    Chesterfield's is a profitable success. It also shows replays

    I used to say the same.

    But you've got to look at the bigger picture (excuse the pun). Think of the amount of additional revenue one of these modern scoreboards could bring in, in terms of sponsorship. How many extra people would come to the ground early to watch interviews, replays, highlights etc, bringing in more money through/food drink sales?

    It'd pay for itself really

    At one of the fans meetings at start of season Mansford said we won't be getting a new scoreboard so I asked him to turn the current one off as it's embarrassing, he looked gone out at me

    Are you saying Ben Mansford doesn't realise the current scoreboard is an embarrassment? Bloody hell!

    We can't have one because it costs £4.7m for the screen, £16m for a hurricane rated frame and £3.2m per year in wages for the 300 strong team required to operate it

    Can't see much room for it to pay for itself....it would only interest the current sponsors, I see no reason why a screen on its own should attract new blood,
    would anyone turn up earlier to watch the same interviews on the website?....and buy extra food or drink?...surely that would only detract from half time sales anyway, which are franchised out at the end of the day.
    The only advantages are that it would look nice...and seeing replays in a 6-1 win would be great, less great though in a dismal 3-0 defeat.
    If the club are thinking of investing several hundred thousand quid, I'd rather see it invested in the squad...tying down Adam Hammill for instance, winning football puts more bums on seats than a large telly.

    Yesterday was the first time I thought we actually needed a scoreboard. Couldn't remember how many we'd scored at one point.

    why don't they just hire one of those ones on vans, pull it in space between away end and east stand , be cheaper than buying one

    I think you'd need far bigger than 16m, I can't remember the exact size we needed to do a community outdoor cinema, but 16m sounds about right, It wouldn't be the easiest thing to see the detail on 60 plus yards away. QPR's big screen is twice that size.

    There's the answer, buy one and rent it out on non match days for 2 grand a go.
