It?s broke mate. Hope that helps.

First game back in the EFL and a broken scoreboard. Disappointing but not the end of the world.

Someone said at seniors lunch that someone broke into the ground and damaged it. Long wait for parts.

New scoreboard is on order and will be in for the Grimsby game in September according to Ashley Kirk on Thursday evening. The old scoreboard failed the day before the Forest friendly and the software to it is now outdated.So it had passed its sell by date by all accounts.

No problem , they wanted the new scoreboard in for last night but the supplier couldn't sort it until the week leading up to the Grimsby game. Apparently it's going to be able to do more than the last one so fingers crossed!!

Please also note.
The new scoreboard, which obviously wasn't in the clubs expected budget this season has cost the Kirk's a very large amount of money.
Well done again Ash and Phil.
These two are going to be the clubs best signings in years.

I'm surprised they haven't introduced pitch side LED advertising with the increased live coverage. Wonder how long it would take to recoup the outlay.

Correct.
I was also hearing yesterday that the new electric car charging area will probably have been provided by grants. So, great creative lateral thinking going on here, and much appreciated. From what I saw, there's no supply on match days so everybody is happy.

What?s the plan with the old scoreboard above the north stand is that just stopping up forever?

Their ability and personalities compared to those we were subjected to for far too long are like comparing night with day.

The best way folk can thank them is keep turning up in numbers...

This was looked at after the Portsmouth FA Cup game. It was deemed not to be financially viable at the moment.

In that case I'm surprised they are worrying about a big screen apart from it looking daft not working. The clock was handy and also I find it really handy to be told the is a corner or a free kick. I can't see that bringing much revenue although I seem to remember our late great CEO Chris Turnip saying it would bring 90/100K per year.

I miss him. Who can forget the pissed up interview he gave that time?

Plus these advertising boards also 'block' the egress from the stands (in the case of an emergency, where the plastic chains /gaps are)

May be a SGSA (Sports Ground Safety Authority) Green Guide or SAG decision ?

Although it would be now worth possibly reconsidering given the amount of EFL league matches that are now being shown on SkySports+ channel this coming season.

Was that after the MK Dons cockup? There were so many they all merge into one.
