It's a ... live!

As posted on the forum, we are going all out for the last big push for myBUFC and commencing LIVE broadcast of some home matches over the Internet.
There are one or two commercial issues to arrange but essentially all of the technical details have been sorted out.
[NERD ALERT] For those interested, we will have our TV grade camera (with aux microphones) linked by firewire to a PC laptop, edit suite is Wirecast which compresses and sends via wireless network and broadband to our Windows Media Server then out to you over the 40Mb line [/ END NERD ALERT]

It became obvious during the trials, email, forum and general feedback that there is no substitute for actually watching the team play. Therefore, with a bit of help from the club, I have dug deep and will be arranging scaffolding (or similar - to get the right camera angle), ensuring that the right equipment is available at the ground and doing some tests over the coming couple of weeks.

The monies paid by members to date is still unspent (until we go live) and awaits the decisions of the members on what and when it should be spent on.

All being well, we will be broadcasting 1 game in January and at least 2 in February. This will lead us up to the closing date at the end of February when the committee will decise how and if to proceed should we fall slightly short of the target.
