canadianowl Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Interesting article about a city fan who periscoped the entire Man City vs Palace FA Cup match that was not televised.http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/new-craze-brings-in-140-000-viewers-vfnxn60cg So in relation to Wednesday, would there be any wednesdayite on here who goes to home/away matches that would do the same thing for the rest of us who can't make home matches, and therefore miss out on the 80% of games that aren't otherwise televised? Maybe set up a patreon account for donations for your troubles, I would gladly donate for your inconvenience. Since we aren't a prem club I doubt this would get picked up by big bad SKY who don't televise most of our matches anyway. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Pretty sure there must be something that stops people doing this. A bit like standing at concert filming the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fletchers head guard Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Don't think we can get away with it here if it's the full 90 was big in Italy when it started off though then that got stopped so imagine it's the same here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure it's 100% charged whilst heading to the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave DJ Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I echo what Poite said, I wouldn't want to be the Season Ticket holder that gets in trouble with the club for putting all the games on Periscope and potentially costing the club revenue from people not buying match day tickets on the basis they can watch on Periscope.

Baldrick Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I remember last season there was a Forest fan who streamed most of our game at their place. He left the ground early though when we went 3-0 up and I had to watch his walk home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of the video on my phone is as good if not better than a lot of video cameras. If you enter a building that says "no cameras" you wouldn't get away with saying it's not a camera, it's a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit somewhere else in the ground if anyone challenges you from the club don't talk to them at all. Get chucked out. Not that I'm recommending it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swissowl Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Someone put a game over the Christmas break in Facebook live - I was so happy as I only had my phone with me so no access to a stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trask43 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 There was a guy on twitter who used to do this for a fair few games towards the start of the season havent noticed it on recently though I haven't particular been looking. It wasnt always the greatest and problems like battery cutting out and quality were understandably frequent it was still much appreciated though for fans like me who cant always get due to distance and theres something charming about hearing fans comments and the different camera view that make you miss being there more than watching it on tv does and despite any negative comments it would never replicate actually attending a game. Its only a matter of time though until this becomes more frequent as smart phones cameras and battery life improve it will be impossible to stop just as you cant really top fans filming goals etc now. Clubs or sky need to sort out the legalities of offering a pay per view package before it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
