I think that is because you can't see the struts on the left where the roof angles backwards?
I'm not going to start trying to line up with a Google maps overhead shot to check for sure though!

It's central to the pitch
‘We’ve got wonky screens, we’ll view what we want!’
I know what you're saying but it seems odd that the wearing of a hard hat isn't a site requirement. On most sites, once you're in the perimeter, it's hard hats everywhere.
Oh the hard hat IS a site requirement .... and wearing it up and down scaffold, or on hoists etc to get to the roof IS a requirement ... but once on the roof, if there is nothing overhead, and nothing to bump your head on then they can be removed..... and then they must be put back on as soon as they step foot off the roof.
It relates back to the heat in summer mainly and there being no shade on an exposed roof and wearing a hard hat making peoples' heads boil.... espcially when it's already often a hot works environment (felting etc etc)
THe reason why many company policies insist on them being worn when on the roof is because they think roofers can't be trusted to put the hard hat on after removing it.
PS ... anyone questioning "wouldn't a hard hat protect them if they fell off the roof ?" is overlooking that the Risk Assessment will have eliminated the possibility of them falling from the roof .. ie WAH safety kits, lanyards, harnesses etc where needed.
I only deal with stuff going into the ground these days but it used to be the most common complaint from residents/public in previous lifes ... "why aren't your blokes on the roof wearing hard hats ?"

This I didn't consider. The GM does extend further past the pitch on the Main Stand Side than it does Kop side.
I took these photos at the Plymouth game back in August when I was about three rows from the back of the GMU. I don't reckon the GMU screen will even obstruct the screen on the Tilton roof.

You're possibly right, but I suppose the main thing is that you can see the pitch clearly. It's not going to ruin my day if I can't see a giant screen.

The GMU screen looks off centre which is an odd choice.
I think it is just perspective making it look offset.
If there are 2 screens, will they both be operated by the same remote control? And who is going to be in charge of it??
No manager atm so it's Craig Gardner in control

They can't sync the sound with one screen, how are they gonna cope with two? Images on both screens and sound all out of sync is my guess for next season, looking forward to it already.
