pozbaird Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Quote I passed on the comments above to our CEO Brian Caldwell who asked me to post the following response:We are aware of some brightness issues with the LED Screen as well as some problems reading text last night and are looking into these.When we got feedback we were able to adjust the brightness on the Scoreboard screen but not the actual adverts. The majority of the adverts used last night were temporary ones due to time constraints and will be changed for the next match which applies to the text size too.We believe that the fact that the game wasnt during the day didnt help the brightness issue. However, we will work together with the scoreboard manufacturers as well as our advertisers to improve the issues raised. Excellent....

buddiecat Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 i've just began to get my eyesight back - glad they are dealing with the brightness issues and the fonts, could it not have been tested for brightness and readability beforehand though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddiecat Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 pity that "big front door" didnt put any contact numbers on their advert, i have an oversized front door that needs replaced and cant get door manufacturers to supply one to fit , they all want to sell me double doors to fit the size, anybody know their contact number or factory address ?

I wanted people to google it and see what we did.There is a good sandwich shop in San Diego going by the same name right enough. So, sorry we don't actually do doors.

civilsaint Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 That's very true ! Many a time you see an ad & think who are they & what the hell do they do or make.

pozbaird Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Some advert or others on it today that seemed new from the Accies game. Fcuk knows what the adverts were for. Still shite text, in shite colours, at far too small a font size. How fcuking difficult can it be. One year, three months. Must remember to change my signature text.

Callum Gilhooley Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 My first time today to witness the portable TV in the corner. Its a f**kin joke, ! Tough if any of the kids in the family stand have a birthday , theres no way theyre gonna be able to see their name on screen , it needs to be twice the size.

As an advertiser who uses the screen I can only speak for myself but I'm delighted with the exposure we get from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray7 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 The screen is growing on me. Still needs certain text resized/coloured and the timer sorted but I'm sure those are just teething problems that will be fixed soon. As long as it's generating an extra income for the club, I couldn't care less what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right Div, most people will remember a name then use a search engine to find out more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
