Oi Charlton, can you make the font on the big screen smaller

    Any reason the This Is The Valley was shown 5 mins before the teams came out? It's good to have that to build up the atmosphere, but playing it too early then going back into music was poor.

    Pickwick, even if you had a point, you're basically saying the club doesn't need an announcer, a programme or a website either (actually they probably don't need a website because they say everything through the SLP anyway).

    But let me put it to you like this. FOOTBALL IS ON THE PITCH, WHY WOULD YOU NEED IT ON THE SCREEN AS WELL? (Do you realise there were days before screens when watching it on the pitch was all you could do?).

    I don't really want to be looking down at my phone throughout the game to work out who their number 12 is or who just got booked. I want the screen to tell me.

    More to the point, the club needs fans to have a reason to look at the big screen because they have advertisers paying for its use who want fans to see their adverts. Live action is not a reason. Replays are a reason, and line-ups are a reason. But we're not allowed line-ups because the club have got their blinkers on and don't want to listen to what the fans really want.

    It's very hard timing the video for the fact we don't know when the players are coming out the tunnel, we can only estimate. Yesterday was too long yet a few games ago it was played at the same length of time before kick off and matched perfectly as the tunnel was pulled down. The players did come out the tunnel slightly later than expected yesterday.

    Hi mate.

    Is it possible to ditch the countdown thing before the "this is the valley" video.

    Unnecessary IMO, a little bit Palace.

    cheers

    but what about the terrible music that accompanies it now?

    It is a University of Greenwich production.

    Perhaps we'll get a student taking over as Chief Executive soon.

    I think this is part of the thing though isn't it, a chance for Greenwich University to learn on the job? - but the best way they'll learn for the real world is to do what the client needs, and ignoring customers is not a good lesson to give.

    I asked my 13yr old son what he thought of the big screen. Answer - ' pointless, they do not even have the teams on it'. (Short pause for thought).'The replays are a good idea but happen so quickly you miss them and they don't do them again'.
    I then asked if he could read the teams names when they come up. 'Not without putting my glasses on'.
    Who advertises on the screen? 'The blue bit at the bottom of the screen?' Yes. 'No idea. That is why you can't read it dad. It reduces the screen size so you can't see anything. They should always think about how the audience is going to view things'.(short monologue on what teach says) 'What looks good on your home computer is lost on a small screen.' (Shows me phone with small screen which he wants me to replace).'They probably have someone your age doing it'.

    The swelling in his right ear is going down slowly.

    Thought there already was a trainee one?
