Three sentences we hear again and again from committee members, match operations managers and sponsorship leads.
Or the chalkboard at the clubhouse. Score and time are there, nothing else. There is no room for sponsors and no reason for spectators to look.
The pitch-side boards have been the same for years. Companies ask for something that stands out: moving, bright and visible at the moment of a goal.
A 3 x 2 m LED wall costs around CHF 12'000 to 15'000 all-in. The club account cannot cover that, so the project stays in the drawer.
Three steps from download to the first sponsor contract. No programming, no special console.
Install LemonScore on a Windows or Mac laptop and start with the demo. Club logo, teams and colours are set up in minutes.
Via HDMI to the LED processor of the wall. LemonScore additionally drives a Novastar controller directly, for brightness for example. The score runs full screen.
Upload logos, set the rotation, build the half-time playlist. Every slot is a separate offer: first to your existing pitch-side sponsors as an add-on, then to new companies.
Rotating banners, goal animation with sponsor logo, match clock sponsor and half-time spots are individually sellable slots. As a guide, a slot on the scoreboard is worth 1.5 to 2 times a pitch-side board, which in lower amateur leagues means CHF 600 to 1'200 per season.
Score, match clock, added time and animations in your club colours. Spectators look up, sponsors get seen.
The announcer or match operations manager runs the scoreboard from a phone or tablet. Advertising rotates automatically, the goal animation appears with every goal entered.
The same software overlays the score and sponsors on your live stream via OBS: extra reach for your advertising partners.
Guide values for lower amateur leagues with 200 to 400 spectators. The default assumes 8 slots sold; adjust the figures to your club.
All figures are guide values, not a guarantee. Logic: revenue = slots x price; payback = investment divided by revenue minus running costs.
The LemonScore licence is charged separately: advertising banners and playlists are part of the Professional plan, CHF 100 per month billed annually (CHF 1'200 per year), less than two slots sold.

Reference
LED wall on the sideline installed together with an installation partner: LemonScore shows the score and match information and plays targeted sponsor advertising.
Any LED wall that can be connected as a screen works, regardless of manufacturer. The demo shows you within 15 minutes whether it fits.
Nobody has to. You pick a layout from ready-made templates, drag your logos in, and the rest is clicks.
One person with a phone or tablet is enough. Score, timer and animations run through the remote control, or optionally through a Stream Deck. The advertising rotates automatically.
For sponsor advertising you need the Professional plan: CHF 100 per month billed annually, so CHF 1'200 per year, bookable without an enquiry. That is less than two sponsor slots sold. Basic without advertising banners starts at CHF 40 per month. You can test for free beforehand, as often as you like.
As a rule of thumb an LED wall costs CHF 2'000 to 2'500 per square metre all-in, so around CHF 12'000 to 15'000 for 3 x 2 m. The software licence is charged separately; the plans are on the pricing page.
By selling the advertising slots on the scoreboard individually: rotating banners, goal animation, match clock sponsor and half-time spots. In our worked example with 12 slots sold, a club takes in CHF 11'800 per season; a 3 x 2 m LED wall costing CHF 14'000 is paid for after the second season. Depending on the canton, Swisslos Sportfonds (the Swiss lottery sports fund) contributes as well.
No. LemonScore runs offline after a one-off activation. The phone remote control only needs a local network, for example a small router or the laptop's hotspot.
Yes. LemonScore runs on Windows and macOS and outputs the picture via HDMI to any LED wall. Novastar LED controllers are additionally driven directly.
Once set up, matchday preparation takes a few minutes: start the laptop, create the match, switch to full screen. FC Wohlen describes exactly that in its testimonial.
