Amex to get Digital Ad Boards ???

[HawkTheSeagull]

In the letter sent out today (including the fixture list, ST holder which no one will use and the new ST if you got one) it says in the section about the cashback that offers will be specific and not available at any time for the club shops and that offers will be detailed on social media, programmes, the big screen and from the Derby County game onwards, on our new LED perimeter system.

I assume its those digital ad boards you get at every Premier League ground and what we trialed at the Newcastle cup game last season and as i can recall, they werent too bad and can earn the club a fair bit of money.

About time we got them to be fair, most top grounds in the country have them of course.

We had them for Arsenal too.

Can be annoying but we need the cash.

Was a thread on this a month or so ago. Great idea.

Why? It's useful to stop the fixture card from getting dogeared and will be even better if the ST card can be read through it.

The ST card can be read through a normal wallet, no? I just put my wallet under the scanner to get through the turnstile.

I notice in many premier league grounds that if they have the perimeter system then the usual advertising in the stands elsewhere is not there. It would look great if we could have Brighton badges, quotes etc rather than shithouse local advertising.

Look at pics of Stamford Bridge, Emirates and Old trafford for examples.

I thought they would be distracting & annoying, but found I didn't notice them after a while.

And buying stuff at the outlets?

Yes they can and I do the same thing, but you need to keep it separate from an Oyster card as it won't read it properly. I guess the same thing could happen with the new bus cards.

Im going on the general feeling on NSC where people are saying they wont use them. And as SeagullSongs says, you can scan it in your wallet anyway !!

Still, nice of the club to send free ones out instead of selling them for £1.50 in the shop.

The Emirates, Etihad and Old Trafford do have advertising on other stands, although it is in club colours and just company names and does look very professional.

£1m install...?

Yep, no problem with leaving the card in a wallet for this either.

Since that is being pretty much withdrawn except for specific items/times - it wont be used as much, but when you do use it - just take it out your wallet - simple.

It's a requirement of being in the premier league. I think they get return on investment within a couple of seasons.

OpEx based lease ?

 

[worthingseagull123]

I hope we don't get one.

Tacky, annoying and trying to just squeeze ever more £££ out the game.

Too late.

Really?

That is tragic.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Really?

That is tragic.

Really ? You can make SHITLOADS with these boards as your ads will been seen by millions. The club needs extra money and every top ground in the UK has them for this very reason.

If anything, we are too slow to get them.

Dunno But we are not putting them in to make a loss!
