    Can I say how much I disliked and disapproved from the change they made to the scoreboard in this old contest. They replaced the original scoreboard with a modern display. I wasn’t the only one who was displeased with the change on the YouTube channel.

    The EurovisionAgain is a fan project made out of love for the contest. The modern scoreboard is done by a fan, who portrays old scoreboards with modern technology and display and yes he is doing a great job, but when I watch an old contest, I want to see the original scoreboard. That change they made was a mistake and should never be done again.

    The reason I am posting this comment here, is that I am not on Twitter, so can’t contact anyone from the team behind EurovisionAgain. However I know that one of the EurovisionAgain team is also part of the ESCinsight team and I hope this member will read this comment and pass it through.
