When we played Wimbledon away (Innes) I don’t know what it was like for TV viewers, but the low level electronic advertising stuff made the game very hard to follow. Stuff got washed out, or obscured. There has been some of that at the Valley recently, but I sit higher up so it is a bit less of a problem, but not zero.

I guess it depends on how bright the floodlights are. If they're not that bright, then the advertising boards stand out too much.
big screen sounds like it's going to fill the gap between the East/South - much bigger
It sounds good, it’s a shame that it will probably stop a view of the pitch from the memorial garden. I’ve always liked that you can catch a glimpse of the pitch from it.

I am sure the residents won't be complaining...
They'll have a grandstand seat from upstairs. 2 nil Charlton.
Not sure I like the complete black staircase entrances..
Appreciate the effort, but I think the black stairwells are a big mistake. It sounds weird, but I always appreciated the light colour they were before. They were just right. I think the black will now draw out the fact that the ceiling of the covered stands is a weathered light colour (and they sure as hell won't paint the ceiling and all that steel). As a result, it won't pull together top to bottom and it's out of balance. This shouldn't really bother me as much as it should, obviously, but it does! This doesn't look like the Valley to me.

That looks jank! Never thought I'd diss any part of The Valley. Even loved the pot holes...
Well our club colours are red, white and black. There's black on the badge, there's black on quite a lot of the kits, the women's kits are red and black as opposed to red and white, and the black makes things in colour stand out more, so the signage has a clearer background to stand out against.
Plus if you paint all those areas white, they'll be incredibly dirty by the end of the season, p'raps sooner, so it won't look as good

I also think it'll be a q nice little effect walking up the black walkways and then seeing the green of the hallowed valley turf (I mean the pitch)

I like it! With our new LED lights, which are likely to be very bright, these three colours will look great (with the usual IMO disclaimer).
Lot of work going on and still a lot to do. Have a good look tomorrow.
