For 45 quid in the upper trinity or witton they should get little tvs next to the seat if they can't see the Holte screen.

And a Thai girl serving food and drinks.

Sitting as I do in the lower holte I used to have the same predicament every game of do I turn left to try and look through the bodies at a closer screen or look across to the clearer view but further away - that has now been removed from my worry asd i now only have the one choice !! - For me not only the screen going but what is that viewing box thing there now with a great pillar that is the north stand right in the middle suppost to be ??

Off thread, but I didnt know where to ask... just a few seats from me and my wife lives a character that spends the match spewing vitriol at all players, ref and manager.  Now, im not whiter than white in the potty mouth region (grew up on a farm, worked in a factory, so I know must of the meanings, and have used a number myself), but can keep it to a minimum, only for great or poor moments.  My concern is, this guy can spoil the game with his constant barrage (for instance, started cheering the Rapid team towards the end of the game the other day), and after forking out for two season tickets, I really want to see the game, join in with the crowd etc.  There is a little kid that sits next to him, and a bunch of young kids in front.  Is it something I should report, or will I get laughed at, or something I just just get on with?

FFS, was there a problem with not being able to watch the big screen for the 100 plus years before it was there?

Some football fans these days expect nothing but 5-star pampering. Watch the action on the pitch, thats what you pay your money for.

I must admit, I do find it annoying having to crane my neck (sit in UT) to see the one in the Holte / Trinity corner.

The thing those bozos on VT are forgetting is that it isn't just about seeing the team line ups, it is seeing the stats / bookings / replays they show, too.

For the money paid these days, 5 star pampering isn't that unreasonable ;)

It's not asking for much, just something basic that every premier league club basically has these days.

However, I think it was mistake to remove the other screen, although there is probably a perfectly good reason why.

Annoyingly sensible post of the day.

I sit in Upper Trinity and can not see the other screen. Since you can hear it, it's like knowing there's a party going on but you're not invited. For the money we pay etc etc grumble grumble.

It's useful becuase it has the team sheets on so you know who is who on the opposition team, you get to see the half time scores, the highlights, especially the highlights.

I really hope they replace it soon, if they ever intend to do so.

It's not 'pampering', it's match atomsphere related - that and information / replays.

FFS, what timewarp are you in man ?

Goodbye Giant Screen
May you ever grow in our hearts.
You had the scores displayed in lights
From England's furthest parts
You showed them to the Holte End,
The goals from every single game.
Now you belong to heaven,
and the stars spell out your name.

And it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind, never fading
with the sunset when the rain set in.
And your scoreliness will be displayed here,
along England’s greenest hills;
Your lightbulbs burned out long before your legend ever will.
