Bleep were identified following extensive market research and due diligence to select the company best equipped to meet these objectives, highlighted by their work at similar operations, such as Liverpool FC, QPR FC and the Manchester Arena.

The Reds have chosen to install the new, Bleep TS-915 Touch Screen Terminals, with cool and sharp black and white lines, proving to be a sleek and stylish atheistic addition. Utilising the powerful Intel® Atom™ processor, the tills have been designed to cope with every aspect and demand it could face in this environment. The additional 7" Widescreen LCD Customer Facing Display instantly catches the eye, while also allowing for Out of Home Digital Advertising, be it club fixtures and news, special offers, or paid for 3rd party advertisements.
