SoL To Undergo Multi-Million-Pound Investment Programme

[Roker Scoreboard]

Started to discolour in places I’ve noticed whe I’ve been in early. You look back to when they were put in and they’ve definitely faded since.

They could invest in a permant cover for the seats in the lower deck, like they had during the covid closures, and at least these would protect the seats in between matches and preserve the colour.
They could also replace the red seats with white in the bottom section of the North, East and South and keep red above the gangway.

The screens facing the crowd would likely be for those that are high in the stands and can't see the current screens. You'd need a screen on the back of the seat in front of you in order to see anything if you were under a tifo.

Would make sense to have screens on the side walls of the Premier Concourse and North Stand Upper.

Wherabouts? I know the first segment of the North East Corner Roof that has always looked new, clean and brighter than the rest of the roof but its been like that since the North Stand Extension was built as it was replaced during the works. The Underside of the Premier Concourse Roof is shocking, paint flaked off, dirt and rust and the perspex panels, im suprised any sunlight shines through. Then the NWU and North Stand Extension Roof looks good as new. They must have used a different coating on the sheeting and purlins as its only a 4 year difference in construction dates.

That may be because they re-did them a year or two ago!

The tifo's run down the front of the stand from the roof - he said these screens would effectively be behind these, meaning people could still see em.

just listened to your pod, as well as screens facing inwards are you meaning the scoreboards are getting replaced with new also?

Aye they are. Somebody posted on here a while back that they'd been ordered and would be bigger. Won't have the sunderland badge either side iirc.

@sun gets in my eyes iirc

Would guess new screens would be for Bournemouth game as we have a 2 week gap to install them

Maybe like Evertons

What do you notice about the ball on Everton's screen and actual play on the pitch?

Thats some delay

Actually looking at the players, it's probably a second if that but just the ball alone makes it look so different

Screens look so much better though , hope that's what we have went for

There's not much point installing a new screen on the south stand if we are raising the roof for an extension. They may as well extend first.

There's absolutely no plan for an extension bar rumours...

Why on earth would you wait years for something which costs pennies in comparison and could be reused anyway.

The club released plans the other month but with no specific timeline.

If this season continues to go well it will be sooner rather than later.

That was just to show whats possible and to head off the council housing plans.

Can't see us extending in the short term

It’s not going to happen this summer. The screen would just be taken down and put back up anyway

I think it’ll happen if we have 3 years of progress. Once we show signs that we might be ready to push for European footy they’ll pull the trigger.

@Cack Stottie you mentioned on the podcast being at a talk-in with Bruce and Ghisolfi earlier this week. What was said? Apologies if there’s another thread on it, must’ve missed it.

I’m sure it wouldn’t be much hassle putting it up now and removing it later.
