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!

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

Out of interest, why do you stop the clock on the scoreboard between the Trinity and North stands at 90 minutes, rather than let it run?

I'm not bothered about it, I just spend a lot of my working life "creating" scoreboards, and injury time / extra time display is a fecking pain in the arse, so was wondering why you took that approach.

Thanks. I must have been concentrating hard to defend our lead!

I accept that the North Stand screen is not being put back up in the immediate future - the reasons for this seem a bit fuzzy but hey ho - i understand that the screen will only go back up once the North Stand is renovated/rebuilt, if this is the case do we know when this is likely to happen?

Just a quick pat on the back to those within the marketing/ticketing team. The 2 for £30 ticket deal for the Albion game was an excellent deal. I ended up taking six non villa or Albion fans to the game due to this deal. They had a superb day and spent a few quid once in the ground so I guess all helps.

Also the mobile beer sellers are also a great idea.

Forget refurbishing the North Stand - invest in keeping us in the EPL not a club with the best stadium in the Championship.

I think it's a Premier League/FA regulation, as the timer at every ground stops at 90.

Can you imagine the scene if 2 minutes are indicated, and a team score a winner with the clock showing 93:00? It's for the same reason they don't show controversial incidents on the big screens.

Off topic here, but on the subject of time added on, they didn't show or announce any after 90 minutes at the Sty last week.

Ah!

Interesting stuff, thanks for that!

Nicardinho is very well informed and has hit the nail on the head.

What content would you like to see on the concourse TV's pre-match?
We are thinking of alternating the TV's so that one has Sky Sports News in and the following one has our exclusive content, interviews, highlights, classic games.
Is this something that would appeal?

[itbrvilla]

It would be nice not to have constant rubbish pumped at us pre kickoff so we can actually build up an atmosphere.  All this match day entertainment rubbish is what makes going to matches so dull.

[villa1]

I disagree. It's good to get tothe ground and be able to see the team line up, how other matches are going, etc.

I don't think it detracts from the matchday experience.   Keep up the good work i'd say.

Totally agree. Think its great to have that build up look at other football news, results etc Would be a bit clinical just to walk in watch a game and then go home ....

Was in the bar in the Upper Holte before the game yesterday. Any chance you could crank the volume down a bit? I know I said it was good to have SSN, etc, but it was bloody loud. We gave up trying to converse in the end and went back upstairs to talk instead.

Thanks for the score updates. Was great yesterday with all of the other goals coming through.

[cdbearsfan]

I like the score updates. Can we have a 'bing-bong' sound when one comes up so we know when to check the scoreboard like they do in Italy?

Also, at half-time, can you list all the results not just the Premier League ones? Yesterday it just showed a Villa badge after listing the Prem scores, which seems a bit pointless as I already know I am at Villa Park. Show all the scores, and in between each division have a brief advert. People will still watch for when the division they care about comes up so the advertisers will like it. Plus a lot of people have a soft spot for a lower league club... eg Walsall, Tammurf, Clyde and everybody's favourite Whoeversplayingleeds FC.

[The Left Side]

The score updates were great yesterday, well done Villa
