Buxtongent Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Why all this fuss about a new scoreboard? The only thing it tells you of any major importance is the present score, and the time played (Hence the time left to play) If you're at the game, surely you can remember which team's scored and how many. If you can't remember that, your memory must be worse than mine, and that's saying a lot. As for the time left to lay, that is entirely in the hands of the Referee, who will NOT look at the scoreboard for his info.The only thing it could do is play replays of contentious decisions, which only lead to arguments among spectators.To be absolutely fair to the Ref, who, good or bad he may be, has to make his decision instantly, and whose only assistance is from ONE of his Linos, Assistant ref call 'em what you like. Until the rules are altered and a fourth , or even a fifth ref to whom the main Official can call to look at replays before making his final decision, a scoreboard serves little purpose. Spend the money on either the Playing Staff or the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend the money on either the Playing Staff or the ground. Because the current one makes the ground look tired and dated. Changing it shows the owner cars about the ground and we are trying to improve the club rather than be left behind the times stagnating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AbbeyOwl Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I always think the scoreboard obsessed defines whether you have pubes or not. Mad on scoreboards = no pubes yet No witty comments about shaving them off that joke would be below the belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Don't get me wrong. I'm not against a new scoreboard, but I feel that our new owner should and will get his priorities right. After all remember that HIS budget, like ours, has its limits, and to my way of thinkings his priorities should be - i The Team!!!!! 2 The pitch which will include the drainage 3 The Scoreboard/Cosmetic Improvements to the ground. Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day, even without Thai labour/cash. Looking enviously on the Desso/Artificial Grass sites I notice that the new surface at the Sty will cost a measly £800k which gives some idea of what requires spending to bring the Old Lady to the standards we are demanding.

It's not really up for discussion but seeing as you might have missed the previous threads/posts etc, let me tell you that it definitely does not comply with Google's rules and if they get the site shut down Neil will be reyt angrymad innit.

Lincs Owl Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Easy to see that most posters on here have zilch commercial experience. The current score board brings in virtually nothing in revenue. If the new one brings in just £1000 per game that is £25000 per season. £250,000 over 10 years. Believe me,as someone who was in charge of an advertising budget in a small business, I know that scoreboard will bring in far more than 1k per game, even with just 20,000 crowds. Its a captive audience.. You can't help but notice the adverts. But all we get on here are dimwits blabbing on about replays and clocks. Drag yourselves into the 21st century.

Or we can afford all three...we are spending a £1m on the pitch alone. I don't think this is an either/or situation. You can't aim for the PL in two years on a shoestring budget Edited March 6, 2015 by goh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
