"Stick these in and we'll pay you £50k a season" or however much.... Perhaps you should set this business model in motion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I thought it would generate more income is because you can have multiple sponsors on the perimeter boards which would mean you could have more sponsors than the present static ones. I do stand corrected as I don't really have too much of a clue but I reckon perimeter boards provide more income and more advertising purely because all the premier league have them? Has anyone every bought anything after consciously noticing an advertising boarding at Boundary Park? Personally I don't think a scoreboard will generate much of a return on investment financially as only 4000 people are seeing it every other week. However people have taken the time to donate and raise money for this and not to deliver or to go and shift the goalposts like this is yet another PR own goal from the club.

Between them two we get about 5 minutes of air time a week. Not 100% on this but dont't most premier league clubs only have them on the side you'd see on tv? The side the camera is on is just the usual advertising hoardings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These big screens in small grounds look really tacky. Something with a score and a time is all you need. We don't even need electronic perimeter advertising.

I do stand corrected as I don't really have too much of a clue but I reckon perimeter boards provide more income and more advertising purely because all the premier league have them? Jorvik is correct when he asserts TV exposure and specifically TV ratings, the currency from which airtime is traded, is the reason why it would make obvious economical sense for all Premier League and many Championship clubs to install them. TVR's calcuated against our airtime [SSN and C5 included] will be very poor indeed. Having said that, whether we could generate 'more' income [and how much more?] compared to static sites, one assumes could be forecasted and a business case built fairly easily, if one was in possession of the current numbers.

A compromise might be multi-functional electronic perimeters which have a dedicated 5m stretch that always shows the score, the time and additional scoreboard things. Then offer refunds for anybody who doesn't want it. However once again the club have handled this totally the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would a crowdfunding initiative for perimeter advertising boards have raised? Fuck all. Yes, I completely understand that and as have said previously it is bloody annoying and isn't the point at all. The lack of communication is dreadful (but now expected) and I can see why people feel they have been shafted. I am just merely making the point that perimeter boards are a decent idea.
