I always fancied that a yearbook sold as a Christmas annual would be cool... I would certainly cough up a few Aussie dollars to collect those ... one for this last season would be a collectors piece!

That’s what I mean. I was just thinking what would encourage me and others to buy. You have to create a product that generates demand and this would imo.

That said I see PTs point. Whether it’s cost effective is another question but for every person like me there’ll be others who prefer the electronic scrolling on phone pre match.

This has got me thinking onto how we can improve the pre match technology element.

How can we get people like PT who would like an electronic programme or content pre match?

Could we sell digital programmes at the ground?

Could we create pre match specific interview, comment and digital wallpaper for purchase pre match to provide exclusive behind the scenes access to paywall content that can be watched pre game.


We are in the digital age afterall.

Would selling access to a high speed high quality Internet access, perhaps with all the benefits TH mentions above, be of interest? I've got 5G on my phone, but at the game it slows to a crawl presumably because of bandwidth issues (don't ask me what that means, that's what a young person told me!).

Too many people in one small area all trying to access the available internet/reception. Its a very hard problem to solve and in most sporting grounds have the same issue. Not a Belle Vue issue per se

Think of it like a 6” sewage pipe servicing Belle Vue, it’s adequate 90% of the time but on match days an extra 5,000 people are flushing the loo so the pipe struggles to let it all through.
Hope that imagery helps your understanding
