I know that a LED bus destination display is about £1500, how much would an LED scoreboard cost? £5000 or £6000?

Not idea, but Fax need one!

£30,000.

Let's start a faxfans.com donation.

I've got a fiver. Anyone......................?

Thanks Rich - i will take it off your hands - will pm you my address to send me the money.

Give me your sort code, account no, D.O.B and your maiden name and i'll transfer it online.

No worries - will send you my passport as well just so you know its me.

That sounds about right from what I have heard, I think the clubs should go for a scoreboard with it being funded 50/50.
Us fans should help, can anybody take ownesrhip at the club on this?

I think £30,000 could be used elsewhere although, as Yob has pointed out, it could be self funding in the long term through sponsorship.

Yer good idea but would somebody stump up £30K?
Plus it would have to be for both Town and Fax, doable though if somenody like Briggs Priestley came in with a sponsorship, the clubs put in say £5K each and the fans £5K each.

Lets go for it.

Haven's Independant Supporters club just raised money for new scoreboard...£10,500 it cost...Plus VAT which club can claim back.
3.5 meters wide..does all the players names, adverts, Birthdays etc

Blimey. Not cheap are they?

that sounds better than 30k and more within reach.

Bit naff though isn't it? 3.5 meters wide? Or am i being unkind?

One we have is i think 3.5m x.1.5m...shorter than Leeds's, But higher.
Leeds and Saints have i think 5 meter wide ones that have 20 characters per line (Some wasted characters u'd not use ?)
This one has 12 characters (enough to fit WHITEHAVEN) but has 4 lines..where as teams above only have 2 lines

So you can have on 4 lines
WHITEHAVEN
20
HALIFAX
20

where as Leeds would have
LEEDS RHINOS 20
BRADFORD BULLS 20

all four lines join together to show things like 'TRY !'

Oh that's not too bad then. A decent size and very visible from all areas. Worth a punt?

we got the exact same one as Grimsby Town football club got, they have theirs at one end of ground, directly above goals.Looks good

I think it could well be.

Could be an idea

That's obscenely huge.

phnaaaar phnaaaaar.

LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!1

I made enquiries earlier this year. Will dig out the info when I get back from Spain.

Wether you want to go for a scoreboard or not a good place to raise funds is here....

we have taken nearly a grand in last 12 months
Barrow set theirs up couple months ago and raised similar amount already.
Know other clubs like Leigh, Workington now have them too
VERY easy cash for free from major retailers!

How much was this one then?
