Babylon Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 You're more likely to get the bends from the beer at the KP than a hangover. I didn't drink that shite!! the money we receive through advertising makes it worth it though Cool, when do I receive my cheque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilo Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 Not for me, I've seen it happen, cheap tickets, clubs ran within their means, standing, consistent Saturday games, if it can happen in Germany I firmly hold the belief it can here one day. The day I 'accept' thats gone and never coming back is the day I probably walk away from the game anyway. It'll take a significant bubble burst before that can happen, there are just too many vested interests in football being the way it is. It's a tragic shame because Germany should be the model by which English football is run, on and off the pitch, but we'll be waiting a while I'm afraid.

Mike the Metal Ed Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 I've only seen them in use at Villa Park, and all I noticed was Elvis Hammond's phantom (Ankle) injury occasionally flashing up in the team news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 Cov could solve all their problems and get big crowds in if they just covered the pitch with them, perhaps a name changed would help - Coventry Advertisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VLC86 Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 Teething problems ? Do you really think the club cares if you except them or not ? you are nothing to them just background bodies for the tv camera's . Well I for one have had enough of blasting shitty music in my ears, paying rediculous money for cheap shoddy shirts just so I can walk around advertising their crappy duty free company like a walking sandwich board. Their absolute idolisation of that great whore Sky tv, sticking two fingers up to the loyal fans who could not get to a match that should never go on in the first place . This is no longer the club I have supported for over fifty years it's is a marketing tool for some foreign money launderers with no historic link to the club whatsoever. Wake up and smell the cheap coffee you are all being had bit by bit and most of you don't even know it. Have you considered how we financed the signings of players like Wood and Knockaert? FFS it's a business that is making losses at the minute so why not try and get some extra cash in? Fair point if your argument was it restricts your view but your moaning about advertising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flowwolf Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 I complained to the club by email last night and received a reply today. Basically, their line is that it is to enhance the customer experience, everywhere else does it, and nobody else has complained. I have had eye strain all day today, something I never normally have. I won't be renewing my season ticket if they persist with these boards. Ah so the weasle words " enhance customer experience " tells you all you need to know about modern footballI It " enhances" fvck all and the experience is sickening but they are making out like they are doing you a favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promised land Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 I really want to go to Thailand, it looks amazing. When the 'it looks amazing' bit came up in pink, I thought it was an advert for some sanitary towel. The yellow SBOBet ones were one of the worst offenders.

Larry_LCFC Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 Lets face it. The fans of Leicester City really are the biggest bunch of moaning halfwits in England. Moan about the players, the manager, the big screens, the food, the prices, the fanstore and NOW the advertising boards. Are people not happy unless they have something to slag off about the club. Get ****ing real. The owners are trying to run a business.Times have changed. Football is about money and we wont get anywhere without it. If electronic advertising boards can rake money in, then im afraid its tough. I mean eye strain, really? Take a pair of sunglasses if it hurts you so much.

fox_whirl Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 I think the point is how bright it was which meant the game was harder to follow. I'm not bothered about having the advertising but last night that brought on a headache! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, doctor, for that helpful suggestion. Yes, eyestrain, really. It's actually halfwitted and simplistic to lump everyone together under one label of "moaners" rather that take what they are saying seriously. This is the only moan I've had about anything to do with the Leicester City Experience. I don't get any pleasure out of complaining, and regardless of your vast medical knowledge, I did have good reason to complain. I refuse to put up with the conditions I endured last night. If that means saving my money and doing something else on a Saturday or whatever day Sky dictates we play, then so be it. If King Money drives enough people away you'll have the whole stadium to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously reckon many people would stop going because of them? Not a chance. You could quite easily move and sit in the west stand or sk4 area and not really have to look at them if its a massive issue. They dont go along the east stand I'm suprised you manage to even turn your computer on when you are wearing your King Power sandwich board 24/7. Or not. I just think its pathetic that people suddenly turn on the owners/brand as soon as they dont like something. Why do you think they have done it? To bring money into the club. To pay for players like Wood and Nugent. If King Power can take Leicester to the premier league, then bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they are making money on it then it's fine, no matter how it alters people's viewing. If that's the case you won't mind me giving the club a £10 to come and sit near you and poke you in the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats where we want to go and remain, then its a tiny price to pay. Not easy to be financially sustainable in the top flight. Every penny counts.

If you dont like something I think people are entitled to mention it. These advertising boards pay a pittance compared to the money we have borrowed off this lot as well. Advertising or even gate reciepts seem to have no bearing on our transfer budget or wage structure judging by the last couple of years, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it wasnt based on money. I wish clubs couldnt buy titles. I dont agree with it at all but Im just being realistic. Times have changed since Filbert Street. Theres no point burying our heads in the and pretending its any different. Football has changed forever and I agree its sad. But thats the reality.

So having shifted to now accepting that the boards did cause eyestrain and headaches, are you saying it's acceptable for the owners to install something that causes physical discomfort to the spectators?

Welcome to modern football. Its not pretty but its a reality. I bet having electronic advertisement boards is an entry requirement to the premier league. It is the most money centred league in the world The owners arent just out to upset people you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
