Yesterday Chelsea announced that their players will stop signing autographs at their Kingsmeadow games due to safety concerns around fans interacting with players post-match. Manchester City have already adopted this approach with an ‘autograph ally’. Staff hand out wristbands randomly allowing lucky fans access to first-team players post-game to get autographs and take pictures in a controlled and safe environment 🙌 Arsenal are yet to make any changes, but after their away friendly to Southampton last week, social media lit up re fans stampeding at the end of the game 😥 Some thoughts 💭 ➡️ There is a significant culture shift taking place in terms of fan relationships with players. ➡️ Fans have previously been used to fairly high levels of player access as a result of lower match-day attendances and players generously giving time post-match. ➡️ This understandably created a feeling amongst some fans that this would continue given that it was a beautiful and unique feature of the women’s game. ➡️ But increased attendances have made the position untenable in terms of time constraints for players and also due to safety concerns - some fans have reported being injured by others fans rushing to meet players. ➡️ From our perspective, it’s a welcome move and part and parcel of the WSL becoming more professional. If we want players to bring their A-game to match-day, they need rest and recovery asap, especially with an ever more demanding schedule. ➡️ The Man City approach feels like the fairest way of providing fans with those beautiful, personal moments with players whilst ensuring everyone stays safe 🤝 Let us know your thoughts 👇 #shesaballer | #WSL

⚠️ Today the Telegraph warns about the risks of taking rugby TV coverage behind a paywall. Undoubtedly it is a gamble on taking the broadcast money now versus the potential diminishing viewership in the future. ⚖️ ✍️ Deputy Rugby Union Correspondent, Daniel Schofield, comments succinctly... "𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗥𝘂𝗴𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝗮𝗶𝗿. 𝗬𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲. 𝗔𝗻 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺" 'An older generation's viewing habits are broken and a younger generation's will never form'. This is a great example of the need for rights holders to prioritise removing friction in product UX, and only introducing potential hurdles if it is directly addressing an existing consumer need or solving a broken journey. If the consumer doesn't see the benefit of the broadcast money, its putting the company ahead of the fan, and self harming decision. #rugby #sport #sportsmarketing #brand #brandmarketing #broardcastsports #broadcastrights #marketing #marketingstrategy

What does fairness mean to sports bettors?   In our recent FairPlay Fair Betting Survey, we asked US & UK bettors just that. The UK audience repeatedly talked of 'honour' and 'respect', implying a general sense that they're not on a level playing field with their chosen bookmakers. Conversely, the US respondents explained fairness as being treated equally to other customers, while also regularly mentioning the demand for better prices and more transparency.   With over half of UK bettors surveyed stating that they'd been treated 'unfairly' by a sportsbook, many more than their US counterparts, is this linked to the UK market maturity or is there an underlying customer service issue?   https://lnkd.in/eirNymGA #fairplay #igaming #sportsbetting #survey

The Future of Basketball is Here! I'm still buzzing from the #NBAAllStar weekend in Indianapolis! Witnessing the state-of-the-art LED court by ASB GlassFloor at Lucas Oil Stadium was a game-changer. Remember the good old days with basic hardwood floors? Who would've thought the court could become a giant screen? Mind blown! This is more than just a technological marvel; it's a revolution in the fan experience: Immersive visuals: Imagine live replays, real-time stats, player tracking animations, and interactive games during timeouts - all on the court itself! Enhanced engagement: This isn't just about stats, it's about storytelling. Imagine fire animations around Jimmy Butler on a hot streak or interactive challenges for fans. The possibilities are endless! Beyond basketball: This technology has the potential to transform other sports too. Imagine hockey plays unfolding on a dynamic court or interactive challenges in tennis matches. The future is here! But is it all sunshine and rainbows? Player distraction: Could all the flashy visuals affect performance? It's a valid concern, but with proper implementation, it shouldn't be a major issue. Oversaturation: Finding the right balance between information and entertainment is crucial to avoid overwhelming fans. Overall, the LED court is a glimpse into the future of sports. It's not just about the game; it's about creating a truly immersive and interactive experience for fans. And with AI integration on the horizon, who knows what wonders await? ✨ **What are your thoughts? Is this the future of sports viewing, or is it just a flashy gimmick?
