The 'not so big' screen

[Deleted]

I for one was rather disappointed, its a sortova 15 inch telly sized 'big screen'

Ive been wating for this since the graphics for the new Brittiannia stadium ten years ago showed one in the original plans and graphics included one with a really 'big screen'.

Id send the one they've just erected back and say, we want one 2 metres wider and, higher.

then it might be more in proportion with whats actually required

like the new stadium sound system, this is just not good enough

I personally wouldnt accept it on behalf of our club

surely, they can do better ?

Its as big as anything at other football grounds I've seen-looked triffic from where I was sitting.

[lust4life]

I quite liked it and cant wait to see it up and running on Boxing Day for the visit of the SHITE !!!!!

i agree bayern, its more than big enough. its the same size as arsenals ffs

[bayernoatcake]

What impressed me even though it was just the badge was the clarity of the picture. Maybe that will change with moving bits and stuff but it looked crystal clear.

Didn't we just have one!?

[GazMcNicol]

Looks alright from the Boothen.

Its not the size thats the problem, it just looks a bit lost in that corner with no background.
If and when the corner gets blocked in properly (windbreaks etc...) it will look great.

[twisty]

Are you still talking about the screen?

[stokelad84]

I overheard somebody saying:

"I thought it would be big enough to fill that whole gap!"

I almost choked on my pie!!

[Deleted]

yup the screen - I honestly think its too small

my telly in my lounge is bigger !

[stokecityscott]

stop moaning you tart

[Deleted]

bloody hell uk

Where I'm seated in the boothen it looked ok

there is a big gap there and its a bit deceiving but it looks to me a bloody good screen

[viiistokieviii]

Tbh i thought it would be bigger and i was dissapointed with the pictures posted on here a few days ago, but sitting in the ground i like it, i was expecting bigger but now i think its impressive, miles better than the 1970's shit we had a few games ago, cant wait to see it up and running

Anyone know of any plans to put advertising etc. around it to make it look bigger?

[stonestokie!]

ukyestony, stop being so fu**ing mardy.
if you're that bothered pay for on yourself for stoke.
it looks fine from where i sit, you're the only one who doesn't like it so it seems.

[Deleted]

Well i'm about as far away from it as you can get & it looked plenty big enough to me. I personally hope the thing is switched off when the games on as its right in my eyeline.

[twinedwitherlangen]

Looks fine for me, blimey, stop the moaning

[alan12661]

Fer crying out loud!! Give em a chance they havn't finished the pine cabinet for it yet!!

[premierpotters08]

its bloody good atleast we have one now and its far better than that score board we had before also they have put cameras and new lighting at the top of the stadium to screen the match on i belive did anyone else notice that?

[Deleted]

I still think its too small

ten years I bloody well waited too

(and some of you have taken this hook line and sinker )

its too small though --fin

[Southstander]

How big do you want it?!

You can see it from wherever you sit, can't you?

(Except back of South and Family Stands).

Why would we want it any bigger? What's the point?

[trebor63]

When the pics were put on here last week it looked smaller than it does in real life and when the thing was turned on (albeit just with the club crest) But I was sat in the Boothen and it was crystal clear and is as large as any screen I've seen at pretty much any other ground.

PS if you're telly is as big as that then you must live in the NEC!

[stokesaint1]

By the time it's surrounded with the advertising hoardings that will no doubt soon follow, it'll be big enough. I think the picture quality is superb and from the West Stand it is excellent. Not sure how long it'll take to stop it being a distraction (if it's showing the game live) as are the moving hoardings at the side of the pitch.

Jesus the manic depressives are in full force this weekend aren't they!

I can't think of any team in the Premier League that has a bigger screen than us other than Arsenal, that's right, Premier League, not the NFL!

[Block 26]

It just looks small because of the fucking HUGE gap that it's in.

[rambo61]

Thought it looked sound but wished we could have got the match time on it.... must have looked for how long left about 100 times!!!! ;D ;D
