BP1960 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Heard lots of adverse comments it was difficult to follow play last night due the brightness of these hoardings. Should the plug be pulled on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsworthlatic Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 The boards combined with the darker netting is a nightmare from the Jimmy Frizzell Stand. Definitely need turning down, otherwise the winter games along with the Tuesday night games are going to be a nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticMark Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I'm sure they can be turned down. They only need to be 'ultrabright' on a sunny day, not at night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy said it s being worked on, but it is up to the shirt sponsors who happen to be Wakelet. I must say though that they are doing a better job than Eden did. At least there is some amination in them now, like the coach going around the "Go Goodwins' ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Don't think the trend for dark nets helps either. But that might be a League objective. It would be a perfectly reasonable adjustment to dim the bright hoardings. I admire what the Community Trust have done to support those with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, but too bright advertising hoardings might be undoing that work to an extent. On a related note from my view 2/3 'scoreboards' are on the North Stand side and the other is in the corner of the RRE nearest the North Stand. Can those in the North Stand see a 'scoreboard'.

Im happy for a bit of animation... Genuinly wasn't bothered by the darker ones but the who pitch lit up when the white ones came on. Must be distracting as a player when it changes.

kowenicki Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 They are a bit bright sometimes. Not a problem for me personally. I’m still amazed we found someone that can work them. OWTB assured me you had to be a COBOL programming genius that worked for Eden to be able to master the mystery of the boards. More 3rd party ads than ever too. Guess we have a better commercial team/person now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
