Curious neutral: Excuse me club, why don't you get some tech minded, social media savvy, trust worthy person with some spare time to do Social Media for your club and live stream games and pay with them with some spare cash?
Club: We decided to me more realistic and asked Santa for someone to come along and help clean up after club functions and at the end of the year; and if we had been particularly good for some large benefactor to come along and alleviate the cash flow struggles. Unfortunately all we got were a load of mini-balls and some drink bottles for the Juniors from Maccas via NZ Football. Sigh...
Feel free to pitch in, we'd love a hand!!!
While I agree that social media has its place as an easy means to get information out but surely streaming games could mean supporters will not come and watch games live so in the long run will this be good for the games, clubs etc.
I think it offers opportunities for former players/fans/families of players etc. in different parts of NZ/the world to watch, and I think that is a positive. I also think that it will allow coaches to better tailor training sessions in anticipation of playing certain teams. This 1) improves coaches abilities to process different styles of football and come up with ways to prepare for certain games; and 2) lets players reflect on their individual performances, which will let them take responsibility for their performances going forward.
On the whole, I think this will raise the standard of quality of football - it's not just skill based, it's tactical and mental endurance, and this makes it more professional. If a few choose to stay at home, then so be it - but nothing beats a live game of football on a saturday afternoon!
