Bang a couple of nails in and paint some numbers on bits of board with holes in.....when  a team scores hang the number 1 etc from the nail.... sorted.....with only two games left and Parkin missing you'll probably only need 0 for our lot.  To make it more visually exciting use different colour paints.

I did read the word "electronic", but this would imply some kind of power supply which it will most certainly lack......hence my more low tech solution for those punters who don't know the score.

Who asked you Andy King? The first thing to do is ignore any notices that tell you to switch off the current before touching anything then ignore any signs that say DANGER or do not open. Especially ignore all signs that say DANGER OF DEATH. All of these signs are only there to make things more difficult. You must then go and wash your hands and not dry them this is so that you dont get any dirt into the electrics. Finally you must pull all the wires out and randomly connect them all together until it starts working.

Do you think if we get Sonicyouth to rig the scoreboard in our favour. Lets say 3-0 to us and then we lose that the result on the scoarboard will be the final one that counts. It is the same as in golf it is the score thats written on your card that counts even if you can prove that you made a mistake and it is not the actual score.

How does it work? It's not really complicated is it? Can't you just type words in press return and it comes up.


Title: Anyone know anything about electronic scoreboards?
Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, April 22, 2005, 14:02:50
um, it's a bit of software in MS-DOS. It's pretty easy to use, you can make sequences or just display single messages etc. The way the messages are designed to display is more complicated, you can't just type stuff in, you have to design it. Which is impossible without a mouse.

I'd like to see loads of breakdancing robots if we score and if they score just write OH FUCK NO YOU CUNTS. And then post an apology. Then you can be just like that PA bloke who was sacked for swearing a few years back.

Type in something like 'COCK', leave it on for about a second then take it off and see if anyone notices.

Also, a bit of technical advice.

If it starts to play up, as it almost certainly will, hit it very hard with a hammer.

Well seeing as it was your first go I think you did very well Mr Youth.  Liked the info on the cautions, the anticipation running through me when the attendance was being revealed was amazing.  Well done mate.  Still like to see the Hibs score be flashed up there every ten minutes.
