We finally have the new scoreboard.

According to the commercial department. Not sure it was what we were expecting.

 

Sponsors actually.

 

So it's not the main one?

 

Do all the lights work and can you actually read it?

 

With a magnifying glass.

 

We've got new sponsors for the boards to the left and right of the current scoreboard.

Of course sorry.

 

Was this an attempt at humour that I've missed? If so, let me be the apologetic one.

 

damn you got me excited then thought we had arrived in the 21st century

 

They have confirmed that there is to be 'exciting news soon' though regarding the new scoreboard.

 

Grimsby Town have got a new scoreboard this year, how come they can get one, yet it is beyond the scope of Barnsley?

 

What company would want to be associated with out scoreboard?

Though I guess having a advertising board at the side of it could be a good idea because at leats folk will read it as they can't read the scoreboard!

 

I hope they leave the scoreboard turned off on Sunday; its going to be pretty embarrassing having that pathetic attempt of an electronic scoreboard open to mockery on live TV.

 

We can't compete with the likes of Grimsby Town.

 

sneak peak

and before anyone says anything - yes its a piss take. The scores are the wrong way round.
