Morning all (extendable tunnel)

Laido · Nov 26, 2019

Morning lads/lasses, just a quick question.
Am I right in thinking that there is to be an extendable tunnel from the dressing rooms..Think I read it somewhere but wasn't 100% sure.

BTW feel free to merge/delete this post if its been covered elsewhere

Jon Back said he was negotiating with GLE for them to supply one, heard nothing since.

I would imagine there will be one though.

Saying that I always thought there was going to be a scoreboard, but I'm not so sure now.

I always understood the point of having thye tunnel was to ensure that when the teams emerge from the dressing rooms they would be a) nearer the home fans that the away fans and b) visible to the home fans before they could be seen by the away fans.

I know which one the vast majority of fans would prefer! It just seems so odd (not to mention such a pity) to not have a scoreboard installed after all the updating HP has seen recently. :thumbdown:

From what I've heard from various sources it's down to where it can be sited.

Where could it be seen by all?

How do other clubs manage?

That must only mean the grandstand then ? Surely on top of the safety but could be seen by most ? Or on top of the changing rooms roof ?

'Only'?? That's a major part of the ground.

A small one on both the BPE and Devonport ends?

Or if can only have one, the BPE as more home fans can see it.

I dread to think how much money would be wasted on a scoreboard

Guiri Green · Nov 26, 2019

The tunnel is a nicety but it would be a bit of a stretch, so there's a need to be flexible.

Any modern sports stadium will have these and we should be no different.

Rather than just being a basic scoreboard it should be an information board. It would also offer the possibility of generating additional income through advertising.

However, I would rather Argyle wait until we can afford decent boards rather put up something on the cheap which doesnt actually add to the overall impression of Home Park.

If they can't afford a full size scoreboard i dont see why they cant get the electronic advertising boards around the pitch and display it this way (check my thread) it would look nice and modern too, ive seen this alot in other grounds

Electronic boards only really earn anything if they're regularly on TV. I don't think the highlights on Quest would really entice the sponsors in.

Do many other L2 (or L1) clubs have electronic ad boards?

Yeah ive seen quite a few on quest football league show leagues 1 and 2!!
