yeah it's media wants credentialsThe media is bitching about NYCFC again
Daily News' Bondy and Sirius XM seem to be doing well... I think the club is about to open up for the regular season. People are just hurt they weren't first.yeah it's media wants credentials
The comments I read were more about the fact that instead of receiving one plastic credential for the entire season, that media would have to apply for each game individually. In Ep 4, we spoke with the Third Rail and they mentioned that Dept of Homeland Security had a lot of influence and even in some cases control over what happens at the stadium because of its marquee stature. So I don't have a problem with it.MLS clubs have been traditionally very open to all sorts of media, bloggers, tweeters, websites. Sounds like NYCFC isn't interested and is only letting in big names into the press boxes. Thats going to go south real fast. Bad move by NYCFC in my book.
The desire and fire that I saw on Saturday night was awesome. I just bought his jersey because of it.

Villa very clearly the leader of this team

So I'm curious Blue, as a podcaster you aren't a big boy media. Will you be getting media credentials for games?The comments I read were more about the fact that instead of receiving one plastic credential for the entire season, that media would have to apply for each game individually. In Ep 4, we spoke with the Third Rail and they mentioned that Dept of Homeland Security had a lot of influence and even in some cases control over what happens at the stadium because of its marquee stature. So I don't have a problem with it.
Personally, I will be honored to cover the team and don't have time to complain about jumping through a few hoops to do it. The key is building a relationship with the team and staff. That's more important to getting quality content than a season long credential.
Free entrance to games (no brainer), access to press box, post game coach and locker rooms for interviews. Also access to opposing teams as well. Some places even feed and booze up the media for free.what specific priviliges do media credentials grant to an individual? I know you get closer access to the field if you're a photographer
Villa missed Monday's practice because of a lingering groin injury, leaving his status for Wednesday's exhibition against the Houston Dynamo up in the air. According to coach Jason Kreis, Villa, 33, first noticed the pain in a Feb. 15 exhibition in Manchester. He then "tweaked it" Saturday during a draw with Orlando City FC.
"They're working on (Villa)," Kreis said, "we'll see about Wednesday."

Don't like that at all. I think it's safe to say Kreis knows what he's doing, but I sure as hell hope they sit him out the next 2 matches.
