The Reebok scoreboard

Post by boltonboris » Thu Oct 31, 2013 4:58 pm

Or the 'giant screen' as they called it upon installation.

I've heard we're replacing it out of the lifeline lotto thing the club do. The reason is that the technology for this piece of kit is now redundant and should anything happen to the screen, it would be unfixable.

Is that why we don't let Ngog play the first half very often?

Question: will the chavs be under it when they take it down or maybe even they could be paid to take it down.disclaimer: I used to actually be one of the chavs under the scoreboard :|

My favourite ad EVER to appear on the 'giant screen' (I bet some of you don't even have one do you, losers?! :D) was, whenever a player went down injured it would flash up - Injured? Eat Soreen Malt Loaf. :lol:

I liked that, but I was taken by, each time there was a corner the words "Don't cut corners" and details of a roof-truss company being flashed up.

I suppose it could have been worse, they could have worded it about trusses each time there was an injury.

Oh I'm not sure. Probably. One that I've noticed flash up at the moment is 'Carling Pub of the Week'. The other week it had been awarded to Astley Bridge Royal British Legion - which, by some distance, isn't even the best boozer at the bottom of Belmont Road, and it's only in a field of two!!!

Point of order - wasn't it called The Jumbotron or something when first launched?

In fact, here you go, with some reasoning behind it...

Sony JumboTrons ceased being sold in 2001, when the company decided to exit the business.

Jumbotron's a trademark, innit? Like Hoover and Google and Durex. I know Arsenal had one (a jumbotron not a Durex) but I'm not sure ours was Sony... like Betamax and MiniDisc.
