100% agree with you, an opportunity missed and an area we are poorly performing at, Featherstone are releasing video’s features players profiles multiple times a day and they put a lot of the SL clubs to shame with the professionalism and frequency their media (and social media) updates.
I pay for trin TV as it’s another way of supporting the club along with my commit 6, platinum season ticket, player sponsorship and voluntary work, but it’s an area of the clubs profile along with its inconsistent and fragmented social media presence that could easily be improved (at very little cost) and would have a positive effect for the club.
Exactly, it's the least expensive and most effective way of promoting the club.
I am right now offering. at no cost to the club, a willingness to look at ways to improve Trinity TV. I'm happy to set it up, maintain it, and upgrade it as required. It would take time as I'm not fully conversant with the set up as of now but I'm willing and will become able, I have the time and at least some of the know-how and it can all be done without me or anyone else leaving their seat, other than Terry and the cameraman,
I have no issue with the presentation of either the game coverage or the other content, that to me is fine but just a bit sparse at present. It just needs weaving together in a coherent and professional style, one that will attract more subscribers and perhaps even some local advertising revenue.
Things I'd like to do.
1: Easy on-demand access by team and date match archive. Also, on the most recent matches (last three seasons) and all future matches add a score/time panel at the bottom or at the top of the screen, and a stats panel at the end of the match.
2: A week that was, all interviews and other article bundled into a single programme at the end of every week and then also made available as an on-demand product, as Sky do. Note this would be the best vehicle to sell or offer existing sponsors advertising in.
3: Speciality on-demand documentaries - Player profiles - Season by season highlights - Classic matches, at least as far back as the 1960's all are available and many copyright-free - Training and fitness videos for young players and for the general public using players and the clubs coaching staff (if they are up for it and capable). Please add any more ideas.
4: The club shop can also promote products and special offer, it's not difficult, get somebody reasonably athletic to wear it and film it on a mobile phone, it doesn't take much technology these days to create a reasonable product.
5: Make home academy games on-demand, say £1.99 a match, all proceeds to the Club 1873, I reckon a fair few would pay that.
6: Finally the zoom meetings, there is no reason why these can't be broadcast almost live, with say a 10-minute delay for obvious reasons, so that those who don't wish to take part can none the less watch the proceeding nearly live, like a newscast.
A lot of this already exists to be fair, it just needs pulling together and packaging properly.
Anybody any other ideas please add, I am no expert on this or much else for that matter.
The truth is there may even be people on here far better qualified than I am, they may not have the time but they do have the expertise to help.
Trinity TV could be a real platform to be exploited and I just don't think it has been as of yet. Not a criticism at all and I understand it's not a priority for a small club, which is why I'm offering to look at it. I accept that some of what I have suggested may not be possible but we can only know that when we try.
