Following on from my enquiries about the size of the pitch and car parking around the Globe, I would now like your thoughts on whether there will be a decent scoreboard at the Globe.
At CP it was on the halfway line on the car wash side at ground level, and was changed manually by a young gentleman about 2 minutes after a goal had been scored.
I was just wondering whether there would be something more up to date/professional at the new ground.

Personally, i wouldn't mind if they used the same system at the Globe. I know its quite old fashioned but it doesnt cost the club money and its just as affective.

Although if we have the money, i'd love to see a large scoreboard in the corner.
Like they had at highbury! Which also had team line-ups and player statistics e.g yellow cards, substitution arrows and a clock!
They could also use it for sponsorship slides pre-game and half time.

i know it is all about the cost, but it would add to the matchday experience to have a clock that ran through the game, so everyone would know how many minutes had gone, but then again, there is the old fashioned way.....as each half kicks off, look at your watch and keep a check that way

Better still... why not wait until the first home game and come along and see for yourselves what the club has to offer.

Pitch size, car parking, score board, price of a Pie, price of a pint, etc.

Surely thats half the fun and experience of a new stadium. I know it is for me when visiting a new away ground i've never been to.

It could also be used to give out latest, half time and full times scores rather than them having to be given over the PA some new grounds don't have a score board at all.

I just feel that the club might be missing a trick by not addressing the issue of some kind of scoreboard, although I have nothing against the PA system, which could work alongside it.

What happened to the electronic scoreboard that we got from Carlisle as part of the DC deal?

That would be ideal at The Globe.

Alternatively we could always have 'scoreboard' girls parading round the pitch as they do in Boxing.......

I will be very surprised if we don't end up with a better scoreboard next season. Keep hearing that we still have Carlisle's old board kicking around from the sale of Danny Carlton but as I remember that was rather basic and the club may feel that a larger, all singing, all dancing one may be worth spending a few quid on, particularly if it could be used for advertising. It could be bolted to the wall of the north terrace and would improve the overall look of the new ground.

But like someone said, we will just have to wait and see what we get...

....we could always have one of those 'chaser' scoreboards on the top level of the Community Building.

did it ever exist? I'd have thought we'd have been using it had we received one!

I seem to recall Chesh saying to me that it was stored underneath the North Stand.

Might now be in one of the many piles of shattered concrete...that was once a football ground.

Did it balls exist.

ideal place for it would be in the community block or like a most grounds on top of the away stand. Even something as simple as what they have at Shrewsbury would do.

A wonderful command of the English language!
