The live feed may not be distracting in the East as you have to go out of your way a bit to turn your neck.
For me sitting in block A of the West yesterday it was always in my eyeline which was a bit distracting - I assume it will be the same in the Covered End.
In the East, so not an eyeline distraction, as for any replays, well the rhythm of events is usually something happens, you react, you exchange with your companion's your reactions, and then you might look for a replay. Every time I craned looking for a replay it was too late.
If were having a moan about colours, the away dugout is now blue, and the bench staff all wearing flourscent yellow, to clash with sub bibs and stewards...
Wouldn't it be amazing if they could link it up so we can watch the match live on our phones or tablets then no one would have to look at the pitch at at all.
I think it was a great addition. A couple of times when the ball was in the corner flag I couldn't really see what was going on so I looked at the screen instead. I don't see how it can be distracting, it's still the same game...
It's also great news that the replays and stuff are being managed by students, brilliant that we're giving something to the students at greenwich as it's great experience for them.
Really impressed with it yesterday and even more so now I know that it was the UoG students operating it. Great experience for them and a brilliant way of using the relationship with the Uni to work for both sides.
Cracking display, very vivid and the replays were immediate. My only (very small) gripe (as I had the line ups on my phone) was that I thought the score line at the top was a bit too big.
Glad Dave hasn't been replaced. Mic sound didn't work well. Not using squad numbers made it very hard to spot the players even if you had a programme. Screen is good.
Bit odd that people are complaining about muffled audio. It was so loud and clear in C block of the East Stand that we thought that the speakers had been replaced.
I would have prefered to have the list of players and their numbers up on the screen on Saturday, would have made identifying the players on both teams easier.
Didn't like the live action, was too small and I was there..... What I need to know is the lineup, who is booked etc, basically as it used to be, cannot see the point of it. The screen seemed smaller due to the adverts. Have to whinge about something, football was good

Completely agree wit this, really disliked not having the players and cards up on the screen.
Live feeds are great if it's a Premier League match with 20 cameras, but not that. Also the graphics look so so, miss the team sheets, and no scores at half/full time.
What's the point of the rolling advert at the bottom?
I was looking forward to having the game on the 'big screen' but having seen it now, I prefer having the players names and numbers up there so I know who they are...
At the West Ham game the PA was deafening in the East stand , today you could barely hear it and i agree with the other comments. Keep the lineups on the screen for what possible reason would anyone wan't to watch the game live ( on a reduced screen) when it's already in front of us on the pitch.
Agree with all of the above from today. Doesn't strike me as an improvement, apart from image quality. I don't need to see the game l'm already watching. I do want to know who l'm watching though.
There was a tannoy in the upoer north that could be clearly heard to broadcast 'bbdbdins nene shah dmmmm nenjsj ally go' towards the end of the game...beats me what the fuss is all about...
With numerous new players on show, it was crazy not to show the line-up of players and their squad numbers. Reinstate this, forthwith, please. Instead, we got coverage of a game that we were watching! Bizarre. And the adverts took up 25% of the space. Who sanctioned this idiocy? Show goals and key incidents, by all means, but we're there to watch a football match, not coverage of it on a big TV.
I am not a great fan of live feed of the game, but my 11yr old son loved it as sitting/standing in the NU he actually got to see all of the game as if he couldn't see the game he just watched the screen.

Replays were excellent though, great addition.
Agreed the replays looked good.
It's pointless is all

Like others have said would much prefer the line ups and then just replays.

I'm watching the game. Why do I need it on a smaller screen?
I want to see an oppo player do something, look up and see what his name is.
The tannoy is inaudible in the NU, so had no idea about subs.
Understand innovation, but as a fan it was a backward step not forward

Teams/yellow cards etc with just the replays would be spot on IMO.
