Whitchurch1966 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 This may have been asked before, if so I must have missed it. Why can't we have half time scores on the big screens? When I first started going to Ashton Gate a bloke would come out at half time with a wheelbarrow and metal numbers and put the scores up on hooks, match reference letters were in the programme. If we can't have them on the screen can we get the wheelbarrow out again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Also, teams on the screen whilst game on Better than club badges and more informative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth asking a Mod to transfer this to the Q&A section so @Mkelly can answer it... @phantom @Dollymarie @RedM @WesM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think that the reason they can't be put on the screen is the majority of info on the screen is fed into the computer that shows it days before the game. Will tag @AdamB so he can explain more fully because I don't quite get how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitchurch1966 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I've been away with City for years, never seen a large screen that didn't show the scores at half time. Mind you I have been to lots of grounds where away supporters can't see the screen so they might be showing funeral director adverts at half time as well and I would never know it. Time for man in a white coat with the wheelbarrow I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm pretty sure @AdamB said something about us getting a new fangled system next year, and for this season we're just getting by with something very basic. Could be the reason? Though scores and teams do seem quite basic things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamB Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 That is certainly the aim from next season, when we look to improve the kit we're using for the big screens. Regards, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Adam Will it show the substitutions as well Adam? With the sound system in the SS unable to be understood it would be nice to know who has come on for the opposition. Unless you have an in depth knowledge of say, Ipswich`s squad and can recognise the player you haven`t a clue who has come on and whether he`s a striker, defender or whatever..

And also a thing I've seen at other away grounds is confirmation of any players booked, sometimes it's not clear if a ref has booked a player, never mind who. Then at times we manage to switch away from our adverts, can we have the team lists up with little red or yellow cards against players names, especially useful for opposition players.
