Do we do this? If not, I wonder if we could set someting up to offer visually impaired supporters a headset linked to Morecambe World at matches?

That is a very good Idea as I've noticed recently we've had visually impaired supporters at some of our games.
How would it work though, just out of interest, as Morecambe world is a broadband service, or would they be able to patch it through to a radio channel which could be received around the ground?

Wi-fi would probably have a lag between broadcasting and receiving. Be frustrating at the match, hearing a cheer for a goal and then five seconds later hearing the commentary team getting excited! Morecambe Mick got wound up enough because Aspers was able to post on the chat room "GOAL!!!" a few seconds before he heard it I guess it could be networked somehow, especially if there were dedicated seats?

As for broadcasting over radio, that's way too technichal for me. We could do with having an expert or two. You know, like someone who'd worked with local radio set ups, or even someone who'd dabbled in DJ'ing. If only we could find such a person?

Alternatively... we could ask Notts County or the RNIB how to do it?

Great idea Keith perhaps we could have given one to the referee tonight!

On the ship we used to use a Magnetic Induction Loop which would just mean a cable running around the stands which could be linked directly to the commentary box?
