Just a few miles south, National League leaders Stockport County’s march towards restoring Football League status is accompanied by a video screen at the Railway End of their Edgeley Park home, although it is fair to note that the visiting fans sat below it have no roof over their heads. Indeed, one does not need to look across the city to the Etihad Stadium to see a screen in regular use, or to other Premier League venues. The case was based more on the high capacity and the historical aura of the venue, however, than its leaky roof and outdated facilities.Ī club statement on the architectural work said: “Work will begin immediately on developing options for Old Trafford and studying their feasibility, with the aim of significantly enhancing the fan experience.” It may be suggested that a new screen will be central to that. Writing this week about Old Trafford, the Manchester Evening News put the case for the current stadium to still be considered the best in England, despite acknowledging the lack of a big screen was a significant drawback. This has led to the club’s owners commissioning KSS, the same architects that designed the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which has a very prominent state-of-the-art screen. Given the currently contrasting fortunes of Manchester United and Liverpool, it would be an error to somehow claim there was a direct link, but the wider state of United’s Old Trafford ground has been highlighted as being in as much need of a revamp as the team.

However, while it is only the Premier League that currently uses VAR, a couple of its stadiums stand out as lacking replay screens: Old Trafford and Anfield. The use of VAR decisions means they now act to help spectators see what is going on and why a decision is upheld or overturned. Once seen as anathema because it could apparently inflame crowd tensions if a replay was shown of a controversial incident, they are now an integral part of the show. Another service is using our amazing and unique W4 panel, this flexible panel can be used to create on stage columns and curves, strips and banners and it can be controlled by one of our multi layer video control units.Īnother interesting feature is the ability to attach screens to the front edge of the stage to follow the curve we have a number of different products for this and can supply further information on request.The sight of an LED display screen is commonplace at most modern football grounds. One of the other key festival services is the back drop screens, these can be mounted behind the performer to provide a number of different images and content designs that help to animate the on stage performance these can be linked into the side screens to work together as one canvas. We don’t only supply the screens we can supply the camera systems, video mixing, producers to really bring the show alive. These are normally used to show larger images of the on stage performers. Construction took place in the winter of 2002 on the expansion of the football complex and a new state-of-the-art video replay scoreboard. replays of the Match being played are filtered on the giant screens, in order not to.

There are a number of services we supply to this market, firstly the large IMAG screens (Left and right of the stage). requires, references to the Stadium shall include the indoor. Our Technical Director started in this industry supplying screens to large scale regional concerts and festivals across the UK, this included events like Glastonbury.
