    C'mon. You know the drill now. It'll be the cheapest available screen, don't expect any improvement at all and it may just exceed your lowly expectations.

    If it helps the new big screen was the best one currently being manufactured by one of if not the the largest UK LED screen provider. It's also brand new.

    'Due to FL rules the video feed will switch over to another image for contentious decisions that we aren't allowed to broadcast'

    So all it'll do is show the goals and that's all?

    That's all to do with replays - it will have the live game feed but we aren't allowed to show any replays for offsides, freekick/penalty decisions, away team goals etc.

    Not sure I understand this

    Why would you have a live match feed? Who's going to watch that rather than the actual game?

    How can you cut away from contentious decisions on a live feed if you can't see into the future and know they're about to happen? and how does cutting away from a live feed help anyway when everyone is there watching it happen on the pitch?

    It's contentious replays we aren't allowed to replay

    strange thing to be spending money on in a loss making business when improvement in so many revenue raising areas is so glaringly required. I don't go to football matches to watch the telly.

    It's all about improving the match-day experience for fans and the current big screen is so broken that it cannot be switched off (costing us a fortune) and there's only two of our current screens left in the world and an Australian sports team purchased all the replacement parts making ours un-fixable.

    This is outrageous. Duchatelet out.

    Using the new screen to distract from lack of investment in players since the season ended.
    @MrLargo surely that shoiuld be a LOL not a LIKE :wink:

    Thanks for the info Steve. Good to read Club staff explaining the background to the decisions being made.

    Not a fan of live feed / instant replays. Think it negatively impacts on the atmosphere at games I've been to with it, so for me it is likely to worsen my match day experience not improve it.

    To cut costs perhaps the two opposing managers could just play the game on FIFA and feed it through to the big screen. Money saved on players could easily reduce the annual loss.

    I think it'll help the post match comments on here, so when someone misses a sitter next season we can at least all see the replay and agree that he is shite as opposed to some deluded people vehemently declaring that it took a bobble etc.

    Easy solution... Don't look at the screen and your match day experience will not be ruined

    I am still laughing the new bigger screen TV's that were trumpeted a year or so ago. Yes they were bigger but the club swamped the bottom and side of the screen with naff local adverts which actually made the viewing screen smaller than previously!!

    I always find it remarkable how unreliable the big screens always seem to be. Sometimes you'll be looking at it and random squares will appear over crucial information, or part of the screen will not illuminate.

    I really don't get why that is. As a human race, we've pretty much perfected digital displays and they're very reliable. Offices around the UK use 15 year old monitors that still work as good as the day they were made.

    Whenever you think that something couldn't be crap... come to Charlton.

    The reason the club didn't show a live feed of the action on the original screen was because of (third-party) concerns about it being too much in the eyeline of the players, i.e the refs wouldn't permit it, compared say to the screen at a high level like Spurs.

    I don't know how valid that argument was, but it wasn't the lack of a live feed that prevented it. We had one to the press gantry.

    Interesting if things have changed, as of course they may have.

    It's very slightly bigger but not by too much. To make it wider/taller than the current frame would have virtually been double the budget sadly

    Steve, am i right in saying from what you said above that the league will not allow opposition goals to be shown?

    I assume therefore that it's going to be in the same position so will not be any easier to see from most of the East.

    Ours were shown at Brighton weren't they? I'm sure I remember seeing both of them on the screen above the home end - opposite the away stand.

    So if I may add my two pence worth...

    Watching the TV ruins my match day experience.

    And as I sit in the East Stand, I can't see the TV.

    Does that about cover it?

    Exactly the same as the concourse TVs at every away ground I've been to in about the last 3 seasons...

    Next away game you go to, check it out.

    But as Charlton do it, it's some form of disgrace.

    It's the same position yes but the design of the new screen's pixels gives a clearer side on image than the current screen gives.

    I will get this checked as we were initially told we couldn't re-play away goals but there's a long summer where all details will be finalised and released

    Let's hope there are plenty of home goals to show.

    In today's programme in case you wondered.

    Can you tell us a bit more please Henry. I didn't manage to get a programme today due to a queue being 100 yards long.
    But if you reduced the programme price by a pound, and more people wanted one, the queues would be even longer?
