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.'"
It was South West that was mentioned.
If they could move it a bit towards the catering facilities on the West, then you could see it beeter from the North, that would be better.

Maybe better for you but maybe not better for future planning.
When it comes down to it Ellis will decide and likely have its position decided on after planning and consultation for all considerations relating to fans, viewing, access, health and safety, power supply, future planning and space etc.

I meant South West. My mistake.

| Quote: Trojan Horse "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'"
what about when the north is redeveloped? the north west corners isn't going to be left alone, I'd guess and the north would maybe stretch (with a roof to cover that area)

I think it will be left the longest I suspect.
If the north is done it will be to the steps at best. If the west is done it will go as far as the touch line/bar area. The west corner will likely remain for some time.
There is some ideal space in that bottom south west corner to add a facility of reasonable size. I would imagine when the west is redeveloped it will have a 2 floor building on the south west corner that will be utilised for a player development facility.
That said, if Ellis has bought the bathroom place next to car park then that could become a training/development facility also if you get rid of the pavement between car park and that building, close off the car park road entrance. Level what’s there and you can build a facility twice the size as you can then utilise the large car park for visitors outside match day.
There are numerous options. I’m sure Ellis will have a PM and all these will be considered using the correct tools.

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 would agree that it is pretty hopeless to see the clock unless you are in the East stand but I think it's primary purpose is to be seen from wherever the official timekeeper is located, presumably the East Stand. It also has to be visible to the referee and presumably can't be replicated except through Sky.
As all SL games are televised, we just need to see the main screen.

Solution get yer hand in yer pockets n get in the east stand , perfect view of the big screen , simple

| We have to remember that next year it wont just be about the screen being used as a scoreboard, we will all want to watch when the video ref goes to the screen.

I loved my many years behind the sticks with or without the roof Barnsley ,it wasn’t the standing that was the problem it was the walking at the end that left me looking like a robot trying to get the knees working ,all very painful. At 6’5 the seats are snug but I can stand and stretch my legs and so far not had the same trouble with seating as standing

Surely if they are to utilise the north stand to its full potential at some point won’t that require the roofline to be lifted to access the space at the rear ,which hopefully will give fans a better view of the screen to a point

Exactly or a new roof altogether which would probably be not too much more than moving and extending etc (maybe even cheaper!).
If we are looking to seriously increase attendence then the north is the obvious choice. You could squeeze 2k more if a proper job was done all way to the rear. As you say the screen then would be visible mostly
There’s a knock on effect for everything which is why it will be project managed properly and the correct decisions made I’m sure from Ellis and family.

| There are plans afoot for large parts of the stadium ,both inside and out to be redeveloped, let’s not forget about the kitchen/bed shop on donny rd , that is going to blow you away when it’s redeveloped . We are very very lucky to have a family that are mad passionate about our club ,and will stop at nothing ,and have the financial clout to realise those ambitions that will drive this club to the next level ,and beyond anything we could ever have envisaged or hoped for .

I’ve just watched the full video of Sunday’s game and noticed something that I didn’t at the game.
If you look closely at the ground floor of the South End boxes immediately behind the goal posts, there seems to be a structure attached to the front of the stand, Has anyone else noticed this or know what it is?
