The not so big screen

[The Who]

What a pity one-third of the screen at Brookie Oval is taken up permanently with a gambling ad.

Agree and I noticed it on the night as well - after waiting this long for it to be installed, how disapointing. If they want to advertise that much, put a neon sign in next to it or similar.

I'm wondering who paid for it. presumably Lottoland. So what happens when their sponsorship runs out? Does the screen become the property of the Council?
I'm a realist to know that you need sponsorship, but having the great green Lottoland sign on the board permanently is wrong. The screen is there to show replays or action from the match, yet 33% of its effectiveness is blocked. Have the Lottoland sign there during breaks in play and at half time and full time only.

Wasn't it paid for with government funding?

It's there to remind the referees how to make decisions.

Or to remind them which betting agency they placed their bet with?

Why the hell is it even on there in the first place? They don't need it on the big screen. Going by that picture alone, they have enough of their advertising already along the fence-line without having to force it on us more by taking up screen space.

Exactly

It’s advertised for you to lose your house & family.

Then why doesn’t it just say “penalty away team”?

Because transparency isn't a strong trait of greenturd and his minions.

True. That is the reserve grade when Easts score, again. As I pointed out in another post, we lost all three matches yet scored the same number of tries in each match. Goal-kicking and penalties beat us. If nothing else we are consistent throughout the grades.

Agreed. Makes me wonder if whatever is sending the signal to it can only do the older aspect ration of the old screen. Wouldn't surprise me if they neglected to update this haha.

Send an email to David Livanes who is the GM of marketing and events. Wont let me post his email. but if you send it to the reception email it is passed on.
I emailed to advise them of the poor PA system on the hill and he replied almost immediate advising they had been notified and were trying to rectify it for the game this weekend.
