Good luck with it anyway. I'm sure there will be a few among us who'll be able to help with information, or to point the way.

Many thanks! There is definitely a budget, just not formalized. Everyone has been very helpful, much appreciated, and again, hoping for the best.

Hi all,

As I posted in another thread:

"I'm a freelance producer for US-based First Look Media. The company produces in-depth feature films (it won an Oscar in 2016 for the film Spotlight) as well as shorter-length mini-documentaries. I'm helping them to develop a digital sports-based series focusing on teams and individuals who have persevered in the face of long odds. Our director read about the team's near relegation in the 1986-87 season, the intervention of Bryn etc., and asked me to reach out to learn more. "

Considering the importance of Saturday's match, I'm looking for someone planning to attend the game, who might be willing to send me video clips of the game and/or put me in touch with BT Sport about licensing their footage of the game. I don't have a budget yet but we can definitely work out compensation to license the video you shoot if we move forward.

Please send me a direct message if you are interested, and good luck on Saturday!

I saw the articles about the stadium... we'd be interested in talking to fans about that as well.

Thanks, any chance you have a contact there?

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'll keep you posted on our progress. I need to get as much information as I can now, ideally find someone who would be able to film Saturday's game, and take it from there. I'm available to chat on the phone anytime this week, let me know when might work best.

Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated!

The link to footage is great as well. I'll send you a direct message so you have my contact info.

Cheers,

Aaron

Would anyone be able to put me in touch with former players who were at that match? I'd also love to speak with long-time fans of the club who could give me a broader history of the club.

Finally, from what I've read, Torquay is playing an incredibly important match this Saturday. I'd love to speak with anyone who might be there, and who could give me advice about how to obtain footage.

I'm based in Washington DC, so any delay in response will likely be due to the time difference.

Many thanks.
