And "switching you to a backup server" probably had nothing to do with the streaming, but gave you a way in which bypassed the usual user authenticaton.

I also sent an email to Scot Gardiner on the 28th of October outlining the issues encountered with the initial stream and suggestions to resolve or improve them. To date I have had no acknowledgement let alone any reply. I tried tweeting him this week also to no avail. Woeful. Every time I think we as a club might be improving communication with the fans it just gets worse. Just keep giving us your money as we blunder on and ignore you! Shame as the lads on the pitch are doing a decent job.

I stand corrected on the equipment issue in which case it is even more bizarre that the camera(s) used for the highlights aren't used for the main game. We're getting a much poorer product in return. And for @Row S not to have had a reply some 4 weeks after making contact with the club is also extremely poor.

The cameras on the A9 side can definitely be used for streaming games - I know because I commentated on one that was being streamed live as a test run last season. Have the club got some sort of agreement in place with the providers of the Pixellot system that requires them to use the camera for every live broadcast? It's a shame because Andy and his team do an amazing job with the highlights and I expect would be able to put together a fantastic package for live coverage as well if given the opportunity.

I will just leave this one here for a second ..... and come back to it. So based on the response from Luca ... there was an issue with poor tracking initially and now an issue (albeit unforeseen) with the streaming technology but now that they have done some testing that they are "almost there". I am sorry but testing and QA come before production use of any product - or should, and we have repeatedly been told our club were slow off the mark because of extensive testing. So which is it? I agree with your assessment that the system has been flawed from the outset and quite frankly I am not sure why the club persevere with this obviously flawed product, or why they installed it in the first place - at what cost? - when they already had a viable solution in place from our last time in the Premiership. It is telling that the highlights seem to come from the other side of the pitch where CaleyJags TV is filming the action and not getting caught out by baldy heads, streaming issues, or the next issue that will crop up soon which will be the low sun setting in the west in winter time .... Once again we seem to have spent money we dont have for something we dont need because we already have a solution in place.

I must be honest I am starting to sway towards asking for something back from the club. I was content to let the club have the remaining £80 or so value from last seasons ticket book however I am starting to grudge the fact that, as a ST holder, I am paying 50% more per game than a PPV fan. Whilst it's not the clubs fault that the COVID situation is going on longer than expected (we all hoped to be back in grounds by now!) as things stand I am worse off being a ST holder than a PATG supporter which is disappointing. People have mentioned before about feeling more and more like a customer than being valued as a supporter of the club and I'm definitely heading that way as well.

Wow..........impressed

Our highlights are up now: What a touch and run by Kennedy at 5:08.

It's a good idea Fraz but if someone gets a ticket and does not notify the club if they are unable to attend they are selfish and have no consideration for fellow supporters!

My daughter counted 67 in the North Stand, looked about 130 in the South to me. When we do the ballot, the email (or phone call to the technophobes) saying that you have been successful should have a link that you have to click by a certain time to confirm (and one to decline), say Thursday at midnight to confirm your attendance and will you will receive an email with the tickets. If you don't confirm by that time or decline them the club can offer it to someone else. Probably too much hassle for ICT to bother doing it but would maximise attendance.

not missed it yet 🙂 .. looks like folks are still up for it so will create the thread and sponsorship product next week.

Again off topic, sorry, but I’m reminded of when a female work colleague returned from an overnight business trip to Islay where she spent the evening in a pub sampling the local malts. ”I woke up with the taste of peat in my mouth” she told us. ”Who’s Pete?!” was the response.
