What a surprise northerners moaning about progress.

Well considering northerners make up the majority of this forum...

At the Wigan Leeds game last week, one of the LED adverts was for DW Sports & Fitness (unsurprisingly). The problem for me was that the majority of it was bright white and I completely lost track of the ball whenever this advert was showing. I'm all for the enhanced revenue they bring, but as a spectator they're definitely a distraction.

I like them. As has been said, it makes us look more professional and keeps us up to date with the other major sports in the country.

On a side note (and nothing to do with RL), one thing I have always wondered was why do they have to have the old standard ad hoardings for Champions League games? Why not just put the none moving ads on the LCD ad screens?

I think it's because the CL have a set amount of sponsors who get a set amount of hoardings around the pitch. PS3, Amstel etc. Plus the hoardings are taller for CL games also.
