You make a good point that I hadn't related to on advertising. But you have gone way overboard with the millions and millions.



If you are a sponsor to advertise it is not expensive to have a board around the ground has it stands, which would also be viewable by three stands of the ground. But agreed the screen advertising would be an addition to this.



But would an advertiser prefer a constant view for three stands or a constantly changing shared view with other advertisers on the screen?



There certainly won't be big money on the advertising on the screen, unless it's a fixed sponsor for the screen.



Your other idea of showing something on it that entices supporters earlier is a good point though. Not sure they will get there much earlier for Friday night matches though, but it is still a good point that could give additional benefits.



I doubt very much though that attendances would rise as a result of having the screen. It would take more than that to entice people to a game, and its the quality on the field that gives that.

Look at Leeds Utd's screen, goes through alot of adverts before kick off. I'd presume ours will do the same. It could be part of the shirt/stadium sponsorship deals but i bet the screen could easily bring it what it cost within 3seasons.

Sorry mate, it reads wrong. I didn't mean that LEEDS could make millions and millions. I just mean that in general there are millions and millions to be made in advertising. Facebook is case in point which has made BILLIONS purely on advertising.



Leeds would only be hoping for a tiny share of the worlds advertising revenue, but still... with the sort of foot fall and eyes on the screen they'll be talking about (into 10's of thousands), there is certainly money to be made. I certainly think you'll be looking into the thousands per annum, which is not to be sniffed at to say the screens primary function is to please the fans.

I literally wept tears of unfettered joy when it was announced a permanent big screen was to be erected in order to enhance and enlighten our very match day experience and collective existential being. Mere words will always fail to express my unquestioning devotion and servile belief in our great patron and leader who has yet again fulfilled another of his most gracious promises to all his subjects and to improve their quality of life. He is truly a despot of the most enlightened kind.

0/10. Dreary, unimaginative, predictable & unfunny.



We're having a serious discussion here so do as all a favour and go sit with your head down a toilet and stop being a Jeremy Hunt (first chance I've had to use that since Monday! Result!).

Remarkable Rhinos, you win believest chump of the year



Big screen, meh

They have one at Hull already and sky still bring their own, if sky were to use it then we would lose the use of it for other purposes so I suspect it will be two screens side by side?

Firstly... what? I know you use my name but is that supposed to be directed at me?? I've never mentioned Sky?



Secondly.... Believest isn't a word and even if it was I don't understand the context you've used it in here?



Thirdly... Why am I a chump? Because I believe there's money to be made by having a screen? The alternative is there's absolutely no financial gain or revenue generated at all by the club by installing one, and Uncle Gary has just decided to spend 10s of thousands on a screen purely to keep us happy for Christmas. I'm sure that's the MUCH more likely justification.

ah well its not like pudsa t sparrer's do't fly backard's tha knows

Future human history shall bear remarkable testament to the supreme influential role played by the greatest and most remarkable Big Screen ever to be erected. Millions upon millions of Believists from all over the world shall trek thousands of miles to ascend upon the sacred steps of the terrace of the west in bare-feet to pay homage to Headingley and consult the very same Big Screen seeking consultation and divine wisdom. Some shall seek consultation on complex matters such as the divine meaning of life itself. Others shall seek consultation on simpler matters such as 'Does a Rhinos-4-Life membership entitle me to 10% off the latest shirt?'. Temples and shrines to Sinny, Mags and Keef shall be erected alongside in due course as Rhinos-4-Life worshippers fawn at the feet of a remarkable Great Leader and his gifted legacy. Rituals shall be performed; sacrifices shall be made. It shall become a remarkable world centre of religious fervour, commerce, banking and corporate hospitality.

And amongst all this there will be the sight of one lonely, sad knacker who goes around the back and just stands there counting the clouds.

Why? Why bother?









No really....



Why?

He is just hilarious, I don't know where he gets it from.
