steelers Vs Devils - League - 20th Feb 22
- Thread starter James
- Start date
Steelers obviously spend a lot more money on their productions, and they probably have 2-4 times the traffic of other clubs, for example Devils at Steelers cardiff fans will buy many more webcasts that Devils at Fife, and that is probably the same story throughout the league. Don’t get me wrong the Steelers webcast is first class but it’s because they spend a lot more on it, as we all know money talks..
I actually think the Steelers webcast is better than Premier sports by far, the cost of covering a hockey match on Premier is easily £10K, obviously Steelers webcast is no where near that expense. But myself I would prefer to watch tomorrows game on their webcast, the players don’t look like ants, the Commentary is far superior, and the Camera direction is far superior. It’s very true that the Storm is pretty crappy their camera positions are poor, and it must be done on a shoestring.
Manchester are in such a difficult spot though. Poor sight lines and awful camera positions. We used to have to give up our seats when Sky rolled into town and see that smug twerp Simms sat in my block commentating, when we were in the BBT. Regardless of sight lines and camera position there is no excuse for not following the play. That's my issue. I know I'm boring about it but it's true. Our camera folk are so behind the play or zoomed in too close that you can't see enough, its so bad. We aren't filming from the gods like in Sheffield or Nottingham we have fantastic camera positions. There's really no excuse. It's just poor camera work.
A friend of mine was watching the Guildford game on line and he said that when they showed the replays straight after the action the replays didn't even capture what was going on. Registers goal was completely missed. That's embarrassing. I get that money solves a lot of problems but missing the play isn't about money. It just seems daft to me and so easy to fix. Our product is good. Is it worth £15. No. I'd pay £15 for Sheffield's. That's good value.
I do like our commentary team though. They work hard. More recently on their own. Not easy. Very knowledgeable.
Each to their own though. Just my opinion.

The Guildford game wasn’t our normal cameraman, I already told you that. Our normal cameraman is second to none believe me or not he certainly is, whether or not his pictures are cut to during broadcast is another thing. Not watching our broadcast as being there don’t help. Please don’t harp on about the Guildford game give your views after the Storm game if you ain’t going there.
Sigh... I know the cameraman is your mate. Try and be objective. It's not about Guildford though is it as you well know, hence why you messaged me privately. It's about a long running issue for me and it's purely for me. It's my opinion. No one else's. I could be in the minority. I could be the only one. It's purely what I think.
As for my "cousins second brother" or whatever you said, Get a grip man. You act like a child. It doesn't make the opinion any less relevant. Yes I know you were there, yes I know you are there every week and yes I know you marched for SORAC and saved the Devils.... Thank you for that. I can't be there every week so I have an opinion that's more relevant than yours because I buy the product. As you say, you were there so you are commenting on something you aren't in a position to comment about. You don't buy the product so how's about letting a conversation flow that you don't pipe up adding zero value. Just wait until someone moans about the size of the rink, then you can go town and later apologise because you get carried away because you love the Devils so much. Happy hockey days.
