I’d imagine that’s what the delay is, tapping into their neighbours Electricity supplies.

You make sure you have somewhere to put it and then order it when the frame is ready for it to go on to. The tech of these tellies moves so fast that the price of the old ones drops steadily. It probably came with a Betamax recorder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People get their electricty cut off for all manner of reasons. There's hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and not paying the bill. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 1 hour ago, Eddie Hitler said: Brilliant! Just cutting and pasting the whole article in case it disappears: Big Screen Update Bristol Rovers are disappointed to announce that there has been a further delay to the installation of the big screen at the Memorial Stadium, meaning it will not be in operation for tomorrow’s game or the next one....and probably the one after that too. As previously stated the club purchased the new 30sqm screen in July last year from Stadia Solutions, a leading international sports and entertainment agency that specialises in fully managed technology and media platforms, with the aim of having the screen installed next to the Brunel sponsored Tent by the end of 2018, but these things take time you seeeeee. Although the screen was delivered on time in October, due to its size a special bespoke support structure was required to attach the screen to the current tent at the stadium. Unfortunately, the unique nature of the tent led to various complications with Stadia Solutions’ sub-contractor as they couldn’t fit it without the wind blowing bringing the whole tent down, resulting in subsequent delays with installation. Work started this week , ahead of the new proposed completion date of this weekend. However, the contractors have experienced further unforeseen issues on site, in other words they haven’t been paid which has delayed installation slightly. The team has been working tirelessly to fix the problems encountered but unfortunately the screen will not be installed and operational in time for tomorrow’s game as it requires time to evolve. Work will continue next week and completed as soon as Wally pays the frigging bill. We apologise for the further inconvenience and would like to thank all supporters and screen sponsor Babestationfor their continued patience. Fans can claim a free out of date packet of crisps from the condemned pasty shack for any inconvenience this might cause. https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2019/april/12.4.19-screen-statement/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 sewage solutions or whoever supplied the screen,probably want cash on completion after hearing about fencegate etc. would kind of explain a delay if they have to pay for something, they don't do that kind of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the Fewers think a sponsor has funded the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
