cardboard cut out of oneself at the OS.

Post by greyhound »

apparently orient are working on a way
to have a cardboard cut out of oneself to be placed around the ground
so that you will be able to see yourself on TV.
didn't say how much it would cost just that it would be a bit of fun.

Might be the nearest I get to being in the ground for a while :lol:
Although I do see that EFL clubs are trying to get approval for fans to be allowed in by October.
They are talking about only allowing 25% of capacity being allowed in.

Plenty of animated supporters at the top of the west, the eponymously named supporter excepted.

Under ‘The Clown’ we sang “We’re ****ing bored.”

Under C-19, we can sing “We’re ****ing board”.

Hope the material is 100% recyclable.

might be for you. watching matches on TV without spectator's is out and out boring.
putting cardboard cut outs will be better than nothing.
maybe put some crowd sounds in as well.

Reminder: Arsenal's old ground (1992) were redeveloping one end so they painted a huge 'crowd scene' just behind the goal-line …. only they forgot to be 'PC' … the majority were Caucasian faces?

Wonder if any of the cardboard cut outs will have fans giving dodgy hand signals to the players.

you don't get do you.
its not just about the OS its hopefully going to be used
for premiership games on TV just to give a crowd effect rather than just seeing empty seats.
there was a German match showing 13000 cut outs it look really good.
add sounds of the crowd behind the goals would make it even better.

all football supporters who watch games on the TV
just to give it a bit more presentation instead of looking at empty seats.

Personally, I'll be watching the pitch, not the stands.
