snakehips 0 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 ..at SJP (or Direct Sports @ St James' Park) according to Dekka L on .com. I'm just a tad disappointed I wont get to see it. Oh well, it'll be even tougher to stay away if they do get one, but I'll just have to take the extra hardship like a man. btw, that's a Jumbo Screen, not a Jimbo Screen. I don't think there will be any porn on it, though one never knows due to the revenue opportunities. Tonight, for one night only: Debbie Does Direct Sports @ St James' Park.

MattM4 0 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Only possibility is above the Gallowgate, where the Sportsdirect logo is now... but there could only be one, so almost half the stadium wouldn't be able to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13836 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 You could possibly put one on the windows of the Leazes or Milburn but I'm not sure how they would angle it. Personally I don't see the appeal anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 full of shit, I thought every penny was going to be spent on players? A giant screen showing Sports Direct adverts in between long lingering shots of the fat man will surely be enough to put most people off a half time pie.

Ketsbaia 0 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 They've clearly sat down and thought "How can we make even more money out of this stadium renaming business? How about we spent the cash we initially receive on a bloody big screen where we can charge extra for adverts? Genius!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13836 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I wouldn't complain if they were to make money out of a big screen, that's beneficial to some fans, not an insult and a different thing all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyff 0 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) I immediately got the idea of it playing Ashley propaganda when I read the thread. If I had the external mouse then I would knock up a Photoshop of what Ashley propaganda might look like, but then again I have a long birthday-day ahead with nothing in particular to do!

Isegrim 8870 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 One thing I used to like when going to SJP was the lack of video screens. I find them absolutely awful. What are they good for? To show the score? Er, appart from those suffering of Alzheimer's anyone not knowing the actual score of a game shouldn't be in the stadium anyway. Team sheets etc. are also not really worth it. But especially with the new technology all those screens bring is causing eye pain by showing annoying blinking adverts all the time. For example here in Stuttgart they had them hanging just behind the goals so you hardly could focus on what is happening without getting distracted by the latest offers from insurance companies etc. Absolutely horrible idea.

Guest alex Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I actually think the ones with the time on in the corners have been a canny addition but other than that I agree with the Wolfman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 They'll probably move loads of us in one of the corners out of seats and put one there. Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
