'Southend United supporters will be able to check the score at Roots Hall once again with the arrival of a new scoreboard'.

Check the score ?

It's not cricket , how hard can it be to keep count

Maybe they should have sponsored getting us a creative midfielder and then tied it all up with shirt that gave the score on the back in fluorescent lights... It would have looked great with the nights closing in these days.

Where is the marketing department when you need them.

At least it'll be safe from McCormacks wayward shooting - unless he can hit it from Swindon.

Harder than you might think, judging by the experience of one of our owners (or was it a mod?) at a reserve match once....

No offence mate, but this particular issue has been going on for years and years. Appreciate that there are other things to spend money on, but we have been promised a new one of these before...

Good news, and maybe, just maybe, the new CEO has a list of things to do due to the new communication between the club and the various fan groups, and he is actually bloody doing them ! !

Love the marketing photo - we've clearly found it in Del Boy's garage.
Also, I thought we were supposed to be skint - where did the money for this come from. I guess it could be a freebie if we advertise things for people on it?

 

[sufc_dave]

Where is Maher to break it to pieces with his shots?

 

[Gremlin]

Forget the scoreboard, look at that paving. And is that the Warchest at the back of the lock-up?

 

[GodblessArthurRowley]

New scoreboard,must surely mean new ground put back several more years.

 

[ldnfatso]

How long before we get screenburn of "Southend 0" on it?

Trueblue informs me its a freebie.

 

[Shrimper]

I'm guessing it's a freebie provided they advertise who made it.

Any idea where its going to be put?

Any idea where its going to be put?

That seems like a silly question seeing as the scoreboard has always been on the North Bank roof, but what would they do with the advertisements over the old one? Those companies will have (hopefully) paid for them and wouldn't want them thrown away...
