Big screens.

[California-Hibs]

Sounds like music was playing over the goals shown pre match. This can work but also just having commentary ie Cliff and Tam going mad, can be great fun for the fans to have a laugh about and it also adds to the excitement.

[CentreLine]

I thought it was good but should finish at around 10 to 3 and let the atmosphere build. Just my opinion , maybe I'm in the minority but the atmosphere was non existent in the first half

In time I think the screens can be used to actually help build atmosphere. If they don’t already have it, I imagine the media crew will be able to get good footage and quality sound of the fans in good voice. They can then broadcast that in amongst the action footage. I can see that bringing the atmosphere together if it was done well, especially in full house games.

[Alex Trager]

I thought they were great. I enjoyed the wee film before kick off. I preferred back when you couldn’t hear the tannoy. I was with my teenage nephew today and he’s a mumbling wee gimp at the best of times, so gave up trying to have a conversation over the noise of them.

[emoji23]

[.Sean.]

Like them, far too loud though. Literally could not hear my dad in the seat next to me before the game! Can we also have less of the rave music and stick some oasis on, ta

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Can some detail explain the montage shown in the build up? Was it old classic games? Which ones? Or was it goals from the season so far?

Here in the States as the players come out and team is announced they put a picture or a video (player smiling/serious face while folding arms etc) and its a nice touch!

It was a bit of everything - old derby goals from the 0-7 (I think) the 6-2 game (Latapy’s goal), 0-3 game (Sauzees goal) the recent Livi game and of course the SCF with SDG’s header. That’s the ones I saw anyway.

I must admit that for me between the new PA system, the music and the big screens it was a sensory overload. It’s a bit like being on those work nights out when you get dragged into a sports bar when all you want is a quiet pint.

[DaveF]

Screens are fantastic and I thought the content was excellent. Like others have noted, we have gone from not hearing a thing in the west to having our ears blown off but it's a work in progress and it's a real positive investment in the infrastructure.

Must admit, I liked the selection of house of pain, but it had no impact as the team performance had killed the crowds enthusiasm. Played at the right time, it could be a winner.

[The Spaceman]

I think they really added to the atmosphere and match experience. The advertising is absolutely a hundred times more prominent which will generate good cash and all of the old Hibs content was superb. Loving that we are getting live replays of each home goal as well.

The advertisement is a lot better than I expected it to be.

Your eye is drawn to the TV expecting a replay only to then be met with an advert.

I can see now why these will make some serious money for the club having seen them in action.

Not being allowed to show controversial replays makes those moments prime time as everyone watches in hope of seeing it

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

I'm sure you can stand on Albion Road and see the screen at the FF end of the East Stand from outside the ground. Might save some folk £23. Maybe not great on a cauld January night right enough. 😄

[Ryan91]

A Good addition, like others have said, the sound was maybe a bit loud, but aside from that, no complaints, a decent selection of songs, be nice to know if there was a collated playlist somewhere, as there are a few that I liked the sound of, but wasn't able to identify.

Loved the variety of angles and replays of good moves/chances and goals - getting to see a replay of Scott Allan's pass for McGinn's goal on the big screens afterwards, thing of beauty that.

My Dad sits in the West and noted that even with the sun beating down on the screen in the North-East Corner, the picture was still clear and easily made out from his seat.

This. The harsh reality is certain fans need to drop this notion of the fans building the atmosphere up right be before kick off. I read it many times regarding stadium music 'turn it off 10 minutes before kicking off and let the fans signing and noise build it up for the players'. That sounds nice and all but is just out of touch with reality, especially in games vs everyone outside the Old Firm and Hearts - it just ain't going to happen, it never has. Culture, habits, societal? Who knows, but thats the way it is. I, like I'm sure the players would too, would much rather the tv on with good pumping up content right up to kick off with good music going too.

The suggestion of enhancing fan sounds via the tv/PA is a great idea also. There's 90+ minutes for the fans to sing and continue the atmosphere. These tvs and PA system are the perfect platform to set the match up!

[JXM73]

Is there any sort of GOAL graphic or anything? Think the photos on social media of goal scorers would be funny on screen too... they looked great watching stream at home...

[Helensburghhibs]

Choice of music can get the crowd going though. If you listened to ibrox today, home game v motherwell and it was pretty noisy Beefore the game. I'm no suggesting Tina Turner before anyone claims I'm a hun but it shows it can be done

[Baldy Foghorn]

Am I the only one underwhelmed with the screens?

RG said they would bring the WOW factor in, not for me, and certainly didn't enhance my match-day experience.

3 points would have given me a better experience

Not quite sure how you can't be impressed to be honest, but each to their own.

That’s a bugbear of mine. There’s plenty of hibs songs that could be played in the 5/10 minutes to kickoff that could be changed up each week so it wasn’t all the same stuff each game. It wouldn’t really change the atmosphere for your run of the mill games against Livi or St Mirren but at least it would feel more like your at ER.

So a novelty then? Remember the buzz with our scoreboard on top of the shed, didn't last that long.

Is that the scoreboard out of action now,as the screens have the score at side of them?

Perhaps we can sell it to another club that doesn't have one?

There was serious fanfare when the huns filled the corners and put the screens in.

What would be the wow factor for you in regards to match day experience?

[Since90+2]

The screens are class. Of course they'll never replace getting 3 points for enjoyment factor, but then I don't think anyone has ever suggested they would.

[Hibby70]

If we end up joint first with Hearts on same goal difference and goals scored I reckon screen size should be the next measure.

Either that or we get Akpo Sodje back (supposedly)

They have no tiers in their stands so nowhere to put it.

[Skol]

As an east stander I wish they had put them in diagonal corners which would have been better for all round viewing

As an auld git it was too noisy

Much better when you found a spot on the terracing close to the guy with the transistor radio on his shoulder !!!!

Its probably not as crass as this but the screens aren’t there for the folk that are already committed to STs each year. While they will be appreciated as a “nice to have” by current match goers I think it is all part of a package along with the wider range of catering, offering vegan stuff etc to bring new money into the club and help us expand. Whether that’s through new companies paying us for advertising space, hooking some of the kids in early or even the day-tripper/tourist.

Ron has said he thinks they will pay for themselves within a couple of years so after that it is all money that can be invested into the playing side, which can only be a positive.

While the appearance of all this stuff won’t make a difference to the attendance of people who went regularly in the first place, the club is getting ahead of the game and preparing well for the demands of a future match day experience that younger people will want imo.

[DaveF]

What's to be impressed about, seriously? Big screens....Is everyone impressed with them at Rantic?

Well we know you don't like/trust RG so I doubt anything he does will meet with your approval. Most on this thread have the opposite view and see that they are a positive, especially if they bring in more money from advertising.

[bigwheel]

What's to be impressed about, seriously? Big screens....Is everyone impressed with them at Rantic?

I’m a bit non-plussed about them…had a minor positive impact I guess for me .cosmetic really…

Perhaps it will be more interesting if the content develops . Don’t mind them, but not particularly bothered about them either .

One minor point, I’d say the scoreboard at the south stand is better for displaying time and score during the game than the thin screens at each end of the east stand ….

[CentreLine]

Is there any sort of GOAL graphic or anything? Think the photos on social media of goal scorers would be funny on screen too... they looked great watching stream at home...

Yes. Big GOAL! graphic appears up. Then a replay of the goal. Works well and will look especially good under the lights on a dark winter evening with a full stadium and a winning goal to celebrate.

[CentreLine]

Pleased to see the fears from some that people in the east would not be able to see screens were unfounded. Did anyone have issues in the east? From the west I got a great view of both screens and could even see pretty much everything on the smaller inside screens. Could also pick up the score and clock very clearly.
But agree with the pleas to get sound levels right.

[Skol]

I did like looking for the goal replay's

Didnt notice if the away goals were shown, but noted the disallowed one wasnt shown

They were not easy to see and angle not great. Better view of the internal screens but they could have done with being higher up to get a better view

Hi guys

Been following the thread quite a bit so thought I would
jump on and add a little more to try give a little bit of an insight.

A lot of good feedback here. I said earlier on in other groups earlier, it’s a whole new production from what anyone has been used to. The match day from 2.15 onwards is timed to fit with the VT’s and ran to the minute. It makes for a more structured match day. There are going to be things that people enjoy and things that people don’t the key is to strike the balance, as I know in my ten years at the club, we are never going to please everyone but we can try our best.

With regards to levels, totally agree things were quite loud first half but we quickly changed it second. Without making excuses for that, we have been working to levels on a PA system that needed to be pushed to the limit to get any form of sound full stop and now we have a system that is the complete opposite.

The content (and songs) are always going to be changed up but you will see more content from VT and less music playlists as such. I have a lot of things that I put to the club that I have wanted to try for years based on feedback on here and other forums and hopefully we will start to now be able to implement this.

It’s really important that where there is criticism it’s backed up with some suggestions so I can do what I can to help and make it as enjoyable and get as much input as a can from you all.

There is now a full production team on a match day, we have two producers up in the box, Micky Gavin from Forth on music and me hosting. That should make for an all round better delivery moving forward.

I’ll keep my eye out where I can and keep doing my bit to strike that balance. As always if anyone has suggestions or things they would like to see fire away and I’ll feed it back to production. I care about getting it right as much as a fan as I am an employee. Keep the feedback coming and thanks everyone.

I felt the same but apparently not enough room.

Whilst I'm sure it's all been measured out, I did think there may have been room over that side for a slightly smaller TV to be installed.

I did see the TV but if you're further back in the east stand it wouldn't be easy.

Glad you got sound down a few decibels as I was having a conversation I was having to shout to the people around Me before the game as it was blasting out in the west lower.The screens look great and good to see old games with goals before the game.

I had no interest in screens, didn't think they'd add anything to my day but I was wrong. I loved the build up and the atmosphere it created before KO, not so much half time which i thought wasn't great but I'm delighted with them now.

Question Barry, see when you ask for shout out from fans etc do you ever go back to acknowledge it and say I will do that? Also what I think would be useful is if you were to let these fans k is when such a shout out would be made say around xx minute. People enter at all different time and go for pies etc, I asked a few weeks ago for my wee one and didn’t even get an acknowledgment so no idea if you did it or not?

Hope that’s a moan and a suggestion at the same time 😂

[Squealing pig]

In time I think the screens can be used to actually help build atmosphere. If they don’t already have it, I imagine the media crew will be able to get good footage and quality sound of the fans in good voice. They can then broadcast that in amongst the action footage. I can see that bringing the atmosphere together if it was done well, especially in full house games.

Great idea

[stuart-farquhar]

I'd suggest having the sound at max volume in the south when playing Glasgow Aberdeen or them.

I think you do a great job Barrie, see for one ***** game though can you make the playlist the choice of one lucky fan (as we don’t all like chart music) or let Lewis Stevenson pick? Screen that big and that sound system is begging for Acquiese or Eton Rifles to get the place pumped up at ten to 3

Also any reason we announced only the surnames of the subs then full name for Scott Allan? Reeked of reading of the big tele

Ha. Funny :)

I think BF’s point is a fair one - there wasn’t much wow about them ..just because people aren’t in love with the big screens doesn’t make it an irrelevant point …

I posted earlier , I can take them or leave them..hopefully as their use and content improves , they will add more to the match day experience ..for now, it’s a bit of an improvement, but not too much . enjoyed some of the replays mind you …

They are revenue generators too. Should be more appealing to advertiser's.

Be good if the fan cam picks out the likes of you and BF scowling in disapproval in the match build up 😃

[hibsforeurope]

Copying something similar to The team announcement video montage that they use at Murrayfield for the Scotland internationals would be good. A decent uplifting tune in the background and a pre made video, for the home team, on the screen with the announcer reading the team. builds the atmosphere really well i think.

[SMAXXA]

Minor point but also reading the away team would have been better to include first names for all players.

That and a graphic for each player (top trump style or to tramp when the Jambos are in town)

Honestly looked like he was reading it from the screen

I’m just waiting for Gorgie Rules to come on here and tell us that these screens were originally ordered for Tynecastle, but then rejected because Hearts will be installing something even biglier.

[ian cruise]

Any examples of that mate i can’t picture it

When they announce the team they normally have a wee video of the players to accompany it. It's nothing groundbreaking but a good use of the screens and something younger fans who are used to watching football on Sky, etc can probably appreciate more than the older crowd (like myself) who grew up with a team being read out over the tannoy.

Don't think they do player stats on the videos but it would be good addition.

[EdinMike]

They are still in the teething phase I guess so I would hope that these suggestions can be taken forward (the quick highlight of players for the team announcement one is a cracking one) I’m sure they will evolve and change in use throughout.

[blackpoolhibs]

Easily missed since they have not specifically answered every individual comment but if you have a good look back through the thread you should find some excellent feedback from the stadium announcer. Think pretty much everything has been responded to. Think the problem might be that the thread has gone round in circles a bit with much of the constructive criticism repeated. That’s great as it indicates a strength of feeling but there is little point repeating the same answers when the subject has been thoroughly covered.
Taking that in to account the Stadium announcer seems to be doing a great job of feedback on here.

Throwback to the old east. Great touch.

[DanishJohn]

With the new Large Screens and new seats going in, the whole stadium seems to be getting the attention it most certainly deserves.

Here's a thought I have had for a while, you might agree or there again not.

When you arrive into Edinburgh by train on the east coast line you get a beautiful view of the stadium.
There are probably people on that train who are coming on holiday or business and are football fans but unaware "Hibernian" are from Edinburgh.
How many trains pass that spot per day?
What an opportunity to get the name associated with this beautiful structure.
I was thinking the lettering Hibernian FC along the roof of the East if the angles are right. They would of course have to be able to be lit up as I think in the darkness it would look superb.

Finally, (and I might be getting carried away), if you are on a flight coming into Edinburgh on the flight path that takes you out over the Forth and the up the Firth , you again get a great view of the stadium. What about a lit up large badge on the roof of the East ?

:flag:

[weecounty hibby]

Some more stadium feedback. 2 weeks in a row now the front row of FF upper has had water lying in it and its now starting to smell.

[Ryan91]

Volume in the East was a lot better prior to KO today. Having the stats so far on the screen at HT was also pretty good.

Really glad to hear that was better. We are still very much a work in progress but we that was only our second run today. I’m in at 9 to do a full match run through as if we are in live mode to ensure we get volumes etc right. The problem is, each ad provided by said sponsor/advertiser is recorded in different levels so it’s a balancing act.

There is going to be further investment in the equipment I.e mixer / microphones etc as this hasn’t been touched in years. We have had a great discussion with Ron regarding that part.

We still have a few improvements to made but really appreciate the feedback.

Rent the Scottish Rugby comments previously made with pictures of players appearing on screen, this is part of the plan but at the moment we don’t have team shots for James Scott and a few others so I would expect that to be introduced later on but it is part of the plan.

If anyone has any other questions just let us know.

Exactly right.

Maybe we could turn the volume down to 1 when reading it out, thereby ticking the correct boxes?!

On a serious point, why read it out and then let Rangers fans sing whatever they want? Double standards right there.

Either enforce it or ditch it.

[SHODAN]

On the off chance the announcer is reading the thread, I have a few suggestions!

Match stats: would love to see shots on target, off target, corners, fouls etc etc flash up from time to time. Hopefully just a matter of copying off the BBC?
To that end, stick the scorer names below the score as well, ala at Hampden.
Live score updates: I get that advertisers will have paid for in-game slots but I would really like to see some sort of ticker - on the bottom of the screen, or maybe even half? - showing us updates from the other Scottish games (not just the Premiership!)
Half-time scores - this has been a personal gripe of mine for years now even before the screens were installed. PLEASE show us the Scottish Championship, League One, Two scores. I honestly care about them more than that Crystal Palace are drawing 0-0 with Burnley or whatever. By all means show the EPL scores too, but c'mon, this is Scotland, show our results! Would also like to see the scores for longer than half a minute before ads come back on, but again, appreciate people have likely paid good money and you need to recoup the investment.

Fifa rules state that stadium clocks must stop at 45 and 90 minutes

You are right, the big screens are always in your peripheral vision, although I don’t find them a distraction. Having said that, I am about to contradict myself, I did find myself looking to see if there was a delay and was surprised to find they were almost bang on real time. I like them and hope the beam back next week is a massive success. Can’t make that one but I will take advantage of others in future.

[Carheenlea]

Because the footage is not close up I didn’t find the screens a distraction from the West. Was enjoying celebrating Boyles penalty so missed the replay of that as well.

I’m not sure how enjoyable the beamback on Sunday will be as I found it hard to see what was going on with the standard camera positions when I did take a look at the screen.

The gap between the two stands is larger in the south after we removed a couple of rows of seats to increase the size of the pitch a few years back. The screens are, understandably, the same size but the gap is bigger. The “black line” is the framework that fills that gap.
Could probably do with bit of tidying up but it’s functional and necessary.

You get a pretty decent view of the screens from FF Lower, at least where I sit in section 16, which is the furthest away from the screen.

There might well be a problem seeing them in the extreme end seats of sections 20 and 25, though.

[BegbieHSC]

The big screens are an outstanding addition, and really do improve the experience. The count down to kick off, and video montages were excellent, and the way line ups, replays and statistics are displayed give Easter Road an elite feel.

Ultimately, they do make us money as well - good money, which is a great thing. Most of the video adverts were grand, and didn’t upset the tone (Uber Eats, Terry Healy, Eden Mill) but that Carabao one with the daft wee voices down the tannoys was chronic 😂😂.

I really like the screens but it irked me a bit that the ref was obviously told to hold off kick off for the countdown thing. Just start the game!

Where’s the fun in that? Counting down the last few seconds after the game had started would make no sense at all. Good wee addition

[FitbaFolkKen]

I thought the screens look great, however I found it a bit frustrating that when something happened on the pitch, for instance Allan going down in the box, where you were not sure if it was or wasn't a pen that the screens had an advert up instead of a replay of the incident. I would guess there is a reason for that but I found it a bit annoying.

Minor gripe on a massively positive thing for the stadium.

Is it that, or is it the ref waiting until exactly 3pm?

The screen got to zero, the ref blew his whistle, and my watch ticked over from 2:59 to 3:00 all at the same time.

Chill out pal. Its all part of the match day experience Big Ronny style 😎

[Tambo]

First time seeing them in the flesh and I enjoyed them. Nice to see a replay of a chance like the Scott Allan lob attempt to see if it was as close as you think sitting in the front row.

Some nice old game footage and I'm sure it will only improve.

Fitba folk ken.

Very good [emoji106]

Did think there would be a reason they couldn’t show replays but thought I would have. Amina anyway [emoji23]

Game kicks off at 3pm regardless if the screen's there or not. If it wasn't there, the ref would still wait until then, you just probably wouldn't notice

[O'Rourke3]

Although weirdly yesterday he blew for FT at about 94:45, at least according to the TV clock.I always run a stop watch at the start of the second half. Not sure it was 15 seconds do but he did blow early. But there was no danger of an equaliser when he did blow.

I might be in the minority with this but the position of the screens for me is pretty disappointing. Sitting in the east, fairly central, the screens are not well positioned, even the smaller screens are a neck twister to see and not high enough, it’s frustrating that away fans will have a better view than me and many others seated centrally in the east.

IMO they should have been positioned diagonally opposite or either side of the away stand..

Gap between the West and South is required for emergency vehicle access, and even if it wasn't needed for that, there would need to have been a new support structure put in place, which would also likely require planning permission. Gap between the West and North is probably too small for a screen of decent size and is also used for the TV studio when TV games are at ER, so probably wouldn't be allowed to fit one there either, plus access to that section would be rather difficult.

I think it could be feasible though, the screen could be high enough for vehicular access underneath it, and a screen size adjustment for the other side.

In this day and age, these are minor engineering tasks and I’d love to see the east screens duplicated in the west stand, that would look pretty awesome IMHO.

Can anybody elaborate on why they can’t show contentious decisions.

As I was down other end on Sunday,had to wait until I got home and sit through the tedious Sportscene to see exactly what happened concerning the penalty.

IIRC at the previous game they didn’t show how the St Mirren goals came about.

Puzzling.

There’s some common sense ones, first of all the pressure it puts on referees - if they see a mistake would they feel compelled to correct it, despite VAR not having a process in place in Scotland?

Would then lead to potentially Hibs only showing replays when it suits (i.e. our penalty claims but not the opponents, or every decision we feel aggrieved by).

So we can't see replays as it may show that the refs are eithet incompetent or bent.

We see the same down south with Martin Atkinson that clearly shouldn't be allowed to ref a Manchester United game.

But it's not for some Hibs TV guy or whatever to decide the rights and wrongs on the spot. It's far safer and less complicated to simply avoid replays of tight or controversial decisions.

We've managed fine without replays at matches up until now.

No game highlights unfortunately, also no stats or team lineups. Obv the data wasn’t available for them. But they were hardly used due to that. Just showing the Hibs badge for most of the game.

I noticed after 7 minutes that the clock at that end went a bit wonky. It started moving on 10 seconds at a time then went back to normal. It then counted backwards for a few seconds before going back to normal.

It might’ve been better if it had gone gone straight to 90 minutes.

[mutley]

I noticed that, a black square at the top. Also the smaller screen inside the stand at the FF end had some dodgy wrong coloured pixels in it ! Hopefully just a glitch

Now the dull days are here, talking about daylight rather than football standard, the screen annoy me. Sitting in the west they are often the brightest part of your field of view. That makes your eye automatically be drawn to them or they are a distraction. Wish they would switch then off during the game if they aren't going to show the play

The screens show the game but the feed is cut by timed adverts, like every minute or so.

Some replays are shown of chances or the Hibs goals but the timed adverts still kick in and cut off the replays. It should be that the replays take priority over the advert.

The need to see a replay is exactly the time for an advert. These screens aren’t there to allow us to watch the game, they’re there to make money.
