Why was the clock wrong so many times in the 2nd half.
Jumped from 50 odd minutes to 70 then back again.
I was only trying to work out when the game would finish after the delay but it kept playing funny beggars.

I got excited when it was beaming out 0-0 at HT .... thought we were starting again for the 2nd 45 mins.

The new screen must be twice the size of the old one but the font is just as small. Reading the sub list was nigh on impossible. No clock for most of the game, incorrect score (and scorer) - is it the same bloke that does the programme?

I was watching the live entertainment.

Where were you then Tim ?

What screen? Speaking from Longside Upper!

It went off for a while in the first half and only had one goal scorer when 0-2.

It also seemed to take an age for the scores to be recorded. Does someone need to go on a training course? Also what has happened to the sound system. It sounded like Norman Collier was making the announcements.

The sound system in the Bob Lord has been faulty for the last few home games. Shouldn’t be difficult to fix but it is rather indicative of Burnley’s inability to get the simple things right.

Obviously, we experienced an issue with the scoreboard and timer software in the first half, we're going to work on fixing it this week.

When you say it jumped from 50 mins to 70 mins... can you go into more detail about what you saw?

Did anyone else see this?

Didnt Darren Bentley tweet a couple of weeks back about the club sorting issues with the PA ?

Can't see through the side of the stand though. Maybe if they cleaned it up a bit eh

I just presumed the 6 wasn't working for the 60 minute so showed up like it went back to 50 minutes from 59 and then the 2nd time skipped from 59 (should of been 69) to 70.

As others have said it read 0-0 at halftime for the score and didn't show the goal symbol next to all the scorers.

Also I couldn't make out the team line up from the CF stand before the game. Font size needs increasing.

Thanks for this. The system was reset at half time so that why the score went back to 0-0 for a while. The goal symbol wasn't shown straight away because we were trying to fix the scoreboard issue at the time.

I'm interested in this '6 not working' thing though, I definitely saw the time in the 60-69 minutes but didn't notice any time skipping or anything. If anyone saw this too, please let me know.

I obviously didn't watch it all the time but my lad was shocked that it said 50 minutes (that we had only been playing 5 in the 2nd half) when it seemed around 15 would be right.

Anyway good luck with sorting it.

Claptrappers, if you have any contact with the sound people can you ask them if they are aware of the poor sound in the Bob Lord. Thanks.

Yep the sound in the Bob Lord is awful. It seemed not to be working at all for a few matches and now it just seems to be out of sync

It can look as bad as it wants, we carnt see it in the bob lord..

You at the back corner or something? I’d have thought that it was fairly visible from most of the stand.

I'ts perfectly clear from the Bob Lord.

Clearly the wrong time and wrong score though.

Did you see it was it wrong in the 2nd half?

Not from row p upwards it's not

I'd rather have a roof than a view of the screen though, especially in this weather

It went off completely at some point in the second half, but for how long and
at what time I don't know because I had nodded off.

Seriously, it did go blank at some stage.

Row z towards the longside end

It did go completely off at one point. I was hoping they were just turning over to Im a Celeb. The only thing I can offer about the time is I felt like I'd lost two hours of my life I will never get back.

I can see about an inch of light!

Quite a lot of complaints about flashing light adverts on twitter as well.
