I can't see it from where I'm sat. So not much of an issue. I just wish they'd fix the clock on the Fantastic Media stand.

It was definitely there because I went for a pint at 30,returned at 55 and left at 85! That was a long pint. Glad I wasn't in a round with you, I'd be parched.

Can we bring the old style half time scoreboard back? It was always fun having to cross reference a letter of the alphabet against a scoreline… Obviously you needed to have a programme to do that…
Fecking spoon fed everything nowadays, nowt like a little bit of a readers digest style competition at h/t…

It looked odd - assume they had a problem with it
It also contained that awful motto Working Class Club - I thought that had been binned

Given the number of goals we've scored.

That was working when we went to the Giants match against Hull KR on Bank Holiday Monday - ironically the main scoreboard wasn't. Maybe they were updating it ahead of yesterday's game?

I couldn't see the clock from where I sit (Riverside upper) and it was really annoying. It makes you wonder what idiot designed the new display.

If only there was a small contraption you could wear, somewhere easily accessible such as on your wrist, that told the time 🤷♂️

Can't understand why they stop the clocks at the end of the halves, not letting it run on to include the added time. Stopping the clocks at 45' and 90' at the end of the first and second halves respectively is actually a directive set directly by FIFA, although I can't seem to find anything on it in black and white. I remember reading in the Q&A section of a programme when it was Give Us An H that officials feel that the clock running beyond the 45' or the 90' "undermined their decision making". I think the idea behind it is to stop on-field officials being berated by both fans and players if they have a gripe about how much time has been played compared to what has been announced. Although extra time is obviously announced throughout the stadium for the benefit of both fans and the players, according to the IFAB 'Laws of the Game' added time has to at least go past what has been announced but beyond that the time at which a half is ended is completely at the discretion of the on-field referee.

Well done to the club for lowering the scoreboard. I can see the clock now. Hope it doesn't restrict the away fans view too much.

It was a gift from PSV Eindhoven. Ex-Town player Sam Wadsworth was manager of PSV at the time. Played a friendly here - 9th May 1951 - and to commemorate it they gave us the scoreboard. PSV is connected to Philips, the big Dutch electrical giants. LINK

Wait! Ignore those posts! I think you're right - the electronic scoreboard preceded that one. I have no pictures of it.

Just checked '100 Years' book... Page 41... "Summer 1951 - First electronic scoreboard on a League ground erected at Dalton Bank end, presented by PSV Eindhoven on the occasion of their visit to play a friendly match for the 'Festival of Britain' in May 1951."
No photos though.
Edit: Found the answer in the 1950/51 section of John Ward's Archive on the HTSA website.
It was burned down by vandals years later and deemed too expensive to replace or repair. Bloody yobs.
Still no photos, mind...

Before my time of course, my first game was 1989, so the only "scoreboard" was that weird one at the open end that 7 year old me couldn't understand!

It’s obvious that the most vocal Big Phil detractors occupy the back few rows of all the stands.
As a result, the club have initiated this wonderfully passive aggressive scheme of rearranging the scoreboard.
Rumour has it, if the South Stand gives him grief we will be seeking special dispensation from UEFA to attack the north stand in both halves.
