    Two huge Plasma TV screens to be fitted where the old scoreboards were, these will show highlights at half time. Work to commence straight after the game against Morecambe.

    Yeah one will go below the roof and the plan is for the other to go above the North Stand, interesting stuff suppose it will bring in advertising too. Im told the second one may be tricky because of the sheer size and weight.

    Also been told that young Connor Whickham is looking very sharp in training

    Great news, updating the stadium and moving forward.

    Looking forward to seeing how the new set up works as well.

    I thought this was happening at the end of the season. Are these screens really a million quid each? Even with the associated wiring, set up etc this seems steep.

    Good move by the club tho.

    Heard some positive stuff about how the club are moving forward under the current regime, I think Niall Quinn did us proud and did as he said handing the club over to someone who could take us to the next level. Very professional and much more business like

    Get your seat near the Plasmas for the winter.
    If they are owt like mine, they throw out one hell of a lot of heat.

    <<<Doesn't need the heating on. :p

    You cant beat the elements, the TV screens are a big project as was the relaying of the pitch.

    Will they show instant replays so we can see if we've been robbed by the ref?

    They banned the replaying of controversial incidents during live play a couple years back.

    They did that because it was showing the officials up to be twats who need some serious Lasek/Lasik treatment and, not because it would inflame a situation which is the reason they gave.
