palmer1 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 May be a silly question but is the trust certain that the money used is the same that was donated? from what I'm reading the club haven't communicated anything to the trust at all apart from Corney mentioned perimeter fencing months ago as an option?

Room for constant sponsorship opportunities through the 90 minutes. The score can easily be displayed on them and seen right around the ground. They (hopefully) look smart and make the ground look that little bit less dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and said so quite some time ago, BUT that does not excuse the way it has been handled with the Trust, which is appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to the advertising boards on top of the RRE? I assumed there is none because we don't have the sponsors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I think it's a better option (but also feel that we won't make too much money from it). It's not just the Trust - if there isn't going to be a scoreboard then the club should have consulted the fans who donated money towards a specific thing. I would imagine that the majority would have been happy for the different option but are now pissed off because they weren't communicated to.

Well I wouldn't give a flying **** about a scoreboard if all it did was display Oldham 0-? ???????. Clubs like ours should be doing everything we can to maximise sponsorship and if it takes a modern LED parimeter screen to do it, then I say crack on! This will hopefully look smart and at least make the younger fans feel like they're in a proper football ground and not a dingy old rotten box.

palmer1 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) If the fence can not only show advertising but shows the score along with the odd 'COMEON OLDHAM, or 'GOAL' when we score like the good old days while being seen by everybody in the ground from every vantage point... is there really an issue? its not like were getting a video screen and in theory it would be providing what you with exactly what you wanted.

Not for the money raised they didn't surely? Once plans changed it was always going to be a basic screen ala Fleetwood and Blackpool wasnt it?

NewBlue Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I actually prefer this scoreboard on perimeter advertising alternative to having a big tacky telly, but the way the club have gone about it is disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Of course, the devil is in the detail. If we are buying outright and getting a good deal then that is the best option, let's hope it is not diluted even further and on some sort of rental or profit share deal that some clubs have. and a decent maintenace agreement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boards at Forest and the like, showing the game and replays before and after the match. It helped build the atmosphere showing goals from the past few games. Like what was displayed outside the north stand when they launched the promotion. Like what the promotion was for. Like what I donated for.

As can anyone who donated and doesn't like this idea. Should have been more open with what was happening IF that money has gone to these instead of the screen. BUT you can get your money back so you won't lose out. Just means you're not allowed to look at the boards if you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Didnt he say people who had donated could have it back? If you don't like it...ask for it back. It's not complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
