Great news, a real step forward.

Not sure about the placement though - looks a bit ropey just plonked in front of the seats on the old Family Stand, wouldn't it be better in the opposite corner between Lorne Street and the Hamil? Nothing there at the moment. Or at least have the family stand decommissioned and the seats taken out. Or maybe they are as well?

I think it’s in a great position

When they take the old scoreboard down, they'll be able to see the whole of the game in the Hamil end. 

Bonus…

A simple solution to the seats is to get another cover, similar to the Staffordshire Uni one that used to be there. It's a chance to get some advertising revenue in as there will be a lot of eyes trained to that corner so whoever sponsors it will get a lot of exposure. 

That's a good shout Rob, I'd hope that the real thing looks better than the rough mocked up image. Looking forward to seeing a replay of Harrison smashing one past the Stoke keep in the League Cup first round on there 😉

It's got to be on that side so the people in the boxes can see it!

I wonder if there's any chance of some of those old, retro graphics being used on the new screen?
I know there's going to be snazzy replays and the like but surely there's also space for the odd, retro moment too,,,
I remember the "corner" graphic and I'm pretty sure there was a tank graphic during Vale attacks...

I programmed all those graphics on the original scoreboard in the late 80s. Very happy times.

Can you recall exactly what graphics there were?  My memory is rubbish.  Tank, ambulance, dancing “potatoes”… not sure if that last one is just an invented memory. 🙄

I don’t think those on the old scoreboard were dangling…….well not while it was working properly they weren’t.  🙄

On the original scoreboard we had -

Attack (Tank) animation
Saved animation
Corner graphic
Penalty graphic
Goal animation
Uttoxeter Race Course advert
Tile Mine advert
Port Vale graphic
Britannia Building Society advert
Creda avert
ABC Minolta advert
Browns advert

I can remember getting my knuckles rapped on many occasions for flashing up the Stoke score when they were losing!

No ambulance?……or dancing potatoes?
