Boris5115 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Passed Tynie for the first time in a while this morning and noticed that the floodlights are currently being replaced with a new LED system I would imagine this must be costing a few quid to replace the existing ones. Looks the the trusses on the three older stands have been painted aswell. I'd have thought that given limited income during the pandemic things like this would have been put on the back burner. Hopefully the team can shine as bright as the new lights next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the foodlights have been needing a changed for a while now some of the bulbs never even came on. would be good to see the trusses painted white not pink 😜 . The should get the flags of the nations our players are from like they did back in the early 2000's AND get rid of that half sign in the wheatfield inner wall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully this work being done saved us from allowing the SFA to hold the Scottish Cup final, which would’ve meant thousands of vermin drinking in the pubs in Gorgie and lowering the tone in general.

davieholt Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) We used to have a scoreboard at the Gorgie end showing the scores from the other grounds. Was popular at the time.

bairdy Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 1 hour ago, rory78 said: Wish we would put in a scoreboard or big screen a lot of clubs nowadays have one I did the half-time scoreboard for a while many moons ago. A mate who was also doing it , once put up a score , for a laugh, that the lochenders were getting beat 5 or 6 - 0. The crowd was roaring ! When the guy who was in charge saw what he had done, he went mental ! When it was removed , some of the crowd were non too pleased, to say the least ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jambonian Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 1 hour ago, rory78 said: Wish we would put in a scoreboard or big screen a lot of clubs nowadays have one I said that a couple of years ago. It should've been integrated into the design. Almost all new stands/grounds built nowadays for bigger clubs have them included. It's just the modern way. A bit like buying a brand new car whereby folk now expect to get various screens and media sources included. It's just the way the modern world has developed. 58 minutes ago, DS98 said: Im getting on a bit but I can usually remember what the score is during the game. I'm sure everyone knows the score in their particular games but it hasn't stopped new stands/grounds having them installed.

tian447 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) LED lights will be great, and will probably save the installation cost just in electricity usage after a year or two. Half of our bulbs didn't work in the first place As long as they're not too bright, otherwise it'll be like driving at night in front of one of those Audi twats with laser beam headlights. Won't see a thing in the evening kick offs! Edited May 12 by tian447 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m distracted enough by the digital clocks in big games, not really sure what use the scoreboards are apart from showing VAR is looking at something. Some sort of deal for WiFi would be a better bet, log in for a pound perhaps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
