Fair play.. I absolutely despise those though.. I must be the only person who finds them distracting if you are unfortunate enough to experience vertigo and the myriad of problems it can present, these revolving ads could prevent attending games. Will the Club provide sick bags? Similar effect to a circular cinema.

One of the panels has broke already 🙄 Running electric adverts, numerous pasty huts, several bars, a few TV's and pa system off of one double plug socket and a few thousand Argos extension cables was always gonna be risky....

When I walked on the blackthrone earlier I got a semi when I saw them...
Are they in front of the blackthrone also or do they stop at the butcher truck tent corner as I cant see.I will be fully turned on if so!

Blackthorn speakers have been mended too! Like a Dam rave here at the start of the second half!

Extra revenue for the club, fair play to TG. If anyone is capable of polishing a turd, TG seems to be making a case that he could.
Still need much bigger things to be able to have a long term future at this level, but any progress no matter how small should be welcomed.

Please put them around the whole of the pitch and not just around the corners opposite the west stand.
The fact they’re not in the other corners hints at this either being a trial or linked to our TV appearance on Tuesday

The fact they’re not in the other corners hints at this either being a trial or linked to our TV appearance on Tuesday They’re being trialled until the end of the season when a decision will be made on them according to Tom Gorringe. They are fairly expensive to run so I’m not surprised they are only located on the one side facing the cameras. I honestly forgot they were there after a while, I’m sure they won’t be distracting once people get used to them.

I think you're right about the cameras facing the adds, also worth consideration is that the front of the west terrace is 'sunk' below pitch level (I'd guess by about 2 foot) and by comparison to any other ground I've ever visited is a completely unconventional set-up to actually install the stuff....

They look a solid piece of kit and can imagine that they’d bring in much better income that the boring static ones. I’d like to see them kept personally. Once the game started I completely forgot they were even there. Maybe even a lucky charm?

Maybe even a lucky charm? plus we should target Bristol energy because they can do a clever advert saying powered by Bristol energy and maybe they could cover the additional electric costs as their fee for the sponsorship! 🤔

I don't like them on TV but to be fair completely forgot they were there today. Glad I haven't paid for one of the static advertising boards hidden by the revolving ones though!

Was watching on iFollow and was thinking if I owned one of those businesses, I’d be straight on the phone to TG demanding some of my money back tbf

Anyone who paid for the static advertising boards are also going to be advertised on this. Like these, never thought I'd see them at the mem tbh!

I know this is tongue in cheek, but who watching a match at the Mem notices any of the ads anyway? Static or revolving?

The ads work because I still remember the "Make Coal Your Goal" ad on the South Stand at Eastville. Often order a bag of anthracite for old times sake.

Will be either. '>>>>>' or '<<<<<' Dependant on which side of pitch and which way we're kicking. Subliminal shoot this way arrows What about just 'In the net!' or 'attack, attack, attack, attack, attack!' repeated as nauseum, like at Twerton. 🤔👍
