Fans given chance to appear live on video walls

|

Premier League clubs will give their supporters the chance to appear on live video walls at stadia during the remaining top-flight fixtures. Spurs has become the first top-flight club to offer their fans the chance to appear on a live video fan wall that will be streamed into the stadium for their game against Manchester United, live on Sky Sports Premier League on Friday.

All of the Premier League’s remaining matches will be played behind closed doors so clubs are looking for ways to gain an advantage for their home matches, with Spurs set to feed in video footage of their supporters at various points.

Fans must enter a competition, showing themselves kitted out on the sofa and will be encouraged to react to events in the game as they happen, though no audio will be played into the stadium.

A Spurs club statement read: “We are giving supporters the chance to be part of a live video fan wall during our first ever behind-closed-doors Premier League match against Manchester United on Friday night. Spurs Inside is another first for the club, streamed live on our giant video screens in the stadium bowl intermittently throughout the match so that the players will know fans are watching and cheering them on.

“We are providing a select number of Season Ticket Holders and Executive Members – our regular match attenders – the opportunity to be part of this unique experience.”

The competition says you will need a device with webcam,  a Zoom account, a subscription with the television broadcaster showing the match in your location and fast and secure internet connectivity.

Other clubs including West Ham are yet to announce their fan video walls and selection criteria.
