    The difference in replies on here about this screen and social media platforms like twitter is crazy, it's like two completely different sets of fans almost at times.

    It's a fkn abomination, it genuinely looks horrendous. I just hope it didn't cost them too much and it isn't as off centre in person.
    Thanks fuck, I’ll happily have a different view from that cesspit 
    Twitter is and always will be class.

    What is the difference then? (I'm not on Twitter)

    Is "social media" more pro or more anti, because there are both sets of views on here.
    On here it feels like no one seems bothered how bad it is, on twitter and instagram it feels like 90-99% who are commenting are calling out how bad it looks.

    I know people will say there is more to worry about etc, but that would have undoubtedly cost the club money, I don't know how much, but it wouldn’t have been dirt cheap, and it genuinely looks awful. Who gives that the go ahead. 
    But have this 90-99% of people actually seen it yet?

    Seems an odd thing to have a meltdown about.

    Disappointing considering how much they hyped it up. 

    Do I really care? Not really.

    Can't believe people think it's smaller than the old one.

    Twitter was before it became a place for the terminally online weirdos it attracts now.

    Twitter or X, or whatever the ketamine addict is calling it today, isn’t representative of anything, and so 99% of those looking for attention will say something edgy to either get attention or not stand out. 
    Actually I have met a lot of the people commenting on these threads on both platforms, and they're decent, normal people. 

    You're slandering a fair amount of people with that comment who follow our club fairly religiously. The people I am seeing post do represent us as I see them all at plenty of games :) 

    Was just pointing out how the vibe on here is very different to other platforms, it's interesting.

    But it the same people? And the same bubble you see all the time. Slanderous, do me a favour 

    Unlike the hectoring oddballs on Tommy Robinson favourite site, I’ll wait and see what it’s like.

    Here's an image of the new screen, with the size, shape and position of the old screen superimposed.  I hope this is of use to anyone still deciding whether the new screen is bigger than the old screen, smaller than the old screen or the same size.  

     If you still can't decide, I would be happy to provide the image to you, if you DM me.  I will reply with the image The_New_Screen_Is_Considerably_Bigger_Than_The_Old_Screen.jpg 
    It’s obviously bigger but it doesn’t fill the gap between the two stands as we were told it would. And I hope they do something to tidy up the area around it.

    A lot of premature evaluation happening on this thread.

    Thanks, I think we can take that as a compliment. Happy to have given you a different perspective.

    If it is narrower, surely it will be harder to read the team names ?

    you could have a one foot wide screen that went all the way around the ground and it would be ‘bigger’ than the old screen, but you wouldn’t be able to read anything ! 
    It's not narrower FFS look at the superimposed picture from Chizz. It's the same height as the current screen, placed higher up, and double the width

    I don't get what's so difficult for people to understand

    The main difference I can tell is on X it’s a proper meltdown about how shit it is.
    Whereas here it’s more meh whatever.
    If X is such a cesspit, why do you even have to mention it? Why even look at it? Just let the idiots squabble in their invisible corner. If you pay any attention to them, then you’re giving them undeserved credit.

    I hope that the team line ups will be clearer to see.  I would have thought this to be the main purpose of the scoreboard.
    Not sure why people think team line ups will be a problem on the new screen.

    I can count on your fingers how many times I've looked at the stadium TV during a match at the Valley.

    But it does look shit 🤣
