To be fair I used to spend a couple of hours on them but always took a bit of pride in doing a good job. That said I still normally had them edited, uploaded and scheduled for publishing by 9pm. Happy to help, however you’d presume BPM’s review must have highlighted most these issues.

Agree with this point however while the cameraman and commentators are volunteers, these days the highlights are edited (and live stream run) by one of the club’s paid media officers.

I was responsible for highlights for many years until the end of 2020/21, the ones below were from the same camera that is still used today (the one that you recommend ahead of the Covid season) and I recorded and edited in 4k. The quality is night and day to what they are producing now, the only reason I can presume is that they are editing from a copy of the live stream rather than by taking a recording directly from the camera - presumably to save time as replays will already be made for them. Personally I would rather they spent an extra hour editing to get that quality or the quality @LeodhasXD produces for Alloa now as they are miles ahead of ours. I did get my hopes up when I saw “high quality highlights” mentioned but sadly no change.

Home clubs own the UK rights to their home games this season. Each club owns their own overseas rights (as they always have done) so both clubs can broadcast to overseas subscribers.

I was involved in running the 50/50 from the beginning through to the end of last season. Yes PayPal was a more expensive provider than some other options but with that you are paying for PayPal’s reputation and ease of use which was clearly demonstrated in the over £100k it raised. There are a lot of things we can criticise at the club but is payment provider for the 50/50 really the most pressing issue? A bigger issue is how we are going to make ends meet now? Sammy might fill some of Alex’s income but that will take time to develop those relationships however you are still left without the majority of your commercial income that was generated by KK. Yes I enjoyed working with him, but whatever your opinion is that it is a lot of sales to replace at a time when we seem to be spending money left, right and centre off the field.

Should have arrived now if you bought before 5pm. Any late purchases will be picked up tomorrow morning.

Those who have an existing monthly or yearly FTV subscription and kept this running over lockdown will have this honoured - however this is closed to new subscribers. Prices for home game pay-per-views are being considered by the club just now and season ticket value will be one of the factors considered.

I’ve got almost every game back to 2009/10 in the archive. We used to do a classic match every week in the early days, from an old collection of Sportscene/scotsport video tapes. Will need to look into digging these out and check what the licensing restrictions are on these.

Different rules for Cup games, can’t show highlights until after Sportscene has finished or 24 hours after the game if Sportscene isn’t on (like last night).

Good spot, my mistake. Certainly not in a position to call anyone dire!
