priceyrice 123 Posted August 14, 2021 Anyone else couldn't help noticing the very annoying flashing on the electronic advertising hoarding round the side of the pitch today? I thought it was cameras flashing at first but then once I realised it was one of the electronic adverts I couldn't stop noticing it. Was driving me mad, can't see how this doesn't impact players. The ironic thing is, I can't even remember what it was advertising!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,418 Posted August 14, 2021 Agreed. it went from a black advert to a very bright white and flashed, I had much the same thought as you. im in an upper tier too - so it should be less visually intrusive to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East Rider 551 Posted August 14, 2021 First saw them when the free kick was about to be taken. Actually thought it was lightening for a brief second. Surprised it was allowed (and even more surprised if it is repeated another game) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
priceyrice 123 Posted August 15, 2021 Yes, I will also be surprised if we see it again, seemed way too intrusive for me. Imagine that going off as you stepped up to take a penalty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,254 Posted August 15, 2021 Was surprising to see and did make me think WTF was that! It was a little bit “strobey” too. Would have come with a warning and a helpline on TV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't notice it say goal at all. But the flashing black and white advert I saw a few times.... Going to see if I can spot It on motd later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
