    Cheltenham's scoreboard is quite small compared to the big one (15sqm compared to chesterfields 30sqm) but still considerably bigger than ours

    I've seen better quality scoreboards at Regionalliga games, compared to the one at Oakwell.

    I couldn't think of 1 single bit of the football club that would be a bigger waste of money

    As people probably know, I'm a bit of a happy clapper. But on the subject of the scoreboard I have to say the old one was embarrassing and the new one is probably equally so in a different way. Either get a decent one or don't bother.

    Can you explain how something which generates income is a waste of money?

    Mik
    Mike phenix's wages?
    Otis Kahn's wages?
    Jake Charles's wages?
    Harry whites wages?
    Kayden Jackson's wages?

    In fact if I see the words 'striker' and 'development squad' in the same article on the official site I already know it's a waste of money

    But £60k for something that would both look good and generate income.

    Reading the comments from the Cheltenham chairman it's important for them to improve the match day experience. BFC dunt gi' a chuff.

    A few statistics and projections from Cheltenham
    What they charge to advertise on it:
    Scoreboard sponsor – one season, includes exclusive in-play advertising £10,000
    Birthday sponsor £2,000
    Goals sponsor £5,000
    Corner sponsor £3,000
    Team news and substitutes sponsor £3,500
    Stats sponsor £2,000
    Social media sponsor £2,400
    Attendance sponsor £1,200
    Buy the scoreboard – four-year sponsor £56,000

    And the income:


      • Match profit: £2,227.54
      • Seasonal revenue: £62,900.00
      • 10-year revenue: £629,000.00
      • 10-year profit: £594,000.00
    Now a breakdown of ours.
    Scoreboard sponsor – one season, includes exclusive in-play advertising £0
    Birthday sponsor £0
    Goals sponsor £0
    Corner sponsor £0
    Team news and substitutes sponsor £0
    Stats sponsor £0
    Social media sponsor £0
    Attendance sponsor £0
    Buy the scoreboard – four-year sponsor £0

    Income:
    • Match profit: £0
    • Seasonal revenue: £0
    • 10-year revenue: £0
    • 10-year profit: £0

    And yet a lot of people tell me that our approach is the more financially sensible.

    Actually considering an outside team come in to operate it on match days just how much money are we LOSING by having such a poor board?

    Ours is more "sensible" because we don't have to spend a pound.

    Why don't you buy it for the club and generate a return on your investment from this fantastic business opportunity as well as helping invest in the club?

    Sadly I haven't just sold a championship football squad for millions upon millions of pounds.

    Why would a supporter use his own money to fund something for the club? Do you not think it's a poor show if Cheltenham can get themselves a scoreboard which shames ours? You probably don't.

    Is your attitude that if you aren't a millionaire then you should shut the **** up and not expect improvement?

    To be fair you'd have thought our commercial team would have looked at this wizardry of free money and jumped at the chance.
    Perhaps they thought, it's just a ******* scoreboard.
