) but with the likely frequent reference to VAR I think it is imperative that all spectators are equally informed!claretblue wrote:I (along with many thousand Claret fans) haven't seen a screen since it was in Cricketfield stand!
really think this could be sorted by now - but eh!
I understand they have the screen but can't decide where to put it.
Its not the most pressing thing at Turf Moor (actually - having no peas with a pie is!
I along many others in the Cricket field stand have a great view of the big screen!

Nah pie n chips sounds better.....tim_noone wrote:Pie n peas will never catch on....sounds a good idea though.

With VAR now you need big screens to even have a slim chance of working out what is going on.ClaretTony wrote:They've got it right - no need for them
Hardly, it doesn't tell you anything.thelaughingclaret wrote:With VAR now you need big screens to even have a slim chance of working out what is going on.
For the first time that I've noticed they did the VAR replay of the incident on Saturday after we'd been awarded the penalty.ClaretTony wrote:Hardly, it doesn't tell you anything.
I’ve only seen that once before and that was in the last home game when they showed the VAR pic for the disallowed goal.aggi wrote:For the first time that I've noticed they did the VAR replay of the incident on Saturday after we'd been awarded the penalty.
It can take the weight certainly - actually, big screens don't actually weigh as much as they used to.Claretforever wrote:What was wrong with where they were going to put it, on the corner? Poor design and can’t take the weight?

Those at the back of the Bob Lord wouldn't be able to see either screen, even when they haven't nodded off!Claretforever wrote:What was wrong with where they were going to put it, on the corner? Poor design and can’t take the weight?
Those at the back of the Bob Lord can only see the pitch can’t they. Any screen that they could see and wouldn’t block their view would have to be tiny.Fretters wrote:Those at the back of the Bob Lord wouldn't be able to see either screen, even when they haven't nodded off!
I'm not sure to be honest, I thought they might be able to see one between the Longside and CF stand.martin_p wrote:Those at the back of the Bob Lord can only see the pitch can’t they. Any screen that they could see and wouldn’t block their view would have to be tiny.
They're having individual screens in the back of the seats in front like on an aircraft..martin_p wrote:Those at the back of the Bob Lord can only see the pitch can’t they. Any screen that they could see and wouldn’t block their view would have to be tiny.
Even better, get Baddiel and Skinner to do it like they used to on the telly.Claret wrote:I'm all for tradition. Do away with the screen, bring back the touchline boards marked A, B, C, etc so we can put half time scores up and have the substitutes trained up to re-enact any VAR replays in front of the Bob Lord stand.
Sorted.
I don't know much more than you guys to be fair - in terms of definite plans anyway. It's changing all the time. I know it wasn't going to go on top of the new disabled section with the new police box - it'll look make the ground look cocked-eyed anyway, as that section is shorter than the other side. But even if they decided to put it up there, getting the steelwork and lifting it up would be a logistical nightmare now.ZizkovClaret wrote: Thoughts from Claptrappers especially appreciated as he has something of an inside track. Im genuinely puzzled how its so slow of a process.
But like I say, it's not going up there anyway. The best place would be on the roof of the second new development. More people would get the benefit although wherever they are situated some will struggle to see.newminted wrote:The best place to me in terms of %age of viewers would be front of the CFS roof - a la the original White Hart Lane. If only we had a few grand to achieve it.
Those at White Hart Lane were much higher than our cricket field stand. Screens behind a goal can be a horrible distraction as at Palace & West Ham.newminted wrote:The best place to me in terms of %age of viewers would be front of the CFS roof - a la the original White Hart Lane.

I've not been to West Ham but i"ve seen it on TV, and the size of it is insane. Also, there is a delay on the live feed by just a couple of seconds, that'll drive me mad.ClaretTony wrote:Those at White Hart Lane were much higher than our cricket field stand.

They are so low too. If you are stood right behind the goal at the other end it can be really distracting.claptrappers_union wrote:I've not been to West Ham but i"ve seen it on TV, and the size of it is insane.
