In all fairness to the fellar though, it will probably cost more in actual money for the screen than it would to put a roof up.



And when we talk about payback, where is the payback on this screen? It's great for supporters yes, but is it actually really really needed?



Of course that is working on it been straightforward, which you have quite rightly pointed out it is not. In that we would be unlikely to get planning permission to put up the roof, and other logistical problems.

I don't know how much cinemas charge to show adverts before films come on, but I would imagine there is some money to be made charging for advertising space on a giant screen that is going to be seen by 15,000 people once a fortnight.

This is like banging some 19 inch rims and tyres and a five grand paint job on a Lada Riva

and im sure it will be used to screen other events too

Agreed.

Enjoy rattling around your three-quarter empty soulless plastic "village", playing meaningless fixtures in a nothing league Starbug.

Quite right , you lot get signed up to your membership scheme , so Gary can have a pay rise

Quite right,



Its like when you go out and buy your kids a Wii for christmas (or whatever that years "must have" is) and all they do on christmas day is moan at you because you got the white one instead of the black one - line up for a slap around the back of the head and and early bedtime everyone.

How much do you think this screen is costing mate?????



I think a cool £5m would do a good job on re-developing the Western Terrace to include a roof, you might get it down as low as £3.5m to £4m at a push possibly!



I have no idea how much one of these screens cost but I bet it is maybe £500k fully installed? Big difference in cost!

We could always get a used one!



Gotcha - Give em a call and ask how much they cost?

I think your £500k is probably realistic, although as usual there will no doubt be add ons. I still can't see where the payback would be though.



On the roof. Come on your an architect aint you? You could put a roof on that size area for less than £100k if you are just talking materials and labour. It wouldn't look pretty I agree, but it is do able. The southstand roof only costed double that. I wasn't talking about the whole redevelopment of the stand, I was talking about the roof only, which is what the original poster (although trolling) was having the dig at.



Like I said if you are talking about actual logistics for it then the cost would go up much more, which is what you quite rightly pointed out previously.

How many pairs of 3D glasses would we need to order?
