    I’d be surprised if it could be done Dave tbh . Look what it’s like in a pub when trying to get on , imagine 15,000 trying to connect?

    60,000 do it fine at Etihad every week Kev. They even put up interactive quizzes for the fans they put up on the scoreboard to kill the pre match boredom and everyone taps in.

    if the club genuinely wanted to offer it to fans, 15k fans wouldn’t be a problem.

    i suspect they just arent willing to pay whats needed to support it sufficiently!

    Tbf, how can one bloke in a stand really test it against the back drop of a game?

    on a match day is the best way even if we’ve had the pain last few games while they refine it. At least the clubs listened now if theyve promised to dim them.

    Christ is that were football has gone? I know its the modern day world but jeez the world of football at places like the Etihad and the Emirates is so sanitised its like watching a crowd at the Alhambra.

    It shouldn’t have been too difficult get a bunch of players to simulate a game in the penalty box while someone sat in the stands to check that they could see the action clearly. That’s surely all that was required. It would quickly have become obvious that the hoarding was too bright and was impeding the view of the action.

    BtW, where does it say that they have promised to dim them? I hope you’re correct, but there’s nothing about this that I can see on the club website or the app.

    Perhaps you are correct. The fact that there are over 200 posts on this thread, with the vast majority finding it an issue which impacted on their visit to Valley Parade, then perhaps a little acknowledgement to the supporters may not go amiss.

    Basic customer curtesy, only costs a little.

    @CrosbyBantam@CrosbyBantam wrote a short piece.

    A similar offering, again they can cut and paste (although my usual consultancy fees are £100 guineas per hour!).

    This will be cast in the young chatty, engaging style, it can be edited to meet the ‘angle’ the club wants to give to it!

    Hello Bantam Fans. Many of you will have noticed the stunning new digital advertising boards, located at the front of the TL Dallas Stand*. This great new facility will certainly add to your match day experience. We ‘at the Bantams’, know you will be informed and enjoy the ‘cutting edge experience’. We aim to bring you information to improve your life and inform you of products and services, we know you will be interested in.

We hope you are happy with our efforts and appreciate, that we truly value your continued support. Once again enjoy our great new, match day enhancing experience!

    Notice the neat plug for one our longstanding ‘partners’.

    Perhaps a little gushy, but I can do toned down versions!

    I imagine they won't want to shout about it for fear of losing /putting off businesses that are paying for the privilege of having their names in bright lights.
    They've toned it down, let's see how much of a difference it's made tomorrow and if there's a noticeable improvement, jobs a good 'un and just move on.

    Thanks BL , I didn’t know that …..Yes I suppose if one invests gigantic sums then yes clearly it’s possible.

    I don't know where others have got the information from but I saw a post on Linkedin from Davide Longo and someone asked him about the boards, he said that they had turned the boards down to 5% brightness.

    There are several of us on here who have BRSK as our internet provider, I left Virgin as they were asking £54 per month for 150Mbps I got a deal a year last October with BRSK and they are charging me £23 per month for 500Mbps and its a very strong signal, anyone thinking of joining BRSK if its in your area pm me and if I recommend you we both get £50 Amazon voucher, so far I've found them a very good service.
