I think that the current location is pretty silly. Above a goal is the most likely place that it will face repeated strikes. I appreciate these things are built to withstand that, but taking an element of repetative occurance away would surely make sense, and as TB says above, the South/west corner would make more sence in that regard

Is that why the scoreboard for ShrimperZone FC is actually in the goal to save it being hit by any shots ? :hilarious:

Even worse place when Tomlin is in the team.

Best place for it would be the East Stand at the top.
 
Bah, I have no time for this modern jiggery-pokery - where's the excitement of guessing how long we have left to play and trying to remember the score? Bring back jumpers for goalposts too while we're at it.
 
I think a scoreboard is frankly the most useless piece of equipment at a football ground, I mean its not as if I need to check it every 5 minutes just in case we cant remember the score.
Actually come to think of it a scoreboard is the most useful piece of equipment at a football ground, as it allows me to nod off during the dull bits and check the score when I wake up.
Will miss the old one though as I never forget the explosion of camera phones going off as the Scoreboard recorded S-UT-EN- 1. M-N U-D 0. Magic pure magic
 
Thats all we need. An all flashing, all led blinking scoreboard. Anyone at the club thought about the glare or the annoying flicker effect and the consequences??? If its too bright or too dazzling then thats me off across the pitch with a hand grenade. GRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHH.

I like it simply because it tells me how long is left. Never wear a watch and can never tell how long we have to equalise against a team in the bottom 3 :)
 
Just thought it worth an update. I was down at the Hall today and believe it or not work has actually started on the scoreboard, so I would assume it will be up and running in time for the next home game..........possibly, maybe!!
