adamski Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 I sit at the top of the lower LS, the boards are an issue, I find certain colours very distracting, the yellow and white were particularly painful, I had to put on my sunglasses, as I am very sensitive to bright light. It was slightly better last night, but still distracting. I believe, for some, the bright animated images could well induce migraine headaches. That aside, I do not pay nearly £600 a year to watch advertising hoardings, indeed as they are so annoying if I was in the market to purchase any products or services the advertisers supply I'd probably put my business elsewhere. This applies to ashton gate and all televised matches too, many England games have been particularly blighted by them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinsleburg Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Much better last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 My problem with the illuminated signs are when they move in the same direction as the player running along the touchline. It’s like watching Sonic the Hedgehog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denbury Red Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 I would agree that things were much better last night - very few bright white and orange - many more Blues and Reds which weren’t blinding. Hopefully signs of things to come …. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 The issue Saturday was probably they were on in the daylight so a bit brighter and wasn't switched down when it got dark. Last night it was dark before we started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't once hidden the fact that I'm a reporter for the Post on this forum. In fact, that reply you quoted was in response to someone joking that I should complain to myself about the bright lights. I think that whole exchange maybe went over your head, perhaps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tristan Cork Posted December 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Just now, James54De said: About as well composed as anything I’ve seen written, by you, in the Post. Ah so you ARE a fan then. An avid reader! I knew it! in my defence tho, all anyone has to do to see that I'm a reporter at the Post, apart from using the internet, is to click on my little badge thing on here, and it comes with all the other times people have had a go at me for being a reporter on the Post. So that might be a bit of a clue? Just now, RedLionLad said: Who the hell would admit to that? Ha ha. Hello! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Cork Posted December 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Anyhow, the good news is, the email I, and others, sent to the stadium asking them to turn the bright digital ad screens down, seems to have worked. It's been better since then. So there we go... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of a dog running along the advertising boards, a digital image of an opposition player could be used. Maybe a bit of confusion?

Hmm, one could say that life must be dull if you resurrect threads that have been dormant for 3 weeks to have a dig at someone who perhaps had the nerve to not know who you are (no me neither). Watch out for the stones in that glass house of yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
