ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 After going to watch Man City today, you feel that our screens are not as good as they could be! Like they have latest scores popping up through the game, pre match coverage including live cameras ad interviews. Just think that we could do with some more, erm, features like that to get the full use of them! Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry - LCFC Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 At least we don't have sponsors for fvcking corner kicks any more like we used to! Wow that was bad, remember laughing when I saw the throw-in Naughton was about to take was to be sponsored by Asian Airlines, what a load of sh*t that was!

anotherharboroughfox Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Preferred the old scoreboards. They only good thing that came out of the screens was my free pie and pint for every game they blocked my view, when they weren't up properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promised land Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 OP I think there are one or two differences between our screens and the coverage and that at Eastlands. Theirs were installed as far as I know it when they added the lower tier after the commonwealth games so have been up for getting on 10 years. That means a lot more practice time for them to experiment with,also I think there's are a lot larger than the ones we have, maybe easier to write more text on who knows. One feature they do that I like, when yellow cards are issued they highlight it around the players name, rather like Arsenal do with their huge screens. Our replays need to be up quicker but we don't have the cameras prem sides do to show the numerous angled replays, Eastlands used to show about 2 different ones then a slow motion one. Haven't been up for a good few seasons so might have changed. Overall ours have enough on them for what you need to look at them for, normally you're watching the green bit in front of you.

Finnegan Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 I'm usually watching the pitch. As long as it shows the time and replays the goals I don't give a toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storming Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 I look at the screen for 1 Team News 2 Goal Replays 3 Most importanly TIME when we are winning 1-0 and Boro get a peno in the 90th Thats all I need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 The main thing that grinds my gears about our big screens is the clock and score should stay on throughout the entire match, like it does on tv matches. Especially in injury time when it's needed most! At the moment they just take it off as soon as 45 and 90 mins are up, and I have to sync my watch and count the seconds by. Surely in this day and age we can do better than that!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJS Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 The goal flashes at Filbert Street we great. Would be nice to have those back. I remember in my first season as a city fan, during a win over Middlesbrough I think, seeing 'Newcastle 7 Swindon 1' appear on the screen and being amazed that 'seven' could even happen. I dodn't kmow at the time that Newcastle had done the same to us the previous season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promised land Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Grey fox I don't think any clock or screen at a ground has stoppage time on them. Isn't it the minimum time and it is upto the refs descretion how much he plays as they could have an injury or goal within this time do that means adding more on. Our old red clocks behind the blue frieze never showed stoppage time, bloke near me always moaned about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yojoe36 Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 How about having a screen outside of the ground, like at Villa Park. We had one at the Scunthorpe game when we won League one, and some other game. Might of been Real Madrid, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Guiza Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Don't know if it has been mentioned anywhere else, but i loved the montage of classic players and goals from Weller to Nugent before kick off last night. Always adds a touch off class i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promised land Posted 20 January 2013 Share Posted 20 January 2013 How about having a screen outside of the ground, like at Villa Park. What does that show then just per match build up and interviews or does it show the game when in play for passers by in Aston? Man City have one in City square but I think that is more for the build up as they have all open air bars around there now, they did screen the FA cup there and charged fans to get in, someone I know went.
