I would recommend that supporters of PFC go to the Club's Facebook page.
There you will find a podcast regarding the Club's reaction to the article.
Well said Bob.
May also explain to the detractors on here that think you can overcome a burnt out mother board in a scoreboard just like that.

So that article struck the same nerve at the club as it did with me yesterday. Glad to see that and hopefully John Townsend and Claremont will feel the heat on Saturday.

may not explain the burnt out mother board but doesn't explain why a proper permanent board has not been installed. Even a shitty one like the one at Leederville would be a big step forward.

Was it in the redevelopment agreement that WC were responsible for installing a permanent elec scoreboard? One would expect so given their desire to have the 2 ovals resulted in the demise of the old scoreboard.
If not it lies with the PFC and the Vic Park Council to get it done.

Yes it does, Bob Shields confirmed in the podcast what I have been told previously by the GM, it is the Eagles responsibility and the club has been frustrated by that and but he said it will be done soon and it will be the best in the WAFL. I hope he's right about both. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

And he has informed the other 3 WAFL clubs with electronic scoreboards to be aware of the same possibility happening to their scoreboard and to be prepared like we were with a back up system. It wasn't ideal but it was better than nothing.

Care to take on the West Coast Eagles John or will Kerry, Ric and Sue tell you to back off?

SS what would you do if the mother board of the scoreboard burnt out on the morning of a game at the Centre of Excellence?
Oh that's right you would probably fix it instantly.

It still takes one person to operate an old or new board, either manually or digitally.

What is the fascination with electronic scoreboards?

When was the last time you visited Lathlain LH? Anyway electronic scroreboards are fantastic if they are an adequate zize, not too bright, coloured and larger scores and clearly visible time clock. I've got a beef with LED lights that I have taken up with various municipalities and Main Roads recently. It is getting ridiculous how bright some lights and electroinic advertising boards are and some of the worst offenders are Main Roads themselves and emergency service vehicles. They blind you as they are apporaching or pass you.

Peels is fantastic and will see tomorrow but from memory Claremont's is pretty good too. I think The one at Leederville is probably the worst of the permanent ones (yes ours is the worst) but to be fair I think Leedervilles is the oldest. 

LH, more to the point why did they bring down the old one at Leederville? Unlike Lathlain you still have the room for it. As others have said electronic scorebaords can be operated from within the club rooms or grandstand and can be modified for any other event and can be used as a revenue raiser.

LaH presumably the Eagles objected to a scoreboard on the wing.  Speaking of abominations, how unaesthetic is the Eagles building?

I'm going in to bat for JT here. He writes a lot of stuff about the WAFL when pretty much no-one else does and yes, that's his job but at least he seems to know what he's talking about whereas others, obviously write stuff from afar. I might not agree with some of his views but at least he's promoting the comp. Also good on Bob Shields for sticking up for his club and continuing the conversation. As far as I'm concerned any discussion either positive or negative in the media about the WAFL is music to my ears.

All boils down to who had the responsibility to build it and that sounds like Trevor - Perth should drag out the old girl and get her put back together in her rightful place once more bugger them hey
