Premier League chiefs could allow TV cameras into dressing rooms amid broadcast pressure

The Premier League are considering allowing cameras into dressing rooms to allow for greater access.
Broadcasters are looking to be compensated after losing out on a host of games due to the suspension of the league.
They are looking to set up an ‘Enhancing the Broadcast Product’ Club Advisory Group.

After a meeting last week the group discussed a number of requests from the two main domestic rightsholders Sky Sports and BT Sport.
As well as placing cameras in the dressing room the idea of holding half-time interviews is also a possibility.
Clubs will discuss the proposals but Sky's owners, Comcast, are thought to be keen on the idea after seeing it work well in American sports, reports the Daily Mail.


Broadcasters are also having to consider warnings from OFCOM surrounding foul language.
Should games resume they are likely to be held behind closed doors meaning players' voices will be far louder usual.
Crowd noise often drowns out player vocals which can include swearing - something OFCOM do not want aired.
The Premier League are also facing opposition from some top flight clubs over their plans to play games at neutral venues.
Watford are the latest to raise concerns over the move amid suggestions it compromises the competitions integrity.
"I, of course, absolutely accept we cannot have supporters in the stadium," Scott Duxbury, Watford's chairman and chief executive, said in The Times. "That goes without saying in the present situation.
"However, we are now told we cannot play our remaining home games at Vicarage Road and the familiarity and advantage that brings."
