Hi,
I would like to approach the fans of Lewes FC with a potential idea that a group of us are involved with at university. We are studying a community media module and we have taken great interest in the club due to its strong ties with the community of Lewes, and how the local football club is funded and supported.
We are trying to pitch the idea of a Lewes FC Media Channel using a website called 'Word press'. This site allows for the integration of blogging, video clips, images and sound. Anyone who is a keen follower of Lewes FC can upload content onto the channel. Tweets and Facebook comments can also make it onto the site for all to see.
The aim for this channel is to allow fans another way of being actively involved in the club by creating media content. We believe that this would be valuable to the club and its supporters as it is a way of archiving the clubs history.
Ultimately it would be a media channel generated by the fans, for the fans and manged by the fans.
I would love to know, as fans, your take on this project and whether you believe it could be a success.

Sounds great, ew161. Go for it!
I'd like to be able to take clips on my phone during the game and then be able to upload them to the site at the end of the match. (Probably straightforward?)
I'd then like my clips combined with those of others who have done the same, collated into time order - and, while you're about it, into camera location order using the clips GPS data. (Less straightforward but then you are uni geeks?)
I'd like you to call it something like 'peoplesMOTD', get every club in the country using it, then for you to sell it on to GoogleFace for about a billion quid.
And, finally, I'd like you to cut Lewes cfc in for 5% of the sale price for giving you this brilliant idea and for being your 'guinea-pig club' in helping you develop it. #bigcheesysmiley

Thanks dynamo.
I understand the points that you have highlighted socio176, sorry if I have offended you in anyway, that was not my intentions! We were just hoping to get some feedback on this idea from the lewes FC community. The aim of our small projects is to carry on helping with the promotion of the club. Thanks for replying though, we appreicate it!

ew16, there's absolutely no need for you to apologise to me for anything as you have not offended me in any way.
It's more appropriate that I should say sorry to you if my post led you to believe that I was in some way belittling what you are wanting to do. That couldn't be further from my intention.
I may just have gotten a tad carried away with my wishlist for a 'peoplesMOTD'. This is because I think the app / software that does this will be immensely popular and something I would genuinely like to see written. I carelessly assumed that you and your friends were on a computer science type course and that you may have the wherewithal to accomplish this. (Should have read what you actually said in your post, perhaps?)
As I said, I think the project that you are proposing sounds great and I will be happy to support your efforts if you do decide to 'go for it'.

At the moment, we are using a pre- exisitng website to create this media channel, a platform for fans to interagrate their thoughts and footage of every game and general Lewes FC activities But I agree, I think if something like a app or software can be written for the purpose of the fans it would be a great success. Hopefully if this media channel takes off, it may be something that could also be approached? Thanks for the support, I think we will go for it!
