the file is for the game fm18, tested in my fm20, and works perfect
DOWNLOAD LINK: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2zg872boi7077wa/CLUB_BANNERS_ADBOARDS_FM18_2.zip/file
This mod turns FM 2020 generic adboards into club-specific colors, flags, and banners, giving each stadium its own flair and feel and adding some much-needed individuality to the 3D match-game engine.
With over 700 clubs and thousands of images, it's not a perfect duplication of a stadium's adboards or look, but at least offers up something new to look at.
1. Extract the contents of the CLUB_BANNERS_ADBOARDS_FM20_2.zip file. You don't need special software for that as it's a .zip file.
2.Place the first "ads" folder (the one that has only the fm.xml file inside it) inside your FM20 user data folder, that by default is found at:
Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2020
3.Place the large "pictures/ads" folder inside your "graphics" folder:
Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2020 > graphics
If you already have a pictures folder, just place the large "ads" folder within it, so as not to erase whatever else is in your pictures folder, like stadiums, flags, city pics, etc.
If you don’t have a graphics folder, please create one. Graphics folder should now read graphics/pictures/ads.
4. Place the "simatchviewer_uncompressed" folder (this contains the video ads) into the "data" folder within your Steam installation folder (which is not located in the area of the first two folders):
[i]steam > steamapps > common > Football Manager 2020 > data
5.Please restart FM20 entirely. If you just refresh the cache, the game may still not realize there is an entirely new place to find its graphics. Only when FM20 is restarted will it find and read the new ads xml file, and also discover the video ads.
Go in-game to the Preferences > Interface screen; click on "Clear Cache". And then return to the same screen and click "Reload Skin".
Individual team banners and flags should now appear. Enjoy!

I can create the proper string - steam > steamapps > common > Football Manager 2020> data>simatchviewer_uncompressed

This second step: 2.Place the first "ads" folder (the one that has only the fm.xml file inside it) inside your FM20 user data folder, that by default is found at:
Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2020
This folder doesn't exist on my Apple Mac. Do you know the alternate folder for Mac to put this file in?
Thanks in advance.

From FM20 onwards, there's been a substantial change to how Mac FM documents are stored. Previously the files would automatically go in the Documents folder here:
Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Documents/Sports Interactive
Now the files will instead appear in the following location:
Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive
By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows:
Open Finder
Click ‘Go’ from the menubar
Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 2020’

I added aldershot in and created a folder within the correct English folder. Created about 14 ad-boards (numbering them 1.png / 2.png / 3.png etc ..) and then followed the guidelines of the other teams within the fm.xml of adding them in. Giving them new file i.d's that hadn't been used already. Then remembering the correct procedure when creating the integer value. Saved it all then loaded it up.
This obviously caused a conflict, as when I loaded the game and cleared the cache. Closed it down and loaded it up again, the team had Football Manager 2018 boards all the way around the pitch? ............
Do you need to start a new game completely for the ad-boards to kick in? Or is the clear cache thing enough (similar to kits and logo add-on's).
What could have caused the ad-board failure with the FM 2018 boards appearing?
Thanks in advance to Stranger or anyone else who may know the answer.

However I wish to add Aldershot into the equation. I have made good ad-boards and over-typed an existing club, in a league I wasn’t using. Changed to all the right Aldershot club i.d. and also ensured that the ad-boards were the same size and also the same number. The Shots ad-boards then had a folder added to the English folder and the route was correct so that the file would know where to look for them.
However, it shows the Football Manager 2028 repeat ad-boards and so something isn’t being done right.
Do you have any ideas?
Ideally I was looking to do all of the Conference teams stadiums to match the rest.

This is down to an error in your xml file, look at your code again, chances are you’ve missed a “/> after assigning a graphic to an id number
StuartNG
Is it best to just add a whole new line of code on, or over-typing a team in a league that I am not going to use better?
Is it important that the ad-boards are the same size as the club I am swapping them with?
Thanks in advance.

Basically, there are two major adboard packs. This one and @rabcp one. https://sortitoutsi.net/forums/topic/51987/fm20-adboard-patch-coming-soon
The pack from @rabcp is getting frequent updates so I recommend that one. Instructions on how to install them, you find in the specific topic.

4. Place the "simatchviewer_uncompressed" folder (this contains the video ads) into the "data" folder within your Steam installation folder (which is not located in the area of the first two folders):
[i]steam > steamapps > common > Football Manager 2020 > data
I only have "ads, editor data, games, graphics and skins in my Football Manager 2020 folder. Do I put it in the editor data folder?

you are in the wrong folder, in this step, you need to go to the Steam folder, you are going to the documents folder

Got this all working. Changed videos to only SD but had to lower the graphics quality from high to medium to get them to work in-game. The static adboards all worked fine but perhaps the high graphics demands were too much.
Bizarre as I have a new Dell gaming laptop and the graphics quality is showing as high for the game.
I tried lowering crowd graphics quality and shadows but that didn’t do much but as I said medium setting on graphics in preferences seemed to do the job.
