George Kinnell 50 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Did anybody else notice the advertising is the wrong way round. We read left to right. The adverts appear with the right hand word first . Basic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

singe 2,228 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I got the impression previously they could direct the ai traffic to Ringway, whereas yesterday they seemed the right level to notice them but not be blinded. OR is that just me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I want to see illuminations I'll go to Blackpool. Btw. Off the top of your head can you list all the advertisers and if you or your business associates have bought anything from them as a result of these boards?

LaticsPete 1,485 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I think going to the cinema has been ruined. It’s a distraction having to listen instead of just looking at the pictures. And the colour is off putting. Nowt wrong with black and white. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had earache from the booming sound. As you know I'm a dinosaur and paying to watch one movie and half an hour of adverts is hardly progress from the treat of 2 feature films, a cliffhanger serial, cartoons and a newsreel. All the while looking forward to watching entertainers like Bobby Johnstone and Alan Groves home and away. Glad I'm prehistoric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Off the top of your head can you list all the advertisers and if you or your business associates have bought anything from them as a result of these boards? I don't think any of the ads. are paid for at the moment. They seem to be all our sponsors who get the advertising as part of the deal. That's what needs to be fixed, but in the current Covid world, not many businesses will be willing to fork out to advertise at a football club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Inspiral_Carpet 333 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Everyone is missing the really big issue which is that we haven’t scored at BP in the three matches since they were switched back on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
