Title: New JH stand camera position
Post by: FFCAli on August 23, 2013, 09:21:24 AM
Who else has received an email from the club about this?  It seems we've got a new camera stand towards the back of block FL and they hope "not too many seats will be adversely affected"  -  so obviously some will be.  Could be a real pain if it blocks the view of much of the pitch.

Why notify the ST holders in F block just 2 days before the 1st home game, they must have known a week or so ago and surely they must know what seats are effected but they didn't tell us in the email.

A camera for the goal line technology - maybe?

I think not.  This is on the half-way line.

No just for TV coverage. Its on the halfway line low down.

No just a lower angle for that side of pitch.

Ahead of our opening home match of the season, we're writing to advise of some changes to our broadcast set-up that may affect your seat in the Johnny Haynes Stand.

As you may be aware, the Premier League recently announced enhanced media guidelines that offer greater access to broadcasters, plus a wider range of TV camera positions.

These changes are mandatory at all Premier League stadia and we have worked hard to minimise any disruption to our fans. However, in order to meet specifications, in the past week we have been required to add a new camera platform towards the rear of Block FL.

This new position is permanent and will be used for the first time by broadcasters at our match on Saturday.

We hope not too many seats will be adversely affected, but if you do have any concerns following the Arsenal game, please contact us using the details listed below.  We will use your feedback to help keep future restrictions to a minimum and where necessary will put you in contact with our Ticket Office team, who can discuss seating options in more depth.
