Brand new scoreboard screen for the Ricoh (5 Viewers)

[Otis]

One of the biggest in the country apparently, but looks like most City fans won't see it. Looks like it is going on the east stand.

As most of our fans are there anyway and the old CT stand isn't open and behind the other goal are the aways fans, so it looks like we will miss out.

Isn't the mockup they have done behind the away fans?

 

[pusbccfc]

Also, won't be available till September. I bet Coventry City didn't even know.

Being in the away end, it will be interesting to watch 5000 pissed up Sunderland fans launch their pints at it.

That's where it will be.

Ah, right. Looked like the picture like it was a pic of the East Stand. My mistake then.

The CT seem to think we will be using it too.

Hopefully we will be able to pay a small sum to put personal ads and messages on it. I would think ' Fook off Wasps' might prove to be the most popular request.

If you were the groundsman there on a quiet Friday afternoon you'd have to be tempted to plug your laptop into it, stream some porn and knock one out in the centre circle. It might break the curse of the Leicester shirt buried there.

We getting rid of the one in the corner then?

Gimmickery is the Wasps way, who really cares about a scoreboard?

 

[hill83]

Already had an ex Coventry City supporter sharing the link with "Compliments of Wasps, seats next!"

Ha ha. Loves a big day out at Wembley though.

He probably needs it to explain to him whats going on and when to clap and cheer.

I've heard that during CCFC games the scoreboard will be turned on, so they can advertise tickets for Wasps matches and when the opposition score they will play Chelsea Dagger and the board will flash 'SISU In' until we equalise...

 

[CCFC88]

Maybe we could play the whole 90 mins of the CCFC v Bristol City 76/77 on Sep 29th and then just hand the keys back to Wasps at 5:30.

Mini scoreboard and clock being installed in the west stand too, right behind Fishers head hopefully.

So they can afford to by a whopping great big TV screen yet their players are still training in basic portacabin facilities.

Are they going to show films on it when Wasps are playing

 

[HerneBayGaz]

There showing re-runs of the old TV series’s ‘Fantasy Island’ Or Sunderland getting promoted back to championship as we like to call it...

They are a bunch of show offs.

We all have friends like it. Wear designer gear and have all the nice things but can't actually afford what they are buying.

Fur coat and no knickers?

You've just offended 90% of football fans - show some respect for all of the loyal SIB fans that blow a weeks wages on a new jacket to make the wanker sign at some Scunthorpe fans.

 

[chiefdave]

Can't even get the CT site to load to check the article but it was supposed to be a new scoreboard at each end so if the CT says one they might have got the details wrong.

Why are they going to do put the football on the screen while the rugger buggers are there to keep them entertained or maybe love island

 

[Nick]

How will people know when to go to the bar or the toilet in our first few games with no screen?

 

[matesx]

Does look open to missile vandalism from disgruntled mackems

 

[sw88]

VAR will look impressive

 

[pusbccfc]

Let's hope they sort the tannoy...

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The good news is when they finally clear off there will be lots of new things left behind.

Just had a look at the excitement on their Facebook page what a bunch of Freeks

Wait for kick off then order a last pint. Hoof that back and then barge past all those seated at 100mph. Chat, ignore the game, then get up and go to the loo. Return to seat nearly falling over and tell anyone that can hear them that the whole team is

playing shit. Run downstairs and have 2 more beers. Wait for 2nd half to kick off and order final pint. Rush to seats, swear a lot, tell anyone that says calm down a bit that if their kids don't like it they should be in the family section. Boo the team, call Robins useless, tell the opposition fans that they're all w*nkers using verbals and hand gestures in between each loo visit. Leave before the end to beat the rush and get to the pub, miss our late equalizer.​
