Here at Scoreboard Pressure we’re guessing the score in the photo above is 1/4 time, or early the second quarter.

The digital scoreboard was  behind the goals at the Fitzroy St end of the ground.

Anyone know if the traditional scoreboard was working that day? We presume so, but you never know.

Here’s a photo from just a few years ago.
