I still hanker after the days when half time scores were put up to A,B,C etc. markers on the perimeter
Most of the time they were either late or never put up...those were the day's eh.. Jumpers for goalposts, Rush goalie, Mmmm, Home in time for tea beans on toast eh, those were the days Mmm...
How much does it cost to display messages throughout the game? Are there some messages, that don’t contain swearing or indecent material, that would be banned by the club? I can think of a lot of political slogans, but leaving them to one side could you hire the message board to say, for example, ‘meat is murder’ or ‘ban abortion’ or ‘don’t ever gamble’ or ‘Matt Southall is a con man’? I wonder what the rules would be.

As per post from @oohaahmortimer page 2.. For approx £3k a season you get a minute in 6x 10 second patches per game Assume this is accurate?

They'd have to be compliant with ASA and CAP codes. In a nutshell, "legal, decent, honest and truthful". I don't know the difference between "honest" and "truthful". Together with any other rules set out by the FA/EFL/FIFA/UEFA. So, as you well know, political statements would not be allowed as they are banned from football. In addition "meat is murder" would be illegal because it is not true. Because, again, as you well know, murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. That's why the Americans, sensibly, call it homicide.

Would it be OK to display ‘McDonalds burgers are delicious’, because that isn’t true?

And you had to wait until the Standard or News went on sale around 6pm to get the results as you missed the 5pm news teleprinter as you got home after they had been on. And the frustration if it was an away game and it said Charlton "late kick off" so just two L's instead of a score!

You should see the looks on the kids faces when their parents/grandparents try to explain what they were.
Someone once said they have the actual ABCD boards in their garage. I asked if they'd donate them but never heard back.
