Argyle Info' Board (Merged many many times).

Is it just Argyle fans who are anti technology--or all football fans? Surely a screen in the ground would be a positive? I am perplexed

Some don't like change. Only have to see some of the narrowminded views about anything modern to see.

There’s a happy medium somewhere.

Gypsy Acora?

My mate punched him once.

He always wanted to strike a happy medium.

Bet he never saw it coming. :twisted:

as part of the promotion to get Argyle listed as a world cup ground under Keith Todd.a giant screen held up by a crane,was briefly positioned in the corner between the barn park end and the mayflower stand. That was what you would call a big screen. Looked pretty impressive at the time.

Still no screen,I thought this was being erected end of February

Used to be Doris Stokes. :twisted:

I knew you’d say that.

The screen in Rotherham was a massive waste, full of tacky adverts and graphics. I'd much rather not have it and spend the money somewhere more sensible (training facilities, players, fan facilities).

Replays ruin the celebrations when the players are in front of the fans who are all staring at the board.

I don't think a scoreboard adds anything to the club, the outside board is a nice touch and may help draw in some passer-bys.

Goal music RUINS the celebrations!

The big screen will be in place 'imminently'. :tumbleweed:

Can anyone explain a piece of screen technology which really has me baffled. I watch West Ham at the London stadium several times a year when a family member gives me his ST. Behind each goal is an absolute monster screen which appears, at first, to hide the view of about a 1000 supporters or more from the ground up.

On my first visit I expected the screen to sink into the floor before the game commenced, but no it stays there because the spectators could see right through it, clearly without impediment.

How does it work? I’ve asked people about me there how it works, but everyone’s equally puzzled.

 

[Biggs]

There are just seats above and below it Mervyn, no? I can't see any impediment.

(Technically this is on topic as the thread merely says Big Screen )

I promise you there are people sitting directly behind the screen, honest.

Where? The stadium walls are built to accommodate the screen. Its clear that the top of the bottom tier is in line with bottom of the screen and then the seating for the upper tier is angled up to go above the screen.

The seating plan also shows it.

 

[Shankster]

I went to the London Stadium earlier this season Nov 4 v LFC, the concourse is behind the screen. No seating that I remember at all.

Enjoyed it actually, well organised outside and in. Very little queuing at bars etc

Tell you what Daz and Biggs, I now think you’re both right, and I ( and the people around me at the ground) have suffered an optical illusion. It definitely appears from the side that people are sitting directly behind the screen. Well done.

:thumbup: There are screens/technology that you can see through, but I wouldn't have thought you can get them that big.
