Still reckon one game was v widnes,remember one of there massive giants from tonga or the south sea islands picking up a leigh player slaming him to the floor and then belly flopping on him,the crowd went wild it was pure asaualt was it not wayne standish or the other tiny winger we use to have?

I know its OT for this thread but the original one got locked.

With people talking about matches clashing I'd still go with our kick offs unless its a England football international but with games clashing v football is there no way the matches can be shown on the screens/bars at the LSV ?

Might not matter too much on sunday but March 08th v Batley could see a significant drop with Utd and City both on TV in Euro games.

Iv'e only been suggesting we should have at least thought about bringing this game forward a couple of hours because the football game is a cup final,other than that i don't think i would change kickoff time

I doubt the dolly track was an ITV device, it's been used to track shots in Hollywood since the 1950s (if not earlier), and for UK transmission TV since the 60s (I believe they were used in early Dr Who shows which were transmitted live)

Tracking shots have been done since cinematography started to become public viewing. The Dolly that we use today was developed from the bomb loading tools that were used towards the end of the second world war and have been developed from that. Champman who made the first hydrolic dolly held and guarded the design patent for decades before a couple of other companies managed to design one that was completely different to the Chapman dollies.

I remeber Wayne Standish having his teeth knocked out at the Willows live on ITV. 1990 I reckon.

Wasn't this in the 1st tackle of the game and was it also the same game David Stephenson made his debut?

it was an innovation at a RUGBY GAME not as in use they were in use in the cinema since Cecil b De Miles, and they were used by the ITV on their rugby shows behind the touch in goal area.

Sky have also used them along touch in the past.

Should we get Fred a skateboard?

I have one (a dolly not a skateboard, priced one up at £3K with a bit of track), went to B&q bought a couple of lengths of drainpipe and the wheels off an old coffee table and hey presto......never had the bottle to try it out though

I'll bring a spare camera for you Ian

Last weeks game at Sheffield was that cold mine looked like a shiver fest thank god for anti-shake image stabilization.
