Replace the big screen with scantily clad Lasses at half time with the half time scores!

We will need all those little boards around the touchline with letters from A to N so that they can display the half-time scores.
I'm sure someone still has them from when we left the Vic.

The TV screen we've got will be taken down and two new ones put up. Meanwhile, there won't be a screen for a few matches but, and I quote one Richard Smith, Managing Director of Stoke City Property, as saying: "I would hope supporters would see the bigger picture. I Know!. I thought that too. Plonker - pmsl

I may be old fashioned but I thought you go to a football match to watch football,not a screen that cannot show decisions,gives you a replay of the ball going in,and a load of crap out of date information.At half time when you may watch it it shows nothing of importance.Money spent on screen or money put towards a player.Most on here only watch on a small screen anyway.But at least next season they can apply for tickets in our new seats.

When they announced the improvements back in March they mentioned a media centre in addition to the larger screen in the north west corner. If they've got groundwork to do on that then fair enough, sticking a temporary structure in that part of the stadium for the sake of six matches wouldn't make much sense (not that the article mentions it one way or another). I know we tend to look at the north west corner as an empty space but they've got a lot going on there on a match day. The emergency services and first aid units are down there while most of the area is listed as a 'TV compound' to cater for broadcasters, their vehicles, equipment etc. (according to the blueprints someone posted on here a while back). On that note I can't ever see it being turned into seating but hopefully this development will make it a little more pleasing on the eye. I'm more curious about the north east corner development to be honest. "In the north east section – which connects the Boothen End to the DPD Stand – a lift will be installed to allow wheelchair users to access the top of the stand where upto 20 spaces will be set up along with a toilet facility". The artist impression below shows two new structures on the outside of the stadium (either side of Delilahs) which appear to be for lift access. If they're making 20 disabled places at the back of that stand without limiting existing seats then that's going to be quite a change in appearance, surely? (can't find any artist impressions from the inside of the stadium).

Unfortunately comments like " should we ever go down the route of installing LED floodlighting," shows how slow moving the club in in respect of ground facilities . Middlesbrough installed LED lighting in the summer as part of their ground improvements following promotion. It also indicates that the club do not have a definitive improvement plan. Most proper businesses have at least a 5 year plan; Japanese businesses have 10 year plans.

LED lights switch on quicker than regular lights and you get greater brightness. The Premier League also have some sort of requirement about floodlights being zero flicker quality. Older floodlights used to flicker during slow motion replays shot in HD, where as with non flicker it doesn't show up and improves image quality. In short it's mainly about meeting the requirements of the broadcasters
Football is way too technical these days!

However did we manage before screens were introduced at football grounds...oh yes, we watched the match on the pitch. Nice one woodin. I was amused watching the match on computer at West Ham. Every time the camera switched to Karen Brady CBE, which was frequently, she had her head fast in her iPhone; never once did she appear to be watching the match. That's because her eyesight is not good enough to see the pitch at the London Stadium. She was watching Sky sports news on Sky go to see if they had scored

But on modern cars, they're way too bright and blind me. Guessing they're LED anyway!

However did we manage before screens were introduced at football grounds...oh yes, we watched the match on the pitch. A pointless comment. I'm actually old enough to remember going to the occasional game before floodlights and I can remember when many grounds were about 2/3 open to the elements with no roof. And, of course, pillars were the order of the day at most grounds before cantilever roofs were invented. But those innovations add to, rather than detract from, the enjoyment of the game. The fact is that the game has moved on and big screens, for most fans, add something to the game. I don't look at the screen all the time - like most fans I look at the game on the pitch, that's why I go there, but a screen for replays is useful - so much so that at grounds like Old Trafford and Anfield, it annoys me that I can't see a replay of a goal seconds after it is scored. Didn't think there was screen at Anfield unless it was removed during their redevelopment
