    I thought it was fine, a definite improvement on the old one. I am sure the replay thing will be improved, I hardly look at them myself, as I can see them ad-infinitum on my PC when I get home.

    I think it looked good. The only gripes I had was that video got cropped to fit the screen rather than pillarboxed. Anything that's shot in 4:3 (ie older than about 2005-6) loses 75% of the picture, for instance. The players' names were easier to read and the scoreboard seemed brighter.
    Fair point on the ratio for old videos but as others, not you, have failed or just don't want to grasp that is a fault in how it is being used, not in the screen itself.

    The tweak in layout after the women's game shows they are still learning.

    Because it is a new screen being added to an old build its size, in particular its height, is restricted by the stands and the steps. It couldn't be the size seen it new purpose built stadiums.

    The old screen was a third of the size plus it was very old and being patched together, figuratively, with duct tape.

    What we have is better even if it is not perfect.

    Some cowboys called adi.tv did that on the cheap


    It's also not much bigger than the screen we had at The Valley before

    Was gonna say it looks like our old one with the extra screen underneath

    Kept looking around the ground. It looks so good with all of the new displays.

    First time I've seen the new big screen. Very impressed. I was sceptical when I saw the mock up but think they've done a grand job.

    Rather less impressed with the electric hoardings though. Too bright and distracting. It reminded me of neon nights at ten pin bowling; something to woo the little kids raised on e-numbers and constant screen time, but not for people who want to concentrate on the sport.

    Missed the last game. 
    Have to say from the west upper the new screen looks brilliant! Cannot complain. And teamsheets being read on the sponsor boards was nice.  Even read ‘come on you reds’ on the sponsor boards as we sung it. 

    My only complaint is the fish doesnt appear on the pitch side sponsor boards. Imagine the scenes. Imagine.

    Not a fan of the electronic hoardings, very distracting. 
  • Sat Upper West since forever. Those new LED screens block bits of the pitch and sidelines for people sitting in the front rows. They come away from the wall a good five or six inches, so at the angle you're seated, you're losing part of the experience. And I'm not sure what we’ve gained.

    I don’t think they thought about this impact.

    The new screen itself is fine and a needed addition.
     
    The new floodlights, though, seem like they need to be pointing down more. Three or four are directed straight towards the West Stand. I had spots in my eyes for a while after, as they left an afterimage.
  • I thought the boards looked great when the players came out, everything Red and the the players names all round the ground when they were read out, not seen that anywhere before, and the stair entrances in the west stand looked very good.

     Agreed on the floodlights. They need to be adjusted, was distracting at times and considering sunglasses. Hope this is raised

    Nice to see a full set of floodlights in working order at the Valley

    About time we got the basics right

    Thought the ground looked great today with all the new LED boards put in, floodlights in full effect fully working and big screen looking good. All looking good, modern and energised well done the club.

    I know we didn’t play well but please tell me you weren’t watching the advertising hoardings instead 🤣

    I was in upper West and when the ball was out near the far touchlines, the players sort of blended into the electronic boards "haze" and it was difficult to make out what was happening.

    I thought the ground looked fantastic today . Lights , screen and hoardings . Especially the hoardings .

    I don’t think it’s aimed at joyless people like you Golfie. Just shut your eyes if it offends you that much . At least the kids will enjoy it.

    Won't be for everyone, but I like the new advertising electric boardings, especially below the entrances, think they look really smart

    Yep, agree 100%. The ground looks fresh and modern. They’ve done a great job with it. Yes, some of it was a bit bright but if we are trying to attract a younger generation of fan then I thought at times I was sitting in a computer game setting. Well done
