vulva Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Mentioned thus issue on another thread. Over the winter months with the nights drawing in, they will be a bugger. Sitting low down down in the South is the worst. You have the boards on all 3 sides of your view, and it's shocking. Furthermore, Brentfords kit against the red Ladbrokes add was a nightmare. Initially, I honestly thought that Westwoods mistake was down to him losing the flight of the ball. I'd be very interested to see if the players have issues with these.

The higher up and steeper you are, the less the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoots but cant hit Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Advertising boards or not you cannot see if ball crosses line at Lepp from Kop , never have been able to so before these boards it was a case of " you pays your money and takes your chance." But from row 11 on Kop I now cannot not see the ball on the floor against the white SkyBet advert or the big yellow band thing whatever that was. If this was theatre or cinema they would have to sell seats as "restricted view". Also having difficulty with the font on the board (like so many people around me).

Aladdin Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Really hard to see clearly from the South Stand, ruins the atmosphere of a night game and far, far too bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike312 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I don't mind them but I did notice that when the Skybet (other betting companies are available) ad came on which is mainly white it really light up the stadium and sort of makes you jump a bit and think "what was that" for a second. One thing I did notice last night that I hadn't before was that most of the local business signs had been removed from the Lepp and over the boxes, it makes the stadium look cleaner but I wonder if they've been told it's either electronic or nothing?

The score and time are fine, the player names no chance! Agreed, From the North Stand the player names are unreadable from anywhere beyond the half way line towards the Kop end. Absolute waste of time trying to read names from the Kop. Like the big screen, replays etc but don't spoil it with such a tiny font. Advertising boards a bit bright for night matches if you're down near pitch level.I would think coaching staff may have a problem with it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes....and just got this reply.....doesn't really say a great deal Thank you for the message following last night’s game. As I am sure you can appreciate, LEDs are now the norm in football and an essential commercial requirement for clubs. We will always try to optimise the brightness to the conditions so that they are not so bright to be distracting, whist still giving visibility and value for our sponsors/advertisers The luminosity is turned up in bright sunny weather so they are more visible against the sunshine and sometimes the balance may be disturbed between day and night matches – this is something we will monitor moving forward. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hoardings are temporary so I didn't think there was any point. I also emailed req larger font size lettering. Aside from squad names and numbers, the club displays other commercial messages e.g. Forthcoming Xmas dinner events which might generate income to its MOST CAPTIVE audience. It's commercially stupid to shoot yourself in the foot with displays that can't be made out. Mind you, the commercial awareness of Wednesday recently....

Yesterday it was weeing it down and night time. Not good enough. Sod the sponsors if I can't bleeding see the ball. I wondered why there had been a delay with the Kop celebrating Hooper's goal. In the South it was hard to see when the ball was towards the North stand. Was exactly the same for the Sunderland match. The next few matches should be OK but in winter when it gets dark before 5 it will be a problem if it doesn't improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
