Looks like the second of the corner stands isn’t too far away from being ready. According to the link above it won’t be open Saturday but the club are looking to hold a necessary ’test event’ at one of the following two home Premier League games.

'...The club has a second screen yet to be installed, once a suitable location is agreed...'
surely its very obvious where the 2nd screen should be located!
I haven't been able to view the original screen since it was relocated out of the Cricket Field Stand!

We commented on the re-inforcing and hand rails on the top of the South East Stand matching the Hand rails on the North East Stand (where the Big screen is located) pointing to that being the location of 2nd screen.... the ones with difficulty seeing will be the ones in the JMU
Re: New Corner Stands
Regardless of where they put the second screen, there’ll be fans in the BL who won’t see either, because of the low roof.
I wonder if this will prompt the club to renovate the BL, or at least put a new roof on that slopes up a little instead of down.

It’s not just a screen though, is it? It’s now part of the game with VAR coming in.Quickenthetempo wrote:You think the club will put a new roof on so a few fans can see a screen?
You can’t have a few hundred fans in the upper reaches of the BL who can’t see the VAR decisions. I don’t care about a screen either, but I wouldn’t sit there if I couldn’t see the VAR decisions.
Edit- and there may be some sort of Premier League stipulation that all fans in the ground have to see the VAR screens.

Re: New Corner Stands
Why not do a full survey of each seat in the ground and, after doing so, put small monitors on the back of the seats in front of those who can’t see the Big Screen.
Now that problem is sorted; into the intractable Middle East and its panoply of difficulties.

You're thinking too small here. What we really need are hover chairs for every spectator so we can zip around to wherever the best angle is to view the big screen, the goalmouth action, well-endowed female streakers etc etc.

Re: New Corner Stands
There seems only two options, in the corner above the tunnel, and on top of the other disabled stand.
Considering we wouldn’t be helping the view of anybody by putting it above the tunnel (due to where the first one has been put), the only logical place is on top of the other disabled stand I would have thought.

Re: New Corner Stands
the real solution to displaying the VAR decisions is to live stream to a local web broadcast and provide decent WiFi for everyone to connect to with their smartphones - guest logon, with a free broadcast - easy to do with some fairly cheap WiFi kit. You shouldn't have to provide an internet connection either, just local WiFi.

Re: New Corner Stands
Attended the game on Saturday as my dad's assistant. The new facilities are excellent. A few little teething issues which I am sure will be ironed out i am sure.
Seeing the conditions yesterday and being sat in releative comfort warm and dry couldn't have come soon enough.
One thing that made me smile was the additional row of 'family and friend' seats on the first tier so groups can still enjoy the game together

Re: New Corner Stands
I would have thought it a relatively simple engineering design job to create a structure that would allow the corner between the BL and CF stands to site the screen. Whatever constraints at ground level could be easily managed by competent engineering.

Re: New Corner Stands
Aside from the other disabled stand and opposite corner, the only other place I think that could hold a screen would be slap bang in the middle of the Bob Lord roof.
That way all of the Longside could see it and Jimmy Mc stand, BUT would ruin the classic view of chimney pots etc on the landscape.
As someone else mentioned, I also noticed the handrails on the top of the unfinished disabled stand so I think it’ll end up on there anyway.
My biggest problem with the stands (and I know this might seem petty) is that they aren’t ‘Burnleyfide’ enough. Just wish they’d paint the white breeze blocks claret or something! Hell, I’ll even paint it myself if they’ll let me. It would just make them blend in with the surrounding stands so much better.

Re: New Corner Stands
