I just assumed we'd jumped on Dave's Big Austerity Trip and we're looking to save a bit on the 'leccy.

Couldn't give a shite in all honesty, although I do occaisionally pine the super "speccy style" pixelated scoreboards bought by Doug in about 1991.

It was Martin's. He took it home with him, along with the balls they use in training.

Is that a new box they've put in just underneath where the screen was? Few more quid to add to the coffers.

it's a walkway i believe there's usually a line of chefs stood watching the game from there in the second half I presume having finished the meals for the boxes etc.

I was told by a tour guide a month or so ago that it was MON's decision to remove it as he doesn't like them.

Why only the one screen I don't know.

He probably couldn't see the one in the Trinity/Holte corner from the touchline? Strange man....

I heard it is Randy who doesn't like them.

The club still give no answers to this.

That corner of the ground looks dreadful without the screen from the Trinity Upper- plus it was very informative.

I agree.

I can't imagine it was removed for asthetic purposes over information/replays/etc so perhaps there's another reason for it going.

Has anyone asked The General?

No they removed the so called super box and screen and added a walkway.

I quite like the space where the North/Witton stand screen was, as I can now look off into the distance at the hills while the away team attack our goal.........

Doc, if you're on the Holte Lower, you can see the one between the Holte and the Trinity, so it's no problemo to you......

Meanwhile, back in the Trinity, it's not a pretty sight that's been left vacant I can tell you.

It's all to do the the masterplan to redevelop the North Stand. There are some quite detailed plans knocking around for what it will look like, although I've not actually seen them.

I'm still annoyed its gone too.

The other thing is presumably the work they did on that corner over the summer was part of a grander plan in terms of redeveloping the north stand - now if they have done that work, they must have some idea as to what they are doing, therefore there must be some plans prepared for the North Stand that the club haven't released yet?!
