Digital Stadium Boards Next season

[benn5712]

Would rather the commercial dept focused their efforts on improving the 'refreshments' on offer and the service that administers that refreshment....

Some fancy advertising hoardings or decent beer/lager on draft served by people who know what they're doing?

And get that bloke in the first picture a suit wot fits im, innit.

 

[Brian Blessed]

Wednesday mate sits on their Kop and says sometimes you can't even see where the ball is in the other goalmouth because of the brightness of the boards behind it.

 

[Worksop II]

It benefits the club somewhere worksop

It benefits someone somehow, but I'm gonna file it under undisclosed & a bit meh

 

[super_pig]

The Frankfurt School that super_pig is always on about

always?? ..'some' people have very strange logic..actually i can't decide whether it is deliberate or not.. sometimes i think that 'has' to be deliberate..

“Technological rationality,” pigster, and the laws of motion of capital

"The system will create an exciting advertising platform for the Club, its partners and add to the fans' matchday experience."

How exactly? You modern football cuntwaffles.

"Well I must say, this 0-3 home defeat would be really painful had it not been for these LED lights adding to my customer experience"

yeah ..'well we got well and truly hammered today but fucking hell . that customer experience man'..

This is the thing that always pisses me off most about “marketing” / advertsingthink. Barely concealed beneath the surface of this kind of bollocks is the patronising assumption that we’re all so stupid, and that our lives are so empty, that we are all automatically enriched by gormless messaging about shit commodities that we neither want nor need. The Frankfurt School that super_pig is always on about, would describe it as the ultimate signifier of our degraded, “one dimensional” consumer culture.

Best way to “improve the match day experience” (other than by providing proper beer at affordable prices, and cutting the volume on Gaz) would be to eliminate the advertising and corporate crap entirely.

IMO. Naturally.

I'm sorry I can only give this one like.

You are so right. Fucking marketing and advertising. A phenomenon that gives us the likes of those two gormless birds and their organ. I'd rather place my fucking money with the Pikeys that have taken up camp near work than fucking Nationwide.

Fast food that looks nothing like what you actually get when you buy some. McDonalds "Monopoly", there's more chance of landing on the fucking moon than winning anything useful with that.

Sorry, I'm on one tonight. One too many cunts to deal with today, like Buckaroo with twats.

Friday night, Crabster. Tune in, turn on, and enjoy Colin being schooled by Wolves (as Timothy Leary almost once said, back in ‘68).

Wishing you a twat-free weekend

 

[Ricky]

Can't wait to see Maggie May's adverts from every angle for 90 minutes...

I'll be alright in a bit Shockers. Just fed up, our department really stretched at work, I'm working through my dinner just to keep the cart on the wheels. My team have been awesome (except for one who has thrown me under the bus) but the wider business don't give a fuck. Fucking twats barely out of their teens thinking they know everything and can treat people how they want, with fucking impunity. Well you know what, this fucking Dog bites back.

Then I go and get a Burger for tea, and as seems to be growingly usual, they are as useful as a fucking cock flavoured lollipop. Again, "managers" who are fucking younger than most of the shirts I own.

Ah well, that's better

Pretty much the first time I've laughed today. Cheers George

All sounds very familiar, old son. I think it’s endemic in our national work culture, tbh, public and private sectors both.

Still, home time soon. The young twats will get found out sooner rather than later, the managerial twats will retire grey and unfulfilled, the one who threw you under the bus will get what karma brings, and the good ‘uns will stay good, and will keep on making it just about worthwhile, right ?

The burgers, on the other hand, will still be shit.

Up the Wolves.

That's the worst thing Shockers. It's the same in most workplaces, so getting another job could well be just moving the problem.

The good 'uns are what it's all about, not just at work but in life. All I can do is to try and be a good 'un myself. Fuck all I can do about anyone else.

Saw this & thought of Maggie May adverts!

I don't smoke (can't stand the smell of weed either) but a snifter or four sounds good.

I'm fine Shockers, just get fucked off at the world from time to time.

Great rant. Carts, busses, dogs and cocks - who says you can't mix metaphors?

I'd like to think that what it lacked in subtlety it made up for in entertainment value

 

[Hamburg Blade]

Don't like em. LED boards will enhance the fans' matchday experience in the same way that Gary Sinclair's delicate DJ-ing makes the match more romantic.

It certainly did.
Btw, probably time to buy some new shirts. Or just wear a T-shirt with "fuck off" printed on the front.

Sadly, now I'm "management" the shirt and tie is the only game in town. Not all bad news though, I hope to master this facial expression next time I experience twatism at work .................

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Lot of moaning about a bit of wording.

I find them a bit distracting but overall I’m in favour. They’ll give the stadium a more upto date look. We must be one of very few clubs in the top two divisions without them.

As for the boards at The Swill being too bright and the ball being difficult to see, they were probably done on the cheap and without proper planning like their ‘’desso’.

Just thought it would make me sound a bit less like Eeyore if I said that rather than "nearly all the time" which is nearer the truth

The same company that did Wednesdays are supplying our boards.

I agree. Watch the old football footage from the 60s, 70s, 80s and I doubt if any of the 'brands' are still around - Stylo Matchmakers, Rael Brook Shirts, Esso Blue etc. It's more about vanity than marketing. Oh sure the Mad Men would argue that 'if people are talking about it, it's worked'. Wrong. People are talking about those gormless bints on the Nationwide and they're saying 'I'd never use that fucking intellingence-insulting company. 'Clever' marketing' did for Benetton.

Still, it's the future, we must move with the times and I think it's a sign of where the club is heading. (Seen the perimter advertising on Goal Rush?) and I agree with this latest move. But the hypocrisy is staggering. United were stopped from wearing their iconic fluorescent yellow kit because 'the referee might confuse it with the linesman's flag'. Now we have these 'moving pictures'.
