McRightSide Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Great question. 1) Figure out some way of getting a reliable audio stream - seems to work fine with other commentaries, just not ours. 2) Use our commentary team all the time instead of Radio Sheffield 3) Sharpen the focus on match re-runs 4) Show replays on match re-runs 5) Show more behind the scenes stuff. Not dullarse interviews, but more of the players training, more about their routine etc and finally... 7) Scoreboard updates to flash across the screens in the match re-runs too. ssssshhhhhhhhhhh ... t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2Owl Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 For a start I would make it work for 90 mins. It's been better over recent weeks but it's 23 games too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordyowl Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Use a camera that's better than the webcam they currently use for highlights and make sure the 'live' commentary is working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's reyt annoying when you see we've scored on SSN then it takes another 30 seconds before the commentary catches up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Make it compatible with iOS devices and show videos in a higher resolution. In comparison to Internet 'tubes' and catchup tv, Wednesday Player is light years behind. I would also suggest more and varied content. Maybe video blogs from various players or coaches, regular features from first team and academy coaches, and videos from non-first team matches. Maybe a 'fans corner' where fans can comment on various matches, signings, etc. The iOS compatibility and the video quality do really need sorting though. It's is 2013 after all.

Chriss Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 ^ ^ ^ This. Higher quality videos. I realise they are okay at the moment, but I'm just being picky. Also as said above for mobile phones but would use alot of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2Owl Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 How about a weekly feature- 'Down town with Gary'. They follow Gary Madine down town to Viper Rooms etc and video him on a night out. The highlights then get uploaded once a week. Or even better they could stream it live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppuxfmu_QKo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 As already said better quality highlights videos. Player commentary seems to be better since the introduction of the old style player. How about coverage of academy matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swinners Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Make sure it just works properly. 1-stats up to date on a minute refresh (no point in having this function otherwise) 2- real time (no 'click old player to be up to date...) 3- use commentary teams from specific clubs and not just lazy radio links. Really don't turn in to 'let's go around the grounds' and talk about everyone else. When you go to Hillsborough you don't get ghd old smart phone out after 10 mins toget highlights of other bloody games. 4- never lose the bleedin link to the game your listening to. 5- do something at half time. Listening to background conversations and white noise for 10 mins takes the wee wee somewhat. 6- start way before the match for a match day experience, re run of the weeks interviews, etc. 2 mins before a match is rubbish. Can't even figure out if its working or not. That for just a start. Great concept of an idea, but rubbish at the moment!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctpgrant Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 It certainly needs to be more of an experience especially on matchdays. There's no real incentive to turn on until 3pm. And then after the game too. Have something to fill in the initial 15/20mins after the game and then grab interviews with players/staff. Reading out emails from supporters with reaction to the game that's just taken place. Even taking phone calls if viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyowl Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Have the scores and stats updated quicker. Also, the "live league table" is rarely ever live. This Saturday gone the Peterborough score updated, but their points tally never changed over the ninety minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 tip for people when player goes off just select the opposition stream that will work most of the time then reselect ours and it works god knows why but it just does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
