Am after cheap recommendations for some replacement scoreboard numbers. My clubs have been pinched and we need to try and get a new set before the weekend. I have trawled though all the sites I can think off and am struggling to justify paying £100 plus that most seem to be after. We need a full set (25 double sided plates) no larger then 9x7inches in size.
Any ideas guys?

Some black plastic and white paint? Got to be the cheapest way?

The thought had crossed my mind!

Laminated card/paper should do the trick to tide you over until you can get what you need i'm sure!

Get someone at your club who is a handyman.
Give him black plastic to cut to size.
Give him a stencil/outline for the number.
Give him a tin of paint.
Job done for <£50 and a pint

literally just finished making up our new set, some black acrylic plastic cut to size and vinyl printed numbers.
40 rectangles from 1 sheet = 8 sets in total cost us less than £50 from a local plastics company.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/20/jejube2e.jpg)

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have just been trawling through the diy stores as I am tempted to have a go myself. I just need to find somewhere near Swindon that can do the acrylic for me.
