JM91 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I don't know if this has been covered elsewhere but does anyone know what will happen to the TV cameras at Ashton Gate once the stadium rebuild is complete? This seasons camera angle, understandably, is rubbish. But next season will the view be from the Williams/West stand or from the Dolman stand? Personally feel a switch to the Dolman would be better aesthetically but am no expert in Camera work so don't know how possible/plausible it is to have them moved across.

Manon Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I quite like it! Feels like you're in amongst the action. The camera will remain in the west stand next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I heard all the players were going to be fitted with go pros before they step onto the pitch. True story. Fact. End of. Etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 It right at the back of the top tier of west stand. I hope they have good zoom on these cameras!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 The Dolman would be a poor choice due to reflected and direct sunlight issues. I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42nite Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 The cameras will be in the West Stand. But I think the Lower Dolman with those huge voms doesn't look good on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referees wear them for rugby - at least when the match is on TV. Im not sure football refs wearing them would be a good idea. Too controversial.

This is how it was shown in the plans originally however there have been a few tweeks and the tv platform can be seen clearly at the back of the top tier. This was confirmed in on one of the Bristol Sport videos recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(all while wearing Respect on their kit) I remember a few years ago when David Elleray (?) was miked up for a documentary. The game was Chelsea v Arsenal and at one stage two players went in for a meaty 50/50 and both ended up writhing around on the floor. As Elleray was standing over them, Dennis Wise ambles by and says `just send the ******* pair of them off ref and lets get on with it`. Classic.

(all while wearing Respect on their kit) The thing is the rugby boys don't use filthy language because they know they will get penalised and until they do that in football the players will try and push the boundaries. I know it's a working mans game but I'm sure most supporters want to see a bit of respect in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'm so in favour of miked up refs. 1) Swear at the ref gets you a match ban 2) Calling him a cheat, three match ban. It would all stop in weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appealing is one thing and I'm fine with it. But as soon as the ref shakes his head or waves his arm the situation is over. Sometimes the ref misses things that a player can see. So often in rugby the 9 will be pointing at an infringement for the ref to see it and give him the penalty. If however the ref gives/does not give something and a player follows up the decision in a rude way then maybe a yellow. Abusing the ref is the only situation I'd like to see a sin bin card for though. The fans would help the player to understand not to do it again I'm sure.

I'd like to see a minimum 5 mins off the pitch should a player need treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I disagree with the last point as although it may stop players going down to slow the game/time waste, it will punish genuinely injured players who may need a bandage to stop bleeding.
