Naw cannae wait
Slo mo action replays of Big Portos tackles Scotty’s through balls Rocky’s spectacular saves and wall to wall HIBS goals
Hoping they release some images ASAP of what we can expect from the big screen and lighting etc. How sad is that :greengrin
All this talk of screens has me hankering for the days of the coo shed and that wonderfully rubbish scoreboard of yesteryear.....
Hearts’ BBC documentary will look superb on it.
Can a screen show footage from a game whilst it is ongoing? Something at the back of my mind says it can't.
Yes but did that not involve some forward thinking clever marketing - to know for sure the teams at letter A that were 2-2 at half time did you not have to buy a program? I’m all nostalgic about but not hankering for the good old days of waiting for a pink paper van outside the newsagent on a Saturday night to read reports and scores or standing outside the window of the tv shop to see the scores flash across the teleprinter on screen. :greengrinQuote:

They can show live, but then if the feed source goes to a replay, they tend to stick a logo over the screen instead. Stops unintended VAR essentially.Quote:

My laddie went to Bayern they were showing goals from other live League games that were ongoing and highlights from the Stadium offsides VAR issues as they happened all whilst enjoying a watered down pintQuote:

Surely what's going on the big screen is more important? My concerns around the plans is - you need to have spaces to put additional advertisements on etc. but without the desire for companies to get involved we could end up with redundant tech. I dont think this will happen especially if we push for it as companies tend to want to get their names everywhere and in front of 13k+ people every couple of weeks is a decent prospect. Television is still what holds us back though, you need your stadium to be reaching more people.
I'm still excited about all these plans but time will tell whether they become reality, and a positive reality at that.
Reckon this means the TV cameras for filming at our games will go back to being in the East stand looking onto the West if that's where the digital ribbons will be for maximum coverage? Assuming theyll just be going between the two tiers which obviously isnt an option in the EastQuote:

Did ron say screen or screens I'm hoping 2 screens at least so all fans can see them

Most of the state of the art English stadia, screens, beer, et al, are soulless bunkers with less atmosphere than the moon.
However, I do get that I'll be in a minority and probably rightly so.
I wouldn't have given the away fans those bloody waterproof ponchos either.
Used to love reading the HIBS line up in the reserve league:Quote:

Reading show the game while it's ongoing but with a few seconds delay. They also show replays of goals and other incidents so it all works rather wellQuote:

I don't consider myself a Reading fan but I can't deny that got my juices flowing for the game ahead.
This is what the screen looks like in a stadium that's a similar size to ER.

If it goes in the SE corner will folk sitting in the East see it ok? I'd have thought having it "square on" to the pitch in the South stand would afford a better viewing angle - maybe at the side of the S Stand right next to the SE corner. Loss of "away" seats yes, but how many, and for how many matches is that stand full? (Esp as we'll not be playing Queen Anne's lot next season.)
Can we place it so Celtic fans have trouble seeing past it please. Sort of poetic justice. :na na:Quote:

Unless you know the answer to both of them I don’t think we can know if it’s a total waste of money at this stage.
Replays of Sir David Gray's winner at Hampden to be shown throughout half time when we play The Rangers.Quote:

Does anyone really want to be sitting watching a screen during the game? Unless you're 6 and bored playing with an ipad or the likes.
Team line ups displayed on it pre match and what else?
Not against it at all as they've obviously done the sums but I personally dont see how this makes going to a game any better.
Advertising? Half time scores from other games? Highlights from previous games? Famous moments Vs old firm/hearts when we play them? It will be a nice addition.Quote:

So plenty of pictures of Hibs players but none of them actually scoring a goal.
It’s also going to have one of those levers/stand that push it out from the base and angle it towards certain bit of the ground. Like some people have at home but a bit bigger.

Be great for the Happy Hibbie Half Time Draw - live on big screen, digital clarity sound and fancy disco lighting for a bit of fanfare.
Probably still won’t be enough to stop the weekly “anyone catch the numbers?” thread.
Let’s hope it’s far away enough for the huns or hearts not to vandalise it when they come to town.Quote:

competitions or entertainment with the fans, kiss-cams or putting the cameras on kids in the stands and offer a prize for the best dancer.
Videos of our mascot doing daft, entertaining stuff or pulling pranks like you see with NBA and NFL mascots.
Team line ups and substitutions with pictures or GIFS of the players involved in which dafties like Boyle will be doing something funny

If it does get damaged, cut away fans allocation to move them away from the screen and bill then for itQuote:

All other things people have suggested it could show are all available on your handheld smart phone. Advertising you say. If it brings money in that will make it pay for itself then fair enough. Otherwise it offers no real justifiable value.
It's not about paying for itself, it's about paying for itself and paying for players.Quote:

Be good for the kids, my dad would be less pleased!
I’ve been to a lot of baseball games in the States, the big screens can be great, particularly in baseball where there are lots of breaks in play.
However, i’m quite surprised that not so long ago many people got bent out of shape at the thought of spending £1 million on a full size indoor pitch at East Mains, yet this seems to have great support.
I get that it might generate some additional advertising revenues, but even so.....
How much will the screen cost? What's the operating outlay?Quote:

Adding a screen and the digital ribbons may not be your first choice, but they aren't going to detract from the current atmosphere.Quote:

Who knows the combo of the big screen and smart phones might be a powerful one... man of the match? make it interactive. Hook people on to the screen and give then competition/promo codes vouchers into their Apple wallet to use at partners sites/stores.
