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. I'm sure you'll get your scoreboard. It'll just be a very wide one that bends around the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Should it ever have been like that? From what I remember it was opt in not opt out.

underdog Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) The original Tifosy target was £36k and I think it was a short period to raise it, think it was ned of march last year. when it became apparent that we had accumulated a fantastic £9k but would miss the deadline, the trust stepped in to. Re-negotiate until the timescale until the end of the season and a more realistic target. with fans help, the target was met and the funds were released to the club as per the Tifosy agreement. The trust we then told the funds were ring fenced until all parties were good to go, the trust was good to go but corney said he through the could source us a better scoreboard on one of his over seas pre-Xmas visits. It was only at eh end of march un officially via the fans meeting that corney announced it was not going to be scoreboard and fans could have therir money back. To me, the fans can have their money back...indicates he has taken teh £27k and used it either for this new adventure or something else. Again I can only jump to conclusions as there has been nothing from corney or club to confirm or deny this this was not the agreement and in my mind and my opinion on this.....piss poor performance that really does give those donors teh "v's" so to speak I am not amused Edited March 30, 2017 by underdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 So 27k. Are we saying 27k couldn't buy a scoreboard but can buy perimeter advertising around 3 sides of the ground? Doesn't make sense in terms of square footage of LCD screens. Perhaps the LCD perimeter boards are supplied 'free' by an ad agency for a slice of increased ad revenue?

That's odd logic. Clearly the relationship between the trust and the club has broken down. Not saying whose fault this is, it may actually be nobody's fault, it may be the clubs fault. But that shouldn't mean people 'take their bat home'. I have to say that there is a very clear negative message from the trust on this forum and it is evidenced in that I rarely see the two of you that I know about commenting in a positive way on this forum. Nothing in the Peter Clarke thread for instance and only a sideswipe dig in the "This week at Latics " thread. The best two bits of news we have recently had, one a statement of intent and the other an excellent bit of weekly PR from th club and the trust reps say nowt. Far more inclined to be involved in rumour and conjecture. It's not healthy. Just an observation. Tin hat on.
