For those of you who didn't get a programme at the weekend or didn't read my programme notes, and missed information about a new scheme, this is what I wrote.
It all sounds very excitning and definitely a good idea to aim for the level of professional Clubs. Will this be tweeted too? I think it's possible to set an automatic link between the two.
Have you considered videos? I wonder if they would have more views and be of more interest/benefit? They would still be relevant to people catching up after the event and those who are at the game would watch them afterwrds too?
just a thought, in no way a criticism of a very exciting idea that has clearly taken a lot of thought and effort already.
We do often upload small video clips of free kick goals and pens etc on the Facebook page shortly after they happen which as you say gets great numbers of viewers, easier with set pieces than just filming for long periods on a phone from open play due to iPhone video size limitations and its much harder to edit big clips quickly as well etc.
unfortunatlay filming from a consumer level HD Camcorder involved much more time & effort in the editing process and has to be done from a PC ( however it potentially COULD be done 'live' but only from a well charged laptop if there were two people involved and there was WIFI available )
To upload the full highlights, edit and upload to YouTube after a game can easily take 3-4 hours to do it properly.

They could be tweeted, but Sean Adams likes to keep things simple. Sean is excellent at what he does an despite thinking that my idea is a good one, he doesn't want to take it on too. It's a shame, but I won't interfere.
I am in the process of trying to get more video up on to the Facebook page in a 'special' kind of way, as they do also attract much more people than just text. I'll reveal more on this in due course, but we're getting there!
Got to say Liam the Live Photos really came across brilliantly. Well done to you and Scott for your hard work. The number of Facebook page 'followers' finally broke the 3300 mark yesterday and the increase was down to the much higher number of fans who saw the photos. Hopefully one day that number and the 6000 who follow the Twitter account as well will translate our large online following ( bigger than many conference Prem clubs ) to home attendances!
