Agree, as I've said before, in the North Stand, the nearer you get to the Donny Road turnstiles the less you see of the screen.

From where we were standing on Sunday we didn't even know the screen was acting as the scoreboard as it appeared to be blank from what we could see. I kept having to ask the grandson what the score was!

South West Corner would 100% make more sense.

Also it would make loads more sense to have another 'clock'. The one on the gantry on the western terrace is pretty useless. One in the east above the hospitality would be good

I wonder how people knew the score when the old score board was there? It's in exactly the same place.

I don’t know. I’m of the opinion it should stay in north west.

I feel like when the west is re-developed that there’s a lot of space in that south west that could be used to perhaps build something like a gym or some other facility. If you move the screen there then you lose a fair amount of that space.

It’s not as simple as that though. It depends on many factors which are future plans and accessibility etc etc

It is a good point that the screen can't be seen from much of north stand but I'm not sure it will be better at the opposite end of the field.
I'd leave it there, maybe change the angle.
Second screen would be good if we have it standing around but south east as already said, is valuable space.

Unbelievable how the ground/facilities are going to look in the next few seasons , we’ve only had a taster so far as to what is to come .Tight lips n all that ,but boy are us long suffering fans in for a treat

It was South West that was mentioned.
If they could move it a bit towards the catering facilities on the West, then you could see it beeter from the North, that would be better.

Maybe better for you but maybe not better for future planning.

When it comes down to it Ellis will decide and likely have its position decided on after planning and consultation for all considerations relating to fans, viewing, access, health and safety, power supply, future planning and space etc.

I meant South West. My mistake.

what about when the north is redeveloped? the north west corners isn't going to be left alone, I'd guess and the north would maybe stretch (with a roof to cover that area)
