Guest toonlass Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Oh great and why not play a tune every time we score a goal and we can all wear giant sponge hands as well. Apparently, Wigan played Walk Like an Egyptian when Mido scored that pen the other week. According to Chris Kamara. So did Boro when Mido scored against us a couple of seasons ago. Nowt new, and nowt good about it. Music after goals and cheerleaders are just not necessary! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 No, no, no, absolutely not. Tinpot as fuck. If you can't keep track of the score or the team, you shouldn't be in the stadium to start with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leazes.ender Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 All the Champions League teams have them though... http://www.tottenhamhotspurs.tv/style/spurs-03.jpg Which CL team uses Shite Hart Lane then? We've got the balance right with our little corner flag clocks. What more do you need? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't keep track of the score or the team, you shouldn't be in the stadium to start with. Definitely, the only use they would have would be to show the scores at HT but thats nowt that the gadgee on the pitch couldn't announce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Every fucking team has one. Old Trafford has one, the Emirates has one, City of Manchester Stadium has one, WHL has one. It's not tinpot. Even Highbury had one where they left the lineups on throughout the whole match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 1.2 million to show replays that aren't contentious, and to keep the score. Fucking hell! Imagine if we'd done it last summer instead of signing Bassong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Old Trafford doesn't have one. They just have a little scoreboard in the corners don't they? Its another step on becoming the identikit stadium, hence why most the grounds that have them are recent builds aside from WHL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Old Trafford has a scoreboard. Anyway, the Emirates has one. Why aren't people calling it tinpot? Did Arsenal play in a tinpot stadium when they played in Highbury and had a gigantic jumbotron? Bet no one said anything when they were winning shit.

Brings in loads of money through sponsorship, I suppose, which is the be-all-and-end-all these days. I'm not a huge fan, but like you say plenty of the "big" teams have one. The scoreboard plans have been in the pipeline for a good while now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 No, no, no, absolutely not. Tinpot as f***. If you can't keep track of the score or the team, you shouldn't be in the stadium to start with. I've always found that argument laughable as f***. If I've arrived 10 minutes late, I'd like to know the score without having to ask people around me. If somebody's scored while I'm off at the bathroom, I'd like to know as well. The whole "if you can't pay attention you shouldn't be here!" thing has always seemed like one of the most ridiculous parts of the Geordie soopafan myth to me. Stadiums should have scoreboards. It's not tinpot it's common sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Newcastle have not ruled out the possibility of stadium expansion in future years, while fans will be delighted to see that a scoreboard is about to make a return to St James’s for the first time since the early 1990s. Llambias said: “We can expand the stadium by another 8,000. The fans have to come on board and fill up the stadium we have here first. “We would love to build it up to 60,000. But we’re not there yet. The market is tough – there are a lot of people out there who are suffering. “We understand that and we try to be realistic. We have a new commercial director, Barry Webber, and one of his projects is to get out there and get some sponsors on board on a jumbotron scoreboard. “I love a scoreboard. The issues are the locations and the cost – it is almost £1.2m.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I wouldn't be against it but i wouldn't want a fucking massive thing like that in the opening post. Just something 'tasteful' and discreet like the Mackems' would be alright with me. Have we really got anywhere to house a component such as that, anyway? Just let it hang down from the Leazes or Gallowgate or summat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The one in the 80s and 90s was great- the gigantic GOAL when we scored....the horrible pixalated face of Micky Quinn....the "Pure Geordie Magic" flash up when we went 6-0 up v Barnsley....the deregoratory "Visitors" sign never being changed. Loved it, bring it back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marky555 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I think they should make the timers at the corner flags run past 90:00, just so we know exactly where we're at. Pisses me off when it stops at 90 like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Bring back the old style A-Z pitch side scoreboards giving the scores at all the other games. Technology? Pah, i SPIT in your face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
