Not bizarre in the slightest - we make money from advertising boards after stating we don't make money from the screen. One makes money one doesn't. Go to football to watch football - strange concept I know. How did I cope in 70's/80's and 90's without a screen?
This thread in a nutshell Me: the small board is inadequate and doesn't generate any revenue as advertisers have little interest in advertising on such a small screen. A large screen which captures the audience's attention with videos is proven to generate revenue as advertisers are more likely to want to pay to use it. You: but the small inadequate one doesn't generate any money. Why would a big one?

You: but the small board doesn't make money. Me: I know. That's why we should have a big one. You: why? The small one doesnt make any money.

Is it clear? We lose on the small one so we'd make money on a bigger one by advertising things that people probably aren't looking at. Not many get into ground before 2:45 - from then on we do match build up - no adverts - can't see us advertising at half time - mainly scores and no one around near the end. Hardly a great marketing strategy. Majority of big screens tend to just have club related stuff anyway. You need to stop being so patronizing as well ... I'm far from thick ... not the first time you've tried it either.
This company points out how lucrative our club is for advertising revenue.. http://www.sway.ie/pitchsideledadvertising/ Correction, it's not a company it's an article basically saying Barnsley are missing out on advertising revenue.
