People unable to get a ticket for this week’s international basketball games at Coventry Skydome will be able to get a glimpse of the action thanks to webcams in the arena.

They have been installed by CWN to allow people from all over the world the chance to see what is going on.

The cameras will be showing the action at the Skydome for most of the week as part of an experiment to gauge their popularity.

England play the Slovak Republic on Saturday, and will come up against Latvia on Wednesday.

In a unique experiment, two cameras have been installed, one at either end of the court. They are programmed to update every 30 seconds.

CWN managing director Chris Studman said:

“Webcams are proving very popular with internet users as it helps them keep in touch with events all over the world.

“Our camera pointing at Broadgate is constantly being visited.

“All there is no substitute for live action, this week’s shots from the Skydome will give people a flavour of the match.

”Hopefully it will help people unable to come to Coventry keep in touch with the fortunes of the England team, and will encourage more people to come to the Skydome in the future.
