The new screens are now up and working at the Liberty stadium. Let's hope they show a rerun of yesterday's goals at the Burnley match.
Damn it - will be in Belgium and will miss the Burnley match (have loaned my season ticket to a mate for a day) Big screens at little Swansea - who woulda thunk it 10 years ago!! SCFC is the gift that keeps on giving; investing the Premier League money wisely for the future stability of the club - sticking to a playing philosophy regardless of who is at the helm and continually making the many doubters look like the prize lemons they are. Laughed my arse off at Phil Neville on MoTD2 tonight trying to backtrack on his 'Swansea are gonna be relegated' comment! The Manure game will live long in the memory and hopefully it will be replayed on the big screens at some point this season!
Not so much backtracking as admitting he got it wrong. Cant say fairer than that in my eyes. Not often you get people doing that let alone pundits.
I read that totally wrong !! I thought I had missed a week of my life and you wanted to show a rerun of yesterdays goals at the Burnley match - as in the goals we scored against Burnley yesterday !
I am not sure that we need screens, they are not needed.. Would have prefered alittle more effort to get more seats.
Agree, it's a small expense in the grand scheme of things to have the screens installed and has been a long time coming. With Phase 1 of the expansion being an expansion to the East Stand in a similar nature to Cardiff's stadium expansion, the roofs holding the screens won't be touched for a few years yet so a good choice to get this done now.
They are not at a lot of clubs none at Old Trafford or Anfield. I know some people like them but i am not sure what purpose they serve. Maybe it adds to the entertainment. When at Reading I found them a distraction. I can see it for the Rugby with Video desicions but I was Kind of hoping they wuld piss off somewhere else and leave our ground to us.
can i ask you, what you thimk it brings to the game and what purpose they serve. Just wondering what others think as I said I dont see what purpose they serve.
Well looking at the cost for sponsoring the attendance for example ,hen I'd say they're here as another source of income for the club
Boundy so the advertising on the screens will pay for them and be another source of income. But what does it bring to the match experience. I have never felt the need to look at screens and certainly didnt need them on Saturday.
I go to see Spurs a few times a season and if you get in early, and also at half time, they are a good source of entertainment as they predominantly show goals from previous games and half time show the 1st half main action. Having said I guess the main reason is that its another income stream.
Same here , they're a distraction imo , although not as much as taking iPads and the such like into the ground aka Man Utd recent announcement banning said items . I'd rather watch the game then after watch the 'experts' pick the bones out the game after ,which normally is good for a laugh at least .The problem is they're in prominent positions in the ground so you can't help be drawn to watching the bloody things .If the club are intent on improving the match day experience then sort out the half time "entertainment " which is shocking in the extreme .Pity the club doesn't go back to having a couple of kids games on like the we had at the Vetch ,always entertaining and great for the kids .
If they're going to be putting on replays, match footage etc. during the game, I don't agree with that. It's not required in my opinion. They'll be a little more fancy than what we have, but that's it really. When we didn't have them, people complained it made us look unprofessional to have a new stadium without them. I don't think we desperately needed them, but it certainly aids our outside image. I used to read reviews from away fans about the Liberty and the scoreboards were always a negative talking point in those reviews. We can say "Who cares?", or we can sort it out. We've sorted it out and respect for doing so. I also wholly agree with the commercial aspect. The adverts shown after goals and during substitutions will be expensive to say the least. Over the course of a season, you could be looking at £500,000 to £1,000,000 extra revenue. Not bad for literally doing nothing other than have the screens.
I find it strange then that the likes of Man Utd and Liverpool dont have them, unless there is no room to put them. Surely they would make a fortune from the advertising.
Bit like chocolate eclairs, tlf. They serve no purpose and we could all do without them. But they're a nice luxury.
That has to be the most ludicrous and idiotic comment I have ever heard on this or any other forum. THEY ARE CHOCOLATE WITH CREAM AND PASTRY AND WITHOUT THEM THE WORLD WOULD TRULY BE A MUCH WORSE PLACE TO LIVE IN!!!!!!
Why do some people have to always find something to moan about? If you don't want to look at the screens then don't - it's that simple. I like reviewing the goals from different angles whilst I'm at the game. And even though I was at Old Trafford I'm still looking forward to seeing the goals replayed on Saturday. (I've only watched MoTD 4 times so far!) Also I think it gees up the crowd before the match to see past successes. And it brings in more income. And we won't be laughed at for having such pathetic information boards. They haven't got them at Man U's ground - so what, we're better than them!
