HEAR FOOTBALL – LOVE FOOTBALL
HEAR FOOTBALL – LOVE FOOTBALL
Martyn Best , our inside man at Tranmere Rovers Football Club , reveals a wonderful initiative recently launched by the club .
The visceral experience of a football match is something many of us live for .
The live attendance at a match , the smells , the noise , the sights and the whole emotional experience brings great delight .
For a small , but important , number of the fans of Tranmere Rovers , this experience is about to be significantly enhanced , as the club , in collaboration with Alan March Sports ( AMS ), are launching their new in-stadium access commentary service for Tranmere Rovers ’ first team home games .
This service will provide unique live full match commentary to improve the match day experience of supporters who have visual impairments or rely on audio description to follow the match .
The club , which has always prided itself on being as inclusive as possible , works closely with Andy Doyle of the Tranmere Rovers Disabled Supporters ’ Association and sees this as another step in the right direction to enhancing the match day experience for all .
As Andy highlighted , " This is a real " win win " opportunity . We have attracted a number of volunteers who have been trained and practice being a match commentator whilst helping visually impaired fans to enjoy what most fans take for granted .
“ Working with AMS has been really easy in establishing this extra service for our fans . They have commentary teams around the country including a whole host of Premier League Clubs and have also covered World Cups , European Championships , Champions League and the Olympics .”
If you would be interested in helping as a commentating volunteer , there is still an opportunity to join this initiative , if you are :
• Are able to commit to 65 % -75 % of Tranmere Rovers home fixtures , including pre-season and cup games .
• Are able to occasionally carry a small amount of equipment ( less than 10kg )
• Live within approximately 90 minutes from the stadium .
If so , please email info @ alanmarchsport . com with the following information : Full name , Age , Email address and Phone Number and give them 60-100 words on why you think you ' d be a great commentator covering Tranmere Rovers matches .
