Although the screen was delivered on time in October, due to its size a special bespoke support structure was required to attach the screen to the current steelworks at the stadium. Unfortunately, we have very little steelwork at the Mem, preferring wooden rather than metal tent poles. Thus we have purchased a TV stand in Currys which should do the job.

In a similar time frame it took those clowns to buy a tv and install it (July 2018 to April 2019) we managed to pull down an entire stand and rebuild it. (East End demolished July 2014 and South Stand Complete May 2015).

I know they say "these things take time" up in Sag Land but using their Tele as a reference it should take them about 150 years to redevelop their ground.

So they purchase a ‘big screen’ and I have no doubts whatsoever that whoever’s job it is at that poxy little outfit to oversee it being installed took delivery, unboxed his new play thing, plugged it in to make sure it was working ok, only after sending Cockman down the shop with next seasons budget (£10) to top up the electric card, after getting all excited as Babestation beamed across Chernobyl he suddenly realised he forgot to order the pissing frame to put it on ? and in true Sag fashion today’s statement sums them up perfectly with the ‘let’s blame everyone, but ourselves’

One thing they will having going for them is it’ll look great in League 2, especially as every goal we concede flashes up on the screen alongside some half naked bird waving her phone at the camera.

Who’d have thought that screws don’t work effectively on canvas..?! 

Does the new frame class as their first permanent structural improvement to their stadium in the last half century, or is it just a bit of metal on wheels, to keep in character with its surroundings..?

Maybe they were unsure what fuse to use for the plug?

Has it been correctly risk assessed in order to get a safety certificate? And that it complies with all relevant H&S guidelines incl best height for viewing, viewing angle, optimum volume levels etc?

Probably not.

More likely is they don't own a TV licence.

The new screen will provide fans with an improved matchday experience by enabling the club to show highlights from every other game in the country to take their attention away from the shit being served up on the pitch.

 

....Is what the first draft of his statement said.

I hope the screen is waterproof. They will probably have an extra bit of plastic sheeting over the top just in case.

Oh please let this be so..!

Another new mini tent to keep the big screen dry. 

If anyone would, they would..!

Massive game for them today, there could even be over 10000 people in the mem! 

30-40k locked out potentially too. Avoid Gloucester Road at all costs. This will be the biggest fixture of the year. It will probably be the first match that Soccer Saturday reports on and they will have probably brought in Dean Windass to the studio to report on it. Everyone will love them today up and down the country and praise will be heaped on their faithful and true family club following. #Gaslogic #Sixthrichestclub #Helllloooooo

30sqm sounds huge for a ground that size, does anyone know what size our screens are?

 

Not sure on the size other than 'twice the size of the indoor screen in the bar' but found the article from 16th September when they first came over: 

https://www.bristolbearsrugby.com/news/big-screens-arrive-at-ashton-gate/

Found it quite funny that ours also had to be housed in a 'bespoke structure' - took two weeks to sort and install as we got the engineers who created it over from Korea rather than asking Frank from round the corner to try and fit them for us:

Bristol Rovers are happy to announce that the club’s new pitchside big screen will be installed and operational in time for the club’s home game against Bradford City on Saturday, April 13th.

The club purchased the new 30sqm screen in July last year from Stadia Solutions, a leading international sports and entertainment agency that specialises in fully managed technology and media platforms, with the aim of having the screen installed next to the Brunel sponsored South Stand by the end of 2018.

Although the screen was delivered on time in October, due to its size a special bespoke support structure was required to attach the screen to the current steelworks at the stadium. Unfortunately, the unique nature of this structure led to various complications with Stadia Solutions’ sub-contractor, resulting in subsequent delays with installation.

This issue has now been resolved, with Stadia Solutions apologising to fans for the inconvenience caused and compensating both the club and screen sponsor for the delay.

Commercial Director, Tom Gorringe, stated, ‘As the fans are all very well aware, we have been waiting for a new big screen for quite some time now. I am happy and relieved, that a solution for the frame for the screen has finally been found and it will be installed in time for what is looking like a very exciting and crucial end to the season.’

The new screen will provide fans with an improved matchday experience by enabling the club to actively communicate, engage and share content with fans, in addition to increasing matchday revenues through sponsors and advertising.

Tom, went on to say, ‘We’d like to thank supporters for their continued patience and we look forward to seeing you all at the Mem tomorrow for our match with Sunderland!’.

 

 

Takes 6 weeks to install a frame?? Seriously

"finally been found"?? Scrap yard?

"exciting and crucial end to the season"? Possible relegation to the league above non-league - brilliant.

It'll be facing to the outside of the ground so that all the locked out hordes can watch the game.

So they're in a race against time to get their screen installed before Spurs open their new stadium.

The only 2 clubs in the country making major stadium improvements lest we forget.

Actually it strikes me they could get one over on Spurs by erecting a cheese tent, Spurs having abandoned the plan they now claim they never had.

I'm thinking out of date Dairylea triangles.

Why is it always Dairylea (when in the contract it stipulated brie)?

10000 there with 1400from Sunderland. 

So that makes 8600 rovers fans there.

Theyre coming for us don’t forget...

That might be the official number of Sunderland fans but I know through a Sunderland fan I work with that the Mackems were buying tickets in the home end because of the paltry amount of tickets they were given.

http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/13889/jester-official-sunderland-matchday-thread?page=10                              Reality is striking.

It feels already like we’re down so if we stay up that’s a positive otherwise we’ve got a good vote for next season.

The game on Tuesday was a real battle and imo the players looked exhausted at the end - perhaps that is some of the reason for today?
What is worrying is that we have Sat/Tues matches all through March so the players are going to be tested

Talks like their fitness levels are not high enough; that is down to the coaching staff and is a big worry if true. ?

Their fixtures in March;

Home    Blackpool, Luton & Charlton

Away     Plymouth, Doncaster, Scunthorpe and Gillingham

I can`t see them getting too many points from that lot.

#comingforusjustveryslowly

I can see them getting 8-10 points out of those 7 games, which would be decent enough for them. Hopefully you are right and also hopefully Sunderland deprive them of Wembley, just do we don’t have to hear all about it.

That's generous Bar BS3, I reckon 1 home win and a couple of away draws, mind you my football betting this season has been abysmal so they will probably win them all !!!

Hopefully I’m being cautiously generous towards them. 

Zero points and a semi final defeat would be a very pleasant March..!

Indeed, this was the Bards effort:

We blue few, we happy blue few, we band of boob cricketers;
For here to-day them "sheds" in the ground with me
Shall be my excuse; be they ever so vile,
This day shall bring no further points;
And gentlemen in Guernsey now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here to invest,
And hold their plastic franchise cheap whilst we are the famous blue and white and have family friendly fans
Who fought with us upon horse punching day.

I can’t see them getting anything against Luton or Charlton and perhaps a draw at Gillingham

4 points and firmly entrenched in the relegation zone

I reckon they might beat Blackpool at home and maybe scab draws at Scunny and Gills. Nothing from any of the others though so five points from 21 should keep them in the bottom four hopefully.

I see a few of them over at delusion central are saying that if Coventry get thrown out the league will only relegate three sides. What they seem to forget though is that all Cov`s results would be deleted and the s*gs actually beat them so they`d lose three points! I think it was something like 3-0 as well so their GD takes a hit too - win/win!

They'll stay up. You know it, I know it.

The day they went non league was hilarious. We won't see them relegated again.

Changing the subject slightly. I haven't had a result from the bookies all season.

No they won’t. As clueless and totally overrated as he was Clarke was still the ‘best’ thing they had, but the fewers (most of them) wanted him gone. They got their wish, but then the circus running that amateur outfit decided it’ll be a splendid idea to give Cockman a 2 1/2 contract after impressing them after 5 games :facepalm: they’ve got no pissing hope with that Gypo in charge, he’s the bloke who thinks they don’t need new facilities, and in the week talking before their Portsmouth game he told reporters ‘its championship football isn’t it’

Be it Owners, board members, staff, players, and of course the loyal and true, everyone associated with that club are the most deluded, bullshitting people to walk this earth.

The tent pitching capacity is huge, does away with the restrictions of Horefield. The flagpoles offer a simple “big screen mounting solution” - tie it on with baler twine! Good Severnside/welsh hills site solution!

Given the way these things seem to work these days, in joining the Cock’s coaching staff (sic) Joe Dunne effectively becomes the next g*s manager ‘in-waiting’. That he is prepared to undertake the role on an internship speaks volumes to me. Wally’s long term aim is clearly to return the club, one job at a time, to ametuer status. Everything else being in place he now only needs to stop paying the first team squad for the club’s idealistic morally pure Corinthian credentials to become apparent to all.

I was watching EFL goals program and Plymouth are building a new stand the entire length of their pitch, with more seats than the whole of Chernoble. Exeter have built two stands at their ground but the 15ers still claim that only them and Spurs are doing any substancial ground improvements. Since when has a big screen bracket been more substantial than a Stand ?
