North Stand big (ish) screen in corner is no more
« on: September 02, 2010, 11:40:14 AM »
I am miffed that the board saw fit to remove the corner screen and 'replace' it with a mickey mouse score only one the other side of the North Stand.

From the Upper Trinity, the 'old' screen was a part of the ground and information to boot.

If the screen was taken down and not put back up due to financial retraints, then I think it's a poor decision by the board.

Anyone else missing the big screen ??

I sit in L4 and the screen no longer being there is very annoying!

it's funny how the trinity has the most expensive seats in the ground yet now they cant even see a TV screen.

Does that corner of the ground look any better since the work was done? I wasn't sure why the box and the screen were taken out and I guess it must be in preparation of the stand's demolition next year?

I assumed it was to do with refurbishments. Wouldn't they pay for themselves with advertising etc?

hardly any difference from the outside in my opinion just looks odd now that there's a massive space that used to have a screen in it.

I thought the removal of the screen was only temporary. Is is gone for good ?

Just like to point out that the view of the screen from the Witton Upper is excellent.

It's annoying as you can't watch a replay of something that has just happened, something I've become used to since over the last few years.

You mean the other screen, one that we ( in the Trinity) can't see at all ?

The new mini scoreboard looks cheap and poxy.
I'd expect to see that at Wycombe Wanderers or a club of that ilk.
Not one of the top grounds in the country.

 We sit in the middle trinity and we can see the Holte/trinity road screen fine.

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

That's the one. Id just like to confirm that you can see it really well from the upper Witton.

Good stuff.

The cheap one looks so Kiddy Harriers - there was a time in Randy's tenure when he didn't do things like that without some sort of explanation and maybe some consultation.

The rotating screen on the Holte carpark isn't working either at the moment.

Has the board consulted Uswitch ?

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.

We must be one of the only grounds in the country where the away fans can see a screen that a lot of the home fans can't.
