Scoreboard and lack of information

[The Underdog]

Re: Scoreboard and lack of information

The timeclock is too small. I was sitting pretty much opposite the scoreboard at the other end of the ground (next to the other scoreboard) and I couldnt tell how much time had elapsed. I had to resort to setting the stopwatch on my mobile phone.

The scoreboards at ES are too small generally.
In general I find the information lacking on them, although not sure if anything has changed this year. It's a bugbear of mine that no incident at AFL game's that is even slightly controversial is replayed.

I text/ring friends I know are watching on Foxtel asking them how long there is to go.

I can see it fine.

Re: Scoreboard and lack of information

Hate the idea of a countdown clock. I berate anybody who yells out “30 seconds to go”, it ruins the suspense. You're 5 points up, not knowing if you have 5 minutes or 2 seconds left. It's what I come to the game live for.

I think any of the innovations you mention can be achieved on TV. Like west dog, I come to the game to just see the game, raw and sans-McAvaney.

Sorry? Speak up-you're mumbling like all the other young people do...

Re: Scoreboard and lack of information

Just on the scoreboard at Etihad. I noticed on Saturday that the jumper graphic they use next to our players names when displaying the stats is actually the robo-dog version. It's not too much to ask the stadium to update their IT files is it?

Or as second class citizens at this venue do we just have to accept it?
