You could have waited until I'd got to my usual spot in the west stand before taking the picture

Wave and I'll do it again

So where are the LED lights?

Above your head in all four corners of the ground.

Not installed yet, but we have two weeks before the next match.

Oh! He meant the LED Advertising Boards.

No we don't.

The IMG submission is today.

I saw, even touched, the LED boards when they were installed last week.

I can only assume we have hired them in for before deadline, got the points, then removed them until next season.

They would be sat doing nothing for 4 months otherwise.

Yep. Ellis said he'd got agreement from RFL that they would count as long as they could prove they had them ready.

Presumed they were still going in and would be done by 12/13th. Would've been nice to see them for the play offs then off hired them, but if it's all been agreed then no point wasting money. I can't tell whether the big screen is new or not, it still seems to be fraught with issues so guessed that it was still the old one.

Yesterday the screen wasn't displaying the game 'live', so I assumed it was buggered; although at least we had a visible scoreboard

I don't think it's a whole new screen - just extra panels added to bring it to the required size??

As I understand it, we are getting a brand new screen as they are talking about the options for the one removed.
But not sure whether that is connected to it not being on for Doncaster.

We need to submit our application to IMG today therefore how long do we have to rectify the screen and have the advertising boards fitted to count against our score.

I don't think that's going to be a problem as long as we've bought them.

Matt Ellis did say that the electronic perimeter boards were installed for the IMG inspection and, with their agreement, were then taken down to store for next season rather than over-winter outside.

Yes, on Saturday morning he mentioned the new screen will possibly be in the south west corner, no confirmation of use for the smaller screen, advertising possibly.

I think you have that the wrong way round for location.

I have no idea myself but I’d say the south west corner is a far better location.

Agree, as I've said before, in the North Stand, the nearer you get to the Donny Road turnstiles the less you see of the screen.

From where we were standing on Sunday we didn't even know the screen was acting as the scoreboard as it appeared to be blank from what we could see. I kept having to ask the grandson what the score was!

South West Corner would 100% make more sense.

Also it would make loads more sense to have another 'clock'. The one on the gantry on the western terrace is pretty useless. One in the east above the hospitality would be good

I wonder how people knew the score when the old score board was there? It's in exactly the same place.

I don’t know. I’m of the opinion it should stay in north west.

I feel like when the west is re-developed that there’s a lot of space in that south west that could be used to perhaps build something like a gym or some other facility. If you move the screen there then you lose a fair amount of that space.

It’s not as simple as that though. It depends on many factors which are future plans and accessibility etc etc

It is a good point that the screen can't be seen from much of north stand but I'm not sure it will be better at the opposite end of the field.
I'd leave it there, maybe change the angle.
Second screen would be good if we have it standing around but south east as already said, is valuable space.
