Haha.

There are '4 of them', but not at your £50k... That ad is for a screen roughly 5m x 3m

The four FanZone screens, in total are around 78m x 3m.

I sell these things as part of the equipment my company installs. We actually use the same manufacturer as the two screens inside the Amex.
We installed one last year, 9m x 5m, that cost the customer £215k, exclusive of installation.

At that rate, if I were pricing the FanZone ones, its between £1.0m and £1.1m (though ours are higher spec than the Chinese ones the club are putting in, and I'm pretty confident they won't be including a ten year warranty like we will).
Wow that’s incredible! I just copy and pasted the model number from the planning application into Google, thank you for the correction!

Guess Baleba is off then! :lol:

I didn't realise you'd actually looked up the specific model. Right, so you're looking at 16 x the display area of the one priced at $63,285.00 in the ad you found.

So $1,012,560.00, which is £797,000.00 at today's USD rate.

Unless they have got a great deal, will almost certainly top £1m once you add in shipping, installation and AV control systems.

Here's the business case:

£1.0m spend.

If 20,000 people see the screens, on 20 matchdays per season, for the (nominal 10 year) life of the screens, that works out as 25p per advertising pitch / marketing opportunity...

Summary: everything is costed, and we don't have to sell Baleba. (yet)

So you’re confirming Pedro is off :(

The dull part of the south coast
I’ve been looking at the images of the fan zone and am trying to work out if the sides will be totally or partially enclosed. If it’s the latter it could get very draughty and f-f-freezing in winter. If someone has alluded to this in the past 45 pages, apologies, I must have missed it. Cheers. :thumbsup:

With the amount of screens going in there'll be enough heat to warm Falmer.

IIRC the sides are designed to be open in good weather, but are able to be closed for the other 300 days of the year

Thoughts @hans kraay fan club I’d imagine very little heat, aren’t these designed to me extraordinarily economical
These particular ones, judging by the spec sheet on the planning application, are not as economical as they could be.

But they certainly won’t generate any noticeable heat from 3m above ground, in an outdoor environment.

Friend of mines Mrs sings in a choir and they’ve been asked to perform I think December and apparently in the new venue.

I’m thinking he may have this wrong but he was adamant.

Maybe it’ll be outside the new fanzone rather than it being open properly if it is true?
“Singing at Dicks” May have caused some confusion?

Not sure why they couldn't have gone to the trouble of sourcing a blue material - but all the red areas are just protective temporary sheets. All of those areas currently red, are the space that will be filled with the video displays.
