Big Screen

I think they were in the photo already, they were the steps down from the family stand to the old family terrace.

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.

It's already been decided hasn't it? At least 248 league one games broadcast from next season onwards, as well as all the cup games bar the FA Cup.

Have they found any more Burnley fans on the roof? Probably just skeletons after 46 years !! 🙈

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.

They would have needed to carry out a full structural test before installation.

Hope we have a good insurance policy to cover big screen breakages, just in case he does move to Orient...

The only time McKirdy could be assessed as successful is his one and a bit seasons at Swindon. He's been on the field 23 times for Hibernian and his high score and low score as their striker is nil. Generally he is a L2 striker and not good enough for L1 or the SPL.

Off facebook.

Could do with fitting a tall transparent acrylic screen where that black fence is to stop away fans from damaging the screen.

I'm not overly concerned about that. 95% of games the rows closest to each end will likely be netted off anyway. I'd only worry if we got Stoke at home in the cup, and a bathroom advert came on the screen

Just hope my eyes don't keep getting drawn to it during the game, instead of me actually watching the game.

If there's a screen, I'm watching it.

Apologies if I missed it, but when will it be ready?. I'm struggling read it in the Caernarvon sunshine - and, yes,i am wearing a Vale top 

Sunshine? What's that

The screen is going to look fantastic in that corner and much  bigger than I thought it was going to be.

Looks like they've moved all the flags in Lorne Street?

Credit where it’s due to all who’ve worked on it over the summer but the pitch is looking really good. Hopefully it stays in decent condition come January.
