You seem well informed Wertongas, can you tell us how much the screen has cost the Club? presumably, the Club has had to pay up front and the advertising money will come in over time. Has it cost £50,000 as has been rumoured? Surely it is a good addition to the matchday experience? and I suppose it is a matter of opinion if the money could have been better spent? When they announced we would be getting the screen, they said that sponsor's were paying for it. Think it was Brunel but not 100%. That would account for all the new Hoardings around the site of the new Mega Screen then !

It’s been that long coming, I think it’s been sponsored by Isambard Kingdom Brunel!

So with just 5 days to go now I assume the screen must be being erected today or tomorrow at the latest, if it's going to be in place and working by Saturday?

Gorringe tweeted that they are starting to put it up on Tuesday and if all goes well, it should be ready by Saturday. So hopefully it will be working in time for the last game lol

As much as I am looking forward to the new tv, could someone confirm that a large mirror is going to be erected over the thatcher’s end and facing towards the tv screen so my fellow south standers and I can see what’s going on please.

Speaker system has been updated (apparently). Workmen were doing some clearing at that end last Thursday so all systems go for 3 games

The sponsor, who has indeed paid for it (so NO cost to the club) also sits in the South Stand so won't be able to see it either

I had no problem seeing the screen at Walsall earlier this season and that was situated in the right hand corner of the stand.

Hopefully then it will be visible to all (I guess it depends how far back into the corner it goes). I’ll look forward to see it on Saturday.

Just seems like a big load of wasted time and money to me. All you need in a ground like the Mem is a scoreboard that works all the time. The money probably could have been spent on getting better players rather than bringing in players that aren’t good enough for this level that nobody else wanted and ending up with a massive squad of below average players. Maybe they’ll use it in the summer for the England matches or something, I hope it’ll pay for itself and make us a profit otherwise I can’t see the point. Glad I'm not the only one who has no idea why we need or even want a TV screen. I'd argue there's no need for a scoreboard either...it's not exactly difficult to remember the score during the game is it? Except one stage during the Donny game perhaps.

If it's a boring nil-nil they can put Babestation on?
