GlossopLatic Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Well then, you don't have permission to look at it when it's installed. Righto I will look away if it's installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozman Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I wonder if they've actually bought it anyway and are just trying to raise as much money towards it as they can, seeing as it's parked outside the north stand every time anything is going on at the club.

ShireBlue Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Club wants to put it in the corner between the Chaddy End and the North Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonLatics Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Club wants to put it in the corner between the Chaddy End and the North Stand. Then for the following season after we install it, home fans are moved back to the chaddy so no one can see it ?

opinions4u Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Despite an initial lack of enthusiasm on my part, I've changed my mind. I want this thing inside Boundary Park. A few quid from everybody plus a bit of sponsorship with the club chipping in too could make it possible. Give it a go. £5 for a chance to win the match ball from the Liverpool win. £75 for a Lee Croft signed limited edition print from that game. Other choices too. http://www.tifosy.com/latics Edited February 21, 2016 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Another revenue stream, innit. For brassbank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 For brassbank? This is what stops me. There is no guarantee any of the revenue will go to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 What if the Trust owned it? I've suggested this. Or that all revenue is directed towards PlayerShare or something of that ilk. That would tempt many into investing I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) The trust board are monitoring the fundraising efforts on this and although we do have finances, I don't think they will plug the gap at the moment. To be honest and I'm going to be damn when I say this, there are other priorities that the funds should be used for, or kept in the the bank until needed In my opinion that is, so Let the damning begin.....

beag_teeets Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Fully agree with you, the money could be better spent. Granted that the screen would bring in advertising revenue we could also get advertising revenue through less high tech schemes. Broady managed to get someone to sponsor the old Lookers car park, what would that have cost? Two bottles of vodka, a couple of lap dances and a few photos of the B&Q car park?

I wasn't suggesting the Trust should plug the gap. I was suggesting that if the funds were raised the Trust should enjoy the ongoing revenue and reinvest it in facilities for supporters. Like another scoreboard visible to the North Stand. ;) If the club made such a commitment it could drive more donations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
