Popular Post Mr Zo Posted June 11, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Just wondered what the chances were of the St Mirren Scoreboard being turned around during the week to face the traffic driving by the stadium. Could it be turned or could it be set up on something that would allow it to be movable. It could be used to advertise future saints fixtures, tickets, strips, corporate etc. There must be thousands of people passing the stadium everyday. It's a fairly prime spot. Surely there would be demand to sell as advertising space to airlines etc. It seems a waste that its only used for a few hours about 20-25 days a year. It might not seem a great idea but if we could generate an extra few bob here and there at the club it all helps to what happens on the pitch. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappy coco Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Was thinking the same thing while driving around the town tonight and seeing the new advertising screens that are popping up all over the place, Greenhill rd is one of the main arteries leading to and from the motorway so can be really busy at times......Great idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 As I drive past grounds (or the roads that lead to them) such as ictfc, Brora, wick academy... I pay attention to the boards to see who the next visitors are and when. THAT would be a simple and obvious way of perhaps enticing passing trade....? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Firstly, the scoreboard doesn't sit high enough to show at the roadside. Secondly, there is no way anybody is going to pay good money to advertise to no one" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 For much of the last three years the fcuking thing should have been turned the other way from 3pm to 4.40pm every Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garf Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Firstly, the scoreboard doesn't sit high enough to show at the roadside. Secondly, there is no way anybody is going to pay good money to advertise to no one" Not sure if the stand it's on is adjustable, might be easy enough to do. I think there's enough traffic through the area to make it worthwhile, the retail/industrial estate across the road is busy throughout the week and Murray St is always busy. Definitely a good suggestion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepaisleypanda Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 At the start of last season, we should have turned the STANDS around!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Falkirk use a static board to show up coming games. Going back to the original post. Good idea. Could another screen be established on the exterior of the building and used to advertise up coming games etc. Perhaps sponsored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 A big external board pointing out towards Greenhill Road could host a ton of messages... 'You are about to leave Paisley - don't laugh, just wait until you see Greenock'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmurray24 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Sorry for delay in a reply here I never saw this question popping up.Away back at the start of looking for a Scoreboard, Brian Caldwell looked into that option of having it rotate to face the road and be used as advertisement space. It could be done but was felt at the time as not an option. The costs to enable this was very expensive and put it out of reach for the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why I assumed that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
