I know this has been responded to but I'm posting this again. Bring the large screen back to the North Stand. I continue to feel my match day experience from the Holte End is being negatively affected due to its absence. I've paid the best part of 500 quid for that. Awful decision.

I thought you'd paid the best part of £500 to watch the team on the pitch, not the screen.

As for the tannoy system, of all the grounds i've been to, ours is easily the worst and has been for quite some while.

Did the screen not enhance the match day experience though? It did for me re line ups, replays etc. I feel I'm paying £500 for a lesser "experience" than was provided last year.

I'm reading about an enhanced matchday experience and Tim Lovejoy is smiling.

The only thing i can suggest is that you move to another part of the ground from where you can see the Holte End screen, and then maybe you'll have your match day experience back.

What is the actual reason the screen has gone?

There's some sort of patio-doored thing which has appeared underneath where it previously was, but there never seem to be any signs of life in there on match day.

It's at a strange angle, too - doors not facing towards the pitch.

Remember when the best we got was the A-Z board to tell us the half-times?!

Why are you ragging on me? I've got a valid point which I'm addressing to the media rep at Villa who wanted feedback. I know this feedback has been given many times but aren't I entitled to emphasise why I feel removing it is a poor decision? I don't expect to be told to move to another part of the ground from where I've sat as a ST holder for many years.

''Match day experience'' is why they are ragging you.

If you look at the original request from the representative of the club regarding the required feedback, it is they who mention the match-day experience. I'm responding directly to that language used.

Thanks for the improvements so far.
Yesterday we  had 1 other scores update half way through firs half  and nothing in the second half. Could we be more consistent please?
Can we list the teams in formation rather than by numbers?  For example 1, 6, 7, 15, 17, 26,28, 31, 33,48 and 51  is just  crazy!

Ah, this is probably a hangover from O'Neill where listing them by position would have made even less sense.

Please bring back the old North Stand Screen

How do I set this to open membership? Facebook has left me confused just recently with all the changes.

Hi aftab235,
Sorry you did not see the latest scores. We put them up at around 55 and 70 minutes in the second half. We also showed the scores as they came in on the smaller scoreboard.
We are happy to increase the frequency of these and or leave them up for longer if needed.
Thanks

The screens give a lot of information other than replays - for example teams, cards, goalscorers etc.

It may be a "modern" thing but that doesn't equal bad/unecessary. The fact is - it's a facilty we've had for a long while, and we miss it.

I go to other grounds and I can see a screen. In the home end of one of the best grounds in the country I can't.

If the club don't want to address it that's one thing, but the rest of the ground smugly berating The Holte End for wanting the screen back is what is pissing me off.
