Big Screen

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

The tank! Very memorable for me as a kid

which will modernise the 15-000 seater stadium 

Might want to do a bit more research though!

Just read that myself. I notice Southampton are having the exact same as us installed for the new season. And looking at it I think ours will be the same as what Watford currently have.

I suspect it'll be run in house from the police control box but still, I wonder how much the production service actually costs per season.

As part of the deal, full content management and production training will be provided by ADI upon installation, ensuring a seamless handover to Vale’s media team who will be creating assets and operating the LED on matchdays.

Ours will be 8m2 smaller than Watford's but the same design and aspect ratio.

The screens are made up of individual panels bolted together, so in the event of a stray shot (or object from some muppet in the new away end) the whole screen wouldn't be knackered. Hard to tell from the video but they look like they could be 1x1m sized.

Good luck to the civil engineer entrusted with hanging several tons of expensive kit off the family stand roof! It must be 80 years old if not older. Maybe they'll take a few rows of seats out and the framework the screen bolts onto will sit on some kind of platform.

edit - just checked and it could be 107 years old. WW1 and the easter rising in Dublin was going on while that roof stood at the old Rec. I don't think I'd want to hang a christmas tree bauble from it after that long.

On that Watford video they used support truss to hold the weight as the roof was able to do so. I would imagine they could do the same in the corner if the roof metalwork can't hold it.

I reckon they will just sink some pillars into the back of the old family terrace in front of the blue seats and it will stand rather than being held up.

Wonder if for the smaller allocation away games and games such as Derby we'd do an Exeter and show it on the screen? 

Guess the issue would be where would people sit 🤔.

Sit in the away end (Bycars) or Lorne St with refreshments.

I think we had to get special permission to do the Exeter game as a one off but when the broadcasting deal goes out to tender again there is potential that could happen with certain conditions. The bigger EFL clubs have been unhappy with the way money is distributed from IFollow, this could be a way of satisfying them. 

Lots of potential to increase revenue streams.

The roof has been replaced since the 50s but the supports are the same. I should imagine it’s got a giant screen protector. Imagine getting the bubbles out of that

They did say on the release on the official site that "all images are concepts. All are subject to change." so I would imagine it's perfectly possible it will actually be on pillars rather than suspended.

Isn't there some sort of frame built into the concrete here on this image? With what appears to be steps up to the back of the screen (presumably for maintenance).
