GABLE ENDIES OFFER FANS FRONT ROW SEAT FOR COMING SEASON

Crowds at sporting events may still be someway off, but that won’t get in the way of Montrose FC fans enjoying every minute of the action from Links Park, live, and from the comfort of their own homes.

Thanks to the installation of a new, state of the art, streaming system over the summer, supporters will be able to watch all the Gable Endies home matches as they happen.

Operations Manager, Davey Byrne, explained, “Covid restrictions will, naturally, greatly effect are normal income for the season ahead, and so we have had to adapt quickly to other options. The Championship were already lined up to have a Pixellot system installed at each ground, and when we looked into it, we felt it was a great fit for our needs also to provide a pay-per-view facility for games.”

Utilising the latest technology, the Pixellot system comprises four fixed cameras, contained in a ‘shoe box’ size enclosure. These four images are electronically stitched together, providing a seamless, panoramic view of the pitch, and Artificial Intelligence software, working in the background, automatically provides the panning and zooming to follow all the action up and down the park. This live feed is then beamed into the cloud and made available to users via an online platform.

Davey added, “We have been trialling the system with our pre-season fixtures and things are going really well. It’s not quite Sky Sports yet, and we know some of our fans have had problems, but we are working through these teething issues and would ask folks to bear with us as we are learning all the time on how to make the system better.

“We also hope to have live commentary in place for our Betfred fixture against Ross County tomorrow, which will be a further enhancement.”

Season Ticket holders will automatically receive all live streams free of charge, with a pay-per-view option available for non-season ticket holders and away fans.

PETRIE ACTS ON DEADLINE DAY TO BRING TITLE WINNING RENNIE BACK TO LINKS PARK

Montrose FC have completed the signing of former Gable Endie Martin Rennie on transfer deadline day, following the strikers recent release from Irish Premier Division outfit, St Patrick’s Athletic FC.

Having left Links Park back in January, as the Clubs first ever international transfer, the move across the Irish Sea to full time football didn’t quite work out for the 26 year old, hindered greatly by the onset, soon after his arrival, of the pandemic lockdown.

On hearing the news of his release over the weekend, Manager Stewart Petrie moved quickly to bring the frontman back on a 2 year deal.

The Kirkcaldy born striker netted 20 times in 74 appearances for Petrie’s side after joining from Junior side Lochgelly Albert in January 2018, but to the Mo faithful he will always be remembered for his vital assist to Jamie Redman’s league winning goal against Elgin in April 2018.

Petrie said, “I am delighted to see Martin returning. It’s a shame his move to St Pat’s didn’t work out, but these things happen in football and what’s important now is we get him back playing at a level we know he can.

“He is super keen and excited to get back involved with the boys. He was a great asset for us first time around, and I fully expect him to be the same again.”

Rennie will go straight into the squad to face Ross County in the Gable Endies opening Betfred fixture at home on Wednesday night.
