No, but I have no intention of letting my kids play on video games 24 hours a day. I didn't spend my childhood ignoring Torquay games and playing on a Gameboy, I used to enjoy watching the games.

You don't have children then?

If the game is shite we could, to bring in extra income, rig up a PS3 to said big screen and get a FIFA 13 tournament on the go. I see loads of kids sat on the pop side staring at PSPs etc so I'm sure they'd love it.

Not specifically, Smiffy, although you could have taken a happier stance for the avoidance of doubt. o:)

The Family Stand end of the Pop might struggle, Rich, but I couldn't speculate as to just how much will be visible.

Will be a great addition to the ground and will really add to the match day atmosphere I think. All we perhaps need now is some dancing girls (although can't complain as we've got Miss England on Saturday!) and everything will be in place.

I seriously doubt that any video footage will be of "live" incidents though as this would probably be way too expensive but some "old" footage of previous home games will still be worth watching as part of the pre match entertainment.

Should be noted, for the hard of thinking, that this post is not an official TUFC statement and shouldn't be associated with the club at all.
This is fantastic news - great if it did this plus the team lineups / clock and score and all that jazz! Am I right in thinking the popsiders will hard pressed to see it?

Honestly, the club spend a King's ransom on something which not only do startlingly few clubs (even at Premier League level) have, but that we have been asking for for years, and yet rather than be grateful/excited/pleased, you'd rather publish a load of old uninformed, unsubstantiated and, if memory serves me correctly (which it may well not) incorrect rubbish.

Thanks go from me to all those involved, including the sponsors who have made this all possible financially, for the latest in the long line of excellent advances in the last few years.

Matt - this indicates you know something!

What will the big screen provide to us fans?

I think it will be a great addition but would be a whole lot more excited if it provided more than adverts.
