  • That’s a serious bit of cash being spent on the ground.. can’t fault the intentions of the owners at all here 

    Maybe 'cash' was not used!

    That one looks 4:3 to 16:10 mode.

    A small amount (in relation to the cost) will have been but they will have signed over a bunch of rights/responsibilities for what is shown on the LED’s

    Some fantastic memories of Mark Fish in a Charlton shirt.

    It's less tall than I thought it would be, will be interesting to see how easy it is to read lineups etc

    Not judging it until I can verify how it looks from my seat next Saturday!

    Don't think they could go the whole hog at the bottom there.

    Had to leave access for fat ejected Millwall fans to safely re-enter their pen.

    If anyone is going to the game on Sunday would love a picture of what it looks like from the stands during the match

    Yeah this was my worry, that a 32:9 display doesn’t really do a lot for you here unless you are also increasing the height of the display.
    I imagine the actual sqm of “actual usefulness” for us customers won’t really have changed a lot, we’ll end up seeing the traditional “team sheets” in the central 16:9 of the 32:9 and they’ll move the adverts that used to be top (or bottom or both I can’t remember) to the side spaces. 
    The increase in resolution won’t feel much at typical supporter distances and they’ll hamper that with the black text on a red background again. 
    Ho-hum, at least it won’t have cost them much.

    If you are in blocks F, G and H of the AC stand, from what I can tell, you will have to stand up to see it if anyone is standing up between you and the screen.  In any case, you will have to lean forward to see it thus blocking the view of someone to your right.  There's a reason why 'big' sreens are high up.  It looks like they have made the same mistake they made with previous screens.

    I might be wrong, but didn't the club say it would fill that corner of the ground ?

    it doesn't look like the player names would be any bigger on that screen

    Have to see what its like, 2 x 16:9 could well work, and it depends on what they put on the Ribbon boards as well. I'm not hugely fussed by team sheets on the screen to be honest

    It will drive me crazy that it’s off centre from the poles it’s mounted on.

    I'd imagine exactly the same as the image posted today, but with blokes in shorts running in front of it.
