and queeried " Leigh have this why can`t we " if they wish to contribute then I think it`s fair enough .
I think fair play to Tiran he`s followed through with his own initiative and is trying it out to see if it would work and I say well done for that . If it was me I would carry on doing what your doing for a few more weeks without yet asking for members in order to generate interest especially if you are going to the away games
( or would this require more personel expenses ?) Then ask for members to contribute maybe it`s not the best of times to generate money but I for one admire tremendously anyone who doesn`t say "can`t be done " but "how can we do it "
we must try to get the feel good factor back . It might be an idea also if any business could have an idea of the cost but I would think having an advert popping up on the programme shown would be quite good exposure .
By the same token anyone who thinks they already pay enough towards the Club with various things especially as times are tough so it`s understandable, don`t have to contribute but even they might know a small business willing to take a punt .We could all help in some way .

Selling some sponsorship for Fax TV could be beneficial, and help buy equipment if needed.

From what I've seen its alright, its not a well polished silky smooth production like sky have, but its no worse than what premier sports did either! Its early days, it can only improve. Perhaps an appeal to fans who have experience in this sort of thing or are doing a related college course could be beneficial?

As for Alex Simmons, no great loss. Big mouth, no action. I remember a few months ago I said on here he seemed more bothered about the bulls only to be told that Fax came first, that lasted didnt it? Was only out for himself. I'd rather see hard working dedicated people at the club, something we're lucky we're not short of.

Well I think I have sourced a new microphone and I have organised some features for the coming weeks.

Funding - it was only and off the cuff idea I will continue plodding on.

Regarding local collages and so forth - lots of stuff talked about but very little action so I decided to give it a go. For those who don't know by now, I have hosted a radio show for nearly 10 years now so I have experience interviewing but the video editing knowledge with the polish is my downfall.

Keep watching guys and I will do my best.
