| Judging by the response on the Fans Forum thread, it seems the LeighLife experiment of broadcasting tonight's event was a big success, and with mention at the Forum of broadcasting online commentary, video highlights etc during the season, I wondered whether there was any scope in offering this as some of package for a few quid a month which would presumably help to cover production costs and also hopefully make some profit for the club?
This isn't necessarily aimed at those who will be forking out for the monthly season tickets etc and milking the same pockets, but more at those who are unable to attend fixtures and can therefore still contribute to the club whilst getting better than ever coverage in return, especially as I imagine BBC Manchester won't be covering as many of our games in 2012.
Thoughts?

That Question was asked 5 minutes after asking how do we make money from it and can we supply other clubs with the info to do it

| The main thing that we need is more internet memory for Leighlife, Pete is going to examine how much is needed and the cost implication to ensure a smooth running programme.

| Its like lots of ' inventions ' , its not what they actually are , its how they can be used , or exploited
Thinking ' Fred Flintstone ' era , the bloke or woman [ unlikely I know ] that rolled a ' circular piece of stone ' down a hill probably didn't realise exactly what he had done

| How about creating an iPhone and Android app that links to leighlife. Then you can charge for it that way. You pay a single fee for access to commentaries for 1 season.

| As Fred said, the test on the system last night showed us that we will definitely need to buy more memory space than we'd normally need for the every day running of Leighlife and we will be actively looking for a sponsor/advertiser to help pay towards this, especially as we think that far more people will listen in to a live match broadcast than listened in last night. We also think that many rugby fans who have internet access and aren't at a game will listen in, regardless of which team they support.
Pete is, as Fred says, just weighing up the cost of the extra space needed and once we know that we can try to make provisions to cover the cost.

I have just been getting some advice on this very subject about creating an app. Its a bit sensitive cos i don't want to step on anybody's toes here including this Site.
We see how popular this years Fantasy SL comp is on this forum and how well the forecast comp runs with the great effort from Dereck and Co. I have been in interim discussions regarding an app that combines the two. (sorry Dereck, I'm not stepping on your toes I am testing the water first to see if its viable before i mentioned it).
Theres a slightly different spin on the Fantasy SL comp so that it creates an income stream. Your Team consists of 17 players and you will have the ability to interchange your team "live" with only points earned when your player is on the field. You will be txted live (if you choose this option ,prob every 10mins and at a cost to you) updates of your players performance for eg Richards 2 try's and 2 from 4 or S.Tomkins off with deadleg or Dixon 0 try 0 goals thus giving you the opportunity to interchange (at a cost). BBC does live SL updates so information can be retreived from there. Its very very early discusions but what do you think ? would there be interest if we say prizes of season tickets and GF and CC tickets?

| you could have an official Leigh Centurions App - a fiver to download and you get free radio commentary from it as well as other things like squad pictures, stats, team news, LISA news etc.

| Thats another great idea. I use to listen to commentary on my little Fm/Mw radio at games in the olden days. Makes for some interesting viewing when you have commentary when your also watching live

| It's internet commentary we can't afford a radio licence unfortunately, but did you know the LSV has a facility for listening to the game if your blind/limited eyesight?
