SouthStand Sandwich Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 After yesterday’s match where the time on the scoreboard didn’t appear for a while and later downsys weekly gaff of the wrongly named substitution… Andy Cornick ?? … got me thinking… can we just update / revise our scoreboard format to show the lineups throughout the game including the substitutions rather than the bland format it is now… offers nothing… and as for the visual footage… don’t get me started… extended highlights would be nice 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 They do that at Blackburn (probably other places too) and it’s really good. Yellow cards, subs etc. I’m not sure our screens are big enough though. When they put the whole opposition 11 up on one screen before the game it’s too small to read from the other side of the ground. But before we start rethinking the scoreboard, please please please can we figure out how to make the PA system audible in the Dolman….. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 As long as the clock is there, I'd be up for more useful info being displayed. It would be nice if the could use the entire screen for replays. It would put the size of the picture up to about a 12 inch portable when seen from the dolman.

O'Garlandinho Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Another sub balls up, how on Earth has he still this gig? A bit like referees, it appears there is no consequence for being cr@p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to boost the sound level to 11. Didn't make it any clearer though. 1970s British Rail would be proud. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the volume that’s the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStand Sandwich Posted April 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 It would stop me hassling people around me asking who the opposite number so and so is if I could see the name on the scoreboard… in the absence of physical footy programmes and a competent stadium announcer … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Humble Realist Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 At half time they dont even announce the scores anymore. I wouldnt mind but it's not like their is a packed half time entertainment schedule. How much effort is it to out the scores on the screen and read them out ? It's pretty much of interest to every fan in the ground too 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliOTIB Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Personally believe that Downsy needs to shut up at least 5 mins before kick off. Especially when its a big game, both sides are singing their heart out and you cant hear fck all because hes shouting. Get rid of that crap galvanise song before kick off aswell 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galvanise I'm a bit meh about but pre game music if done poorly can crowd out fan atmosphere, ours is hit and miss but the modern game I guess.

Harry Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 I think we need a “Days since last penalty award” on the scoreboard and ensure it flashes to get the refs eye whenever he makes a balls-up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 I don’t have a problem with the screens at all. I like them especially when they replay a City goal. I’d like to see a replay of goals City concede as well to get an idea if it was down to good play or dodgy defending but can understand why they’re not shown. 21 hours ago, pillred said: Bring back the alphabet boards around the perimeters I say, (for the older posters) :laugh:. I well remember those days! We’d sometimes see guys with little trannies listening at half time for the other scores.

I couldn’t hear what was being said, would rather them up on the screen. There’s too much chat at half time, too many announcements etc. The Tannoy is too loud in South Stand, so can’t talk to the people around me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Just get rid of Downsy and employ someone who is a long time City fan and Football fan, not a kid's entertainer 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 I'm ambivalent. As long as they don't go down the Doncaster route and announce who the players are sponsored by each time they are subbed on or off. They even announce corners sponsored by every time they get one.

Very Bristol City of course, but anyone involved with graphics will tell you that this particular combination is among the hardest to read. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
