Fort William would welcome a sequel to the award-winning documentary about the club screened last year.
BBC Scotland’s “The Fort” programme, which was shown last July, won the best sports programme at the Royal Television Society Scotland awards earlier this week.
The fly-on-the-wall documentary charted the Fort’s struggles to end a long winless run spanning nearly two years, which came to an end with a 5-2 North of Scotland Cup victory over Nairn County the night after it was screened.
Fort director Colin Wood, who was featured in the programme, is keen to bring the television cameras back to Claggan Park for a follow up.
Wood said: “It was a strange feeling having the film crew when we had to try and run the team as well.
“I was really happy for Alex Gale who put his heart and soul into it, and followed us for six months along with David MacCormack.
“They were really good, and as unobtrusive as they could be.
“When we get back to playing football, we would really like to try and do a follow up in some form or another.
“It was a huge amount of work, but it can’t be underestimated the amount of interest it generated for the club.
“We had a lot of media interest, so it was a crazy time for us.
“We would like to do it again, as it would be nice to put an update out.”
Wood was thrilled with the response to the documentary, adding: “We were delighted – the documentary tried to portray us in a positive light.
“It was really difficult to do, but it started off our route to success.
“It was a great advert for the team which got a lot of interest from outwith the area, but it was also a great advert for the area.
“It really captured the beauty of Lochaber off the park as well.”
