Dragon_man Posted 16 June, 2022 Posted 16 June, 2022 Did I hear we are getting nice new big shiny ones this summer? Anyone know anything?
S-Clarke Posted 16 June, 2022 Posted 16 June, 2022 (edited) We were supposed to have them last summer, and then in the first international break, and then in the second international break. And then nothing. The reason for the delay I believe is that the screens which were ordered required more substational structural support on the stadium roof than it can currently support, or something along those lines. It's possible that they've had to wait for an unused period of the year to do something like that. Edited 16 June, 2022 by S-Clarke

Travelling Saint Posted 16 June, 2022 Posted 16 June, 2022 They'll still just show tons of ads rather than the actual match like they used to. 1
Whitey Grandad Posted 18 June, 2022 Posted 18 June, 2022 The pandemic has delayed all sorts of stuff from China.
Mowgli Posted 7 July, 2022 Posted 7 July, 2022 Looking at the Euros game from St Mary’s…. Still no new screens then!

Expand Don’t think there’s a love in, we were just told we were getting them last season. If I remember right, the roof can’t take the weight so unless we are having the roof renovated, I doubt we will be getting them anytime soon. So we can add roof issues and screens to the list of updates the stadium needs. Personally I would just be happy with a lick of paint and a wash down. 1
Saint Garrett Posted 7 July, 2022 Posted 7 July, 2022 Mad they haven’t been done. Meant to be last November, the current ones are shite. Biggest issue is the adverts but unfortunately I don’t see that changing with new ones!

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 8 July, 2022 Posted 8 July, 2022 I think they're going to be done Nov/Dec this year whilst the World Cup is on.

Expand Good shout actually, but that's prob weather dependent and that time of the year is unpredictable. I did assume this summer would be the gap they took, but I did forget we were hosting a few Euro games...! Not sure we'd have enough time.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 8 July, 2022 Posted 8 July, 2022 Part of it is that there's some structural stuff they need to do to the roof for the new screens and they need some form of crane to lean over from the outside of the stadium to allow them to do this + install the screens. With the Euros this summer, there wasn't the time to do this but the break for the World Cup does give enough time. For once, IKT is ITK(ish)...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 8 July, 2022 Posted 8 July, 2022 The update from the club is a bit out of date then if IKT is ITK. Personally my eyes rarely make it to the big screen unless something controversial happens.
suewhistle Posted 8 July, 2022 Posted 8 July, 2022 Last night there appeared to be smaller screens superimposed on the wider existing screens, so maybe they were temporary? As for the PA in the Kingsland, it was appalling; is it normally as bad?

suewhistle Posted 19 July, 2022 Posted 19 July, 2022 Ah yes, could be. Either way as useless as ever.

Around the ground they had covered any hint of it being Saints' stadium and replaced it with Uefa branding. Even the red and white perspex at the back was covered up! Hard to see when the work can be done to the stadium to refresh it and add the structure for new screens. Season is coming up soon, and there are still constant corporate events in the ground year round!
