Fan park big screen.....

[Richwilkins50]

Since the fan park has been around, always wondered why they don't show the Saturday morning sky sports kick off on the screen above the sports bar for the people outside having a drink/fag/food. Or have they and I've missed it? I remember they showed some athletics thing on there one Saturday but only ever noticed advertising since.

I don`t think they`re allowed to contractually - Sky won`t permit showing it outside the stadium.

If you have only ever noticed the advertising its done its job to be fair

Just eyes down and head for the Thatchers. Good decision.

They should stream it via Kodi then, they'd save loads AND they could show the Prem 3pm kickoffs too

I'm telling my personal account manager you said that.

So what's the point of the outside big screen, if it's not for showing some pre-match footie?

Might as well just stuck a billboard up there.

Pretty sure it's rights issues.

Sports rights are pretty costly in UK...guarded jealously. Either rights issues or cost club would need to pay for outdoor screen.

Costs pubs a fair whack these days apparently.

I guess it is a modern version of a billboard, at least with a screen multiple adverts can be shown

If @Bristol Rob has his way we could watch back to back episodes of `Lovejoy`. Possibly while eating chips.

You know it. I'd buy a season ticket for that. I'd even rent* my box set of episodes to Bristol Sport.

(*Reasonably charged, negotiations conducted with my personal account manager)

Pretty sure there's need a to be a huge fan village for an event of the magnitude of Lovejoy being shown. You could be onto something here. This could be massive.

Just to give a bit of an idea- pub landlords need not apply to answer this as they know no doubt. 

Read the other day, about the rising pub prices to show football. Average pub season ticket is?
