Digital Flags?!?

[greasedupdeafguy]

future fan engagement whilst at the match will be fantastic in a few years due to technology, you'll be able to access real-time game & player stats via the boards/screens/phones but the pay-off will be how it's monetised.

Not a big deal, city are at the forefront of such initiatives and will be part of the match day experience. Deal with it or watch your local pub team down the park.

Interesting article of how clubs are using data for performance featuring contribution and insight on how our very own club uses it to gain competitive advantage... <a class="postlink" href="http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive/2014/01/features/the-winning-formula" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive ... ng-formula</a>

Do people really care how many times david silva touched the ball or whatever

Yes, lots of people are interested in stats and information, not just shouting obscenities at opposing players...

I doubt it. I'm sure more are just interested in watching the game rather than looking at a screen of endless stats

They won't be endless as I imagine they will have multiple uses/purpose - flags/ads/stats etc. I agree that the purpose of going to the game in person is to watch the live action but tech such as this will be introduced as extras to the 'experience' such as logging into stadium wi-fi with your phone (Yeah, laughable atm...) and accessing real-time stats. All those terrace arguments about how Dzeko doesn't put the effort in or how shit Kolarov is at defending can be backed up at the swipe of a screen... ;-)

City Voice poll results so far.

Given that fans have asked for cheaper ticket prices (prices went up), cheaper food and drink (prices went up), and more colour/atmosphere (banners taken down from level 2) in the various City Voice discussions/polls though, wouldn't be surprised if they go with "Live footage of fans at the stadium". :-)

I went for something else hoping they would ask me.

No such luck, no further question.

I was going to tell them to turn the f'ing things off.

Those percentage figures are a joke - they are supposed to add up to 100 ffs.

Agreed, but we shouldn't show anything that can help the opposition, at the Liverpool game the large screen showed names of Liverpool defenders and clearly highlighted that the line they were holding had a massive gap in it, why would we want to point that out to them...???

I posed that question about the figures adding up to 168% Ridiculous

It's a multiple option poll, so I guess that's why the percentages are so strange.

You could choose more than 1 option.

I went for 1 and 2
