I was going to send this to the Boardroom Banter but wanted to gauge opinion

As one of many supporters who do not live in Inverness, the BBC radio streams provided us with keeping in touch with our home & away games.

Do we know of anyway that the club or this site can provide a radio commentary of games, so fans are not losing out.

Live broadcasts can be easily set up with Ustream, so all it needs really is a laptop, Ustream account & a mic. I believe this not only would be welcomed by fans byt shows how innovative ICT can be.

Someone at the recent game against Clach provided a text based commentary which not the same was at least well welcomed by those away from home.

thought, comments?

its definitely a good idea and I think it is safe to say - from my own selfish point of view - one that we will pursue with the club.

If the club were to be on board with this, the biggest caveat we might encounter would be that it would have to be completely self-financing which is totally understandable. However, given the number of low cost solutions available and the willingness of people to help with various aspects of it, from techniology to subscribing etc, it might just fly.

Leave this one with us and we will try to get it to the right people

Excellent idea !

Can you keep us updated on the progression of this project.

There may be a couple of teething problems but no one expects those involved to become experts overnight.

Any contacts from other clubs who could give advice.

perhaps a solution to issues with away teams would be to do a broadcast similar to what Sky Sports did with the "fanzones", so you have a commentator/fan representing each team.only a thought

Its a nice idea but doing it that way would expand the scope by a factor of 9 .... You would be talking about an SFL wide commentary team and discussions with all 10 teams as well as the SFL. I (personally) would favour a localised approach where we concentrate on us .... if others want to follow then so be it.

I have emailed a couple of people and hopefully there will be some response from the club in the near future. As for contacts from other clubs, I mentioned above that the benchmark as far as I am concerned is Hibs and I have the contact details of the guy who set that up somewhere.

Scarlet is a man of few words,,but they are all positive about this.

Its been a few months since my post on SFL radio broacasts and there was a lot of positive reaction to this.

I just wondered if the Mods have got any further forward with this becoming a reality.

Moray Firth Radio Sport - on 1107am (medium wave frequency), on Digital DAB radio and online at www.mfr.co.uk (choose to listen to moray firth radio as opposed to MFR) - will have a live reporter at ALL Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Ross county matches on a Saturday afternoon - all season - home and away - guaranteed. This show is a speech based programme... so no music.

The live reporters provide pre-match previews and team sheet information in the first hour, also typically hearing from the managers and selected players (this week Terry Butcher and Lee Cox).

There's regular updates from the games and you'll hear about all the goals and major incindents when they happen, half time and full time reports and post match interviews (where available). We also bring you live reports from selected Highland League games and give all the scores from all the other games across Scotland and the English Premier League as they happen.

like this would be good

I think CaleyD is your best bet for updates on this but it has not fallen off the radar

Thanks Stepho, but this is not what i was intending. Im on about live commentary for our games. Glad to see its not off the radar

Can I just flag up Tuesday's Cup tie at Motherwell? All five ties that night will comprise an Open All Mics programme on Radio Scotland 810MW with Billy Dodds at Fir Park for the ICT game so you will get a blow by blow account. I hope this also includes the desperate diasporate but I'm not sure.

As far as live commentaries on ICT games are concerned, as far as I know the BBC has broadcasting rights if necessary for Division 1 games but, as a national broadcaster, the SPL takes precedence. However don't rule out the possibility, especially midweek or Sundays. The BBC has already done full live commentary this season on the Partick Thistle cup tie (plus extra time plus penalties!) and I would imagine that the Challenge Cup Final would also be a strong candidate for same which should again please Inverness or County fans (but not both!)
