Quite the opposite. they've built exactly the right kind of place - for its primary (match day) purpose. They are just trying too hard to think of non-match day uses, and coming up with a procession of unsuitable ideas.

Indeed - I should have been clearer and written 'the last one that I WENT TO...' This was a big set up with screens set up on the Amex pitch, rather than a 1901 lounge thing, mind.

The beam back is an excellent deal. Fair play. If I lived locally I'd definitely be on board. Hopefully it would be more fun than the last beam back for the game at Villa to clinch the Championship title. The team f***ed up, and we were surrounded by drunk / coked up wankers.

Given that the main architectural feature is the massive wraparound screens, I don't think you can really pass judgement on how it looks / feels before they've been switched on.

I find READING stuff, helps avoid making assumptions, and getting unnecessarily wound up, sometimes.

Mitoma might be able to recruit some suitable personnel on his next trip home?

The Seven Stars

There is another big screen going in as part of that development, too.

Whether temporary or otherwise - none of that material will be visible, once complete. It covers exactly the area of the video screens, as detailed in the planning application.

Not sure why they couldn't have gone to the trouble of sourcing a blue material - but all the red areas are just protective temporary sheets. All of those areas currently red, are the space that will be filled with the video displays.

These particular ones, judging by the spec sheet on the planning application, are not as economical as they could be. But they certainly won’t generate any noticeable heat from 3m above ground, in an outdoor environment.

Here's the business case: £1.0m spend. If 20,000 people see the screens, on 20 matchdays per season, for the (nominal 10 year) life of the screens, that works out as 25p per advertising pitch / marketing opportunity... Summary: everything is costed, and we don't have to sell Baleba. (yet)

I didn't realise you'd actually looked up the specific model. Right, so you're looking at 16 x the display area of the one priced at $63,285.00 in the ad you found. So $1,012,560.00, which is £797,000.00 at today's USD rate. Unless they have got a great deal, will almost certainly top £1m once...

Haha. There are '4 of them', but not at your £50k... That ad is for a screen roughly 5m x 3m The four FanZone screens, in total are around 78m x 3m. I sell these things as part of the equipment my company installs. We actually use the same manufacturer as the two screens inside the Amex. the...

The CLUB charged people to get into Boxpark?

Looks brilliant and will be a very significant bonus to some peoples’ matchday experience. I have only two little doubts… 1. Will it cause a really problematic bottleneck in the crowd flow around the ground pre / post match? 2. Nobody has raised this, so I presume you are all expecting access...
