Tom has little choice as the club have done nothing as usual, and Tom was funding it himself to the tune of 1000s each season and hours and hours of free-time prior to this season.

You mention your average fan. Your average fan will indeed pay for goals, £15 on the gate. Don't recall you doing that often, if at all.

A bit harsh. As I understand it Wings TV is run by supporters who give up their time to do this. There was an opportunity to raise some much needed money. Getting if for free was a bonus it seems to me and I have no problem in trying to make some money out of it. Many other clubs charge. The idea that we have some right to expect people to give up their time so we can have it for free is bizarre imo.

OK from me.....

I think to have this facility is bloody excellent - I have a new job that means that I will have to rely on this when I am away....the first commentary was 'superb'

The purchasing of the video equipment and laptops costs money.......

The quality of the results is fantastic too

At the end of the day it is the cost of ONE AWAY TRIP after ticket, travel etc

 if you're prepared to pay JGFC's costs associated with filming and editing, then I'm sure you'll get Wings TV for free....

I know you're a troll (if you want to dispute this then come and show yourself at any home game, you'll find most of us forum users behind the goal) but thought I'd add my two cents anyway.

It would be fair to say that JGFC and I aren't best buddies on this forum, but even I can appreciate the costs he incurs. For the price of one away trip you can't go wrong when you will get occasional commentaries from people who actually know the names of our players (unlike the BBC) as well as good quality highlights and interviews. I'm sure anything of absolutely vital importance said in interviews will be communicated on here anyway. For anyone who can't make as many games as they would like to because of work/other commitments, its a good deal.

The only reason I'm not subscribing is that I hope to attend enough games this season for it to be unnecessary - maybe you should do the same.

What an absolute plank. The amount of work JGFC puts into the operation could be classed as a part time job by some people. As said above the quality speaks for itself and it works out cheaper than comparable services from other clubs...

Well the first bit is a lie.

As for the second bit, you can have your say but if your opinion is that of a complete moron, you'll be correctly shot down in flames.

Initially I was quite sceptical about paying for WingsTV but now I've actually got it I think it's fantastic value for money.

Yes it's a similar amount (in most cases, less) than what league clubs charge but their match highlights are shown on TV for free beforehand! If we didn't have supporters putting their own free time and money into making the footage on WingsTV, there would be no highlights at all!

Looking back, I actually feel bad that when we were in the BSS, JgFC was putting a £1,000s along with his free time into making WingsTV a reality .... and then myself and others watched it for free...

Ok I apologise didn't know he put that much in but it was quite a shock when I got back its just a shame the price could be a bit lower as for the nags head just cause I'm not on your table I'm called a liar

Another way to help make Wings TV free is to attract a sponsor for Wings TV's coverage. I know JGFC tried this season, but to no avail.

If anyone can help with obtaining sponsorship for Wings TV for this season or next then I think it would be low (or no) cost to the rest of us.

I haven't signed up yet, mainly because I'm a lazy and tight sod, but I would say I think it's a factor in how well the team have played over the past few seasons. I'd be interested to know to what extent Jamie and the guys use Wings TV.

Jamie and the coaches have log ins to view the highlights normally the day after a match in time for training, Jamie also gets a match DVD as he always has done. Also  we do clips of every game for Stacey an example of one of those is below from the past. So in answer to your question Jamie and his Management team use WingsTV and also stuff that you dont see.

The first bit or the second bit Wingnut? I couldn't possibly comment on the first bit but the second I am sure is true. Since Tom has been recording the games we have brilliant seasons - obviously this is mostly down to Jamie - but having access to the video must have helped.
