Moseley v Bristol (Live on Sky?)

[markd]

Before last night's game, Lee said during the announcements that the Bristol game would be live on Sky with a 17:05 kick-off. I cannot see this confirmed anywhere else. Is the statement correct?

Also, there were no team announcements last night. Now I know that everyone was sold the Pirates programme from two weeks ago (at full price) and perhaps Lee didn't want to draw attention to the fact, but it is very poor not to have any announcement of who is on the field of play.

Come on Mose!

It's just my luck that Moseley are on tele the weekend I will be playing soldiers at my R.E.M.E corps annual re-union. I would have loved to let the sports world hear my Moseley rally. Never mind, perhaps next time. And I can't record the game cos I don't have sky - unless it's on BT as well. See you all at the Bedford game on Saturday.

Come on Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose

Phil - maybe you could send a recording of your rallying cry to the club and they could play it over the PA at varying intervals during the Bristol match.

Hi Mark

Apologies for the delay in replying.

I suspect you may have missed Lee’s team announcement on Friday, and as you spotted, the programmes were those printed for the original fixture a fortnight before. However, the team was posted on the message board, facebook, twitter etc.

We’d like to thank supporters for bearing with us on the programmes – given the short period between the two games and the cost of re-printing, we thought it the wisest use of money to go with the ready printed version to avoid a loss.

With regard to the Bristol match on Sat 12th April. This will shown live on Sky and with the later kick off. This will be confirmed in a press release later today/early tomorrow. There was a delay in announcing it as we had to discuss the possible impact of the construction work with Sky. This was only confirmed this week. So whilst there was a provisional arrangement with Sky, we preferred to wait until details were confirmed.

This has now been sorted out – so no problem there.

Other clubs have raised the issue of floodlighting required for Sky coverage. We have good lighting (as you know) but since sunset isn’t until well after full time, this isn’t an issue in this case.

London exile - great idea!

Communications Team. Can it be done? Not to be used excessively of course.

Suggest you have a word with the MSA guys who do the PA music etc - sounds interesting?

[coverdale2]

Hey Guys yes its something we can do and actually have thought about it before.
I will either have to get Phil over to my studio to record it or record him live at the next available time.
I will get on the case and sort it out for you!

[Phil]

I thought we wanted to encourage supporters, not drive them away!

[philhall]

That's not a bad idea londonexile. I'll look into that and see what can be done. Anybody got any contacts in the recording world as a starter for 10?

Just for the record - no pun intended - Pam and I sing with our church choir, just ask Joe Jordan but more important we both sing with the Birmingham Choral Union, a choir of about 80 voices. We only have 7 tenors so there is no place for me to hide.

For those musically minded my rally call is pitched at about middle "C" ( that, for interest, is the note Paverotti starts Nesun Dorma - he finishes it on a top "C" that's 8 notes, or an octave above middle "C" ) and whilst I can manage the odd top "C" my age, I'll be 72 on the 7th March and asthma is not helping of late. None-the-less on a good day and at the volume required to encourage the supporters to finish my rally call off with a resounding "LEY", I can hold my middle "C" for about 40 seconds.

On Saturday, 29th March Pam and I will be performing the Mozart Requiem ( in Latin ) and the Mendelssohn Psalm 42 ( in German ) at the Elgar Concert Hall, The Bramall Music Building, Birmingham University. Talk about geriatric multilingualism.

We would be most pleased to see as many of you there as possible. Tickets are £16, oaps £15 and students £8 and I can get them for anyone who wants any.

Come on Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose

Err... I had my tongue firmly in my cheek when I made the suggest. But if all parties are keen and willing then why not.

Phil, can you do it in different keys? you could do a 3 part harmony with 3 different recordings then. I really am joking now!

Barber shop style might be quite nice
