Why oh why go away from the old manual scoreboards? Modern technology is not very reliable!
As soon as the bloody power goes off or something goes wrong with it- you're stuffed! And to have no operational scoreboard at the ground is a bad sign.

A disgrace and sign of the times in WAFL CLICK for bigger image

oh my god, is that what was used?
that is a joke surely.

They couldn't even come up with the correct letters for the two sides - the E team v F team. What a disgrace!

Hee Hee! E = East Perth F = Falcons That's not too hard to work out.

Tell them to use H and V next time. Lol friggin' lol.

I can see how the one eyed WP fans would have trouble seeing that scoreboard.

I doubt they would have liked what was on it anyway ....

Easy to work out

E = EAGLES
F = FALCONS

When the electronic scoreboard was first installed, I used to sit on the outer wing and as soon as the sun got a bit low in the west after halftime it was impossible to read from that side. I rang the club (Subi) and they advised that it certainly was not the style of board that either club wanted but it's a City of Vincent property they paid for it and they made their own decision on the type and location and are responsible for its maintenance or lack thereof.

I now sit in the grandstand so I can see the tiny board a bit better ... and I'm closer to the bar!!

To make it worse the ground is home to one of the richest clubs in Australia, who despite that refuses to fork out a few grand for decent manual scorebord, pretty much sums the club up its all about them.

Agree Strono one of a few. EF, SF & SD do. Not sure about WP - they used too. The rest don't.

Yes mate Joondalup has local and AFL games on the board

As can be seen by this picture to right.. clik for bigger image




Agree with you Bazza 2 teams who are in the money especially Subiaco considering the lotto they win at every AFL game with their bar and rooms at Domain
and EP actually making a profit because of no outlay because Eagles are footing the bills

You would think they could of done better. Soft excuse to blame Council even if they are responsible for the electronic board they cant forecast electrical problems

Wonder what happened to the original Leederville board or did WP take that to Joondalup?

When you think about it EP and Subi could of got an electronic dispay in. They are for Hire and could of been set up at short notice. But all that aside NOT GOOD ENOUGH
