Did I mention I'd been on Eggheads?
Just watched Cheesey's vlog from today's game and he introduced it with a message he had received from City.
He said City told him that the Premier League have stated he can't film inside any part of the stadium - presumably every club will have been issued the same directive.

Now I appreciate there are many of these youtubers who flout the law and film parts of the action for their videos (Cheesey never has) but banning them all from filming in the concourse or exec lounges before or after a game has started / ended or at half time is not damaging the PL "product" in any way.

So his vlogs now will come from outside the grounds before and after the game with no half time input at all

What next? Forcing all the tourists filming half of the game on their phone to hand their phone over upon entry to be placed in a box?

Please don't turn this into a critique of Cheesey, keep it to the issue of youtubers and what / how they do it

The issue is there are vloggers out there that do film during the game and put it up on their videos.
The PL could easily take action (with youtube) against those doing it. Instead they just sent emails to clubs telling them to tell youtubers to stop filming inside the ground.

I love Cheesey's vlogs as it brings out the "match day experience" inside the stadium without using footage of the game.
At half time he's chatting with the likes of Nedum, Savage, Michael Brown and others.

The Everton vlog was flat. Interviews before and after. That's it. Had he been able to have recorded inside, the video would have been rocking with sound and colour too.
Cheesey (for me) produces a great snapshot of each game which for a fan now living thousands of miles away is greatly appreciated. He must be so disheartened with this instruction.

Of course I will continue to support and watch his vlogs and just hope somehow the PL will relax the rule.
 
Cheesy is the only youtuber I watch who respectfully doesn't record any shots of the game. He's knowledgeable,Respectfull,and most of all a die hard BLUE.
Not surprised to be honest with you.
It's the big company/organisation picking on the little man.
What's worse the club welcome and feed certain bias,bitter racist journalists.
IT'S GREAT BEING A BLUE
 
This is an absolute crock of shit. For those of us stuck “a million miles away” Cheesey’s blog is the best for conveying the atmosphere , passion and true feeling of our fans. It’s the only one I watch regularly and I tell everyone I can to view it
The Premier League and the club need to take a long hard look at themselves as to how they treat their long standing supporters and those who drive positivity about our beloved club.
As always money talks.

For us faraway expat blues he is a godsend keeping us connected to the greatest club in the land and especially the supporters interviews. The fan interactions and the outside stuff are the best bits so nothing will really change. I Remember Cheesy running the football specials years ago and when a group of us got on at Wilmslow one time he asked if daddy’s Rolls Royce wasn’t available as we were slumming it on the train. How he knew all our dads had rollers I’ll never know.

As far as I understand it, there's nothing Youtube can do to remove a video an individual has recorded (or should I say the PL don't have the legal right to get it taken down). You can't actually copyright a football match, so any recording of the event is owned by the person who recorded it. So all the Premier League can do legally is enforce a no-recording policy in the stadiums.

It's a load of bollocks though. If someone scores a goal, I can go on Twitter and immediately find a snipped broadcast video of the goal. The idea that some random vlogger's handheld footage from a single angle is going to devalue the product is laughable.
 
All the club has to do is appoint Cheesy as their official matchday reporter. The PL cannot stop a club filming in its own stadium so long as match footage is not shown. Tv companies own broadcasting rights which, I assume, are expressed as match footage. If the PL has signed a contract selling wider rights, more fool them.

Great idea, used to love Cheesy when he was commentator on GMB, he was the best of all of them .
 
People doing this are the equivalent of plankton, they aren’t gonna start taking bites out of the big PL shark, to some they are a great source of getting the feeling they’re at the match or have experienced it in some way, especially those who can’t be there for health reasons etc. Something tells me the PL/Sly have seen the individual success of some of it, and Will look to replicate it, with their own ideas, maybe an ambassador for each club who has almost unlimited access
 
I don't like his work but don't bite the hands that feeds you.

All publicity is good publicity.

The Premier league are becoming more arrogant and unaware by the day, not good for the beautiful game in any way.
