Thank you for the above old bean - much appreciated. You've more or less outlined all the positive points I suggested at the top. You think a camera gantry needs to be as far away as the narrow bit of the gap though? It would require a versatile cameraman who's good with a zoom lens as the play goes from end to end.If we can pull back from the 'Pete's moaning about the short stand again' viewpoint for a minute. This actually makes sense: The Cowshed (or Doble/Flybe whatever) side of the ground is the real heart of the club. Having the dugouts and tunnel in shot also makes for good television - watch MOTD later and see how many times they cut away to Managers' reactions and subbed players kicking water bottles.
A decent camera gantry in the narrow point of the triangle by the Jungle Path would be able to see the whole pitch, dugouts, fans on the BB, Doble and Away End. The only thing it wouldn't have an unrestricted view of would be the fans in the NOG.
