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.
