I've noticed in recent weeks that the screen has had a dodgy green stripe across the bottom, which was similar to the way the previous one broke, with various random blotches appearing on it. To be honest though, a scoreboard shouldn't break down like that. We paid a lot of money for it, and providing it is properly maintained it should last for donkey's years!

I agree. It’s had that green block on it for some time. Without being an expert I’d hazard a guess that water ingress and exposure to the elements is probably the problem which causes certain elements of the scoreboard to fail.
The reason ours may be subject to failure is due to its proximity at the highest location of the ground. Also with the river nearby fog and mist and damp in the air are more common.
Maybe we need some form of waterproof housing to keep the scoreboard in and a plastic front to keep it dry?
The trouble is it gets left out in the rain.
Funds for new scorboard or Player funds, it's a no brainer. We can manage without a scoreboard.
So it's now broken beyond repair then?
