These were installed, if my memory serves me correctly, to aid the new goal line technology and were a requisite for Premier League football (I think?). So I’m guessing that those behind VAR now want even better lighting so that they can 100% confirm a perfectly good 94th minute winner against Liverpool next season is... perfectly not? 💰 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted May 26, 2021 If the tower lights are upgraded to LED it would probably actually save the club money in the long run, those big ol' lights can't be cheap to run 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you mean it is so bad you cannot make out the announcer's witless drivel on, for example, the Tampa challenge or that jousting thing in balloons then I agree that is a distinct blessing...

It would be nice if that were so, as the roof-top lights are at such a low angle that they impair vision [ 20 years ago there was no floodlight glare in my eyes, now there is ] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,429 Posted May 26, 2021 New lights were installed in the ground 3 promotions ago for sky tv - for the super slo mo cameras . I reckon these new lights are for the ABBA concert in June 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,654 Posted May 26, 2021 When you consider the difference between our lights and those like, say, Luton’s already, you do wonder just how good they need to be....but I guess led is cheaper and (supppsedly) lasts longer. Ive never had an issue with our PA system, I guess it depends where you’re sat, though the worst I’ve experienced in recent years was at Wembley in the play-off final. Apparently we had a ‘sing-off’ with boro - who knew?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birchfest 397 Posted May 27, 2021 I for one am sick and tired of this board once again showing a lack of hambition and doing it on the cheap.... LED to save money? When will it ever end? I think if anything we should show some hambition and add an extra two pylons in the centre of the barclay and river end with the most energy inefficient and expensive bulbs going. Now THATS hambition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mello Yello 2,289 Posted June 4, 2021 Local rumour has it that due to the United Kingdom's unfortunate fluctuating covid travelling abroad restrictions this summer, NCFC are now installing ultraviolet bulbs into all the floodlights at Carra......The club has also purchased 250 sun loungers and have distributed these loungers 'socially distanced' on the stadium's pitch.....This will attract the no overseas vacation and non travelling Norfolk sun worshipping desperado demi-gods to top up their tans. Standard price of the hiring of a pitch sun lounger for an 8 hour stint will cost £30.00 with a 5% discount for club stockholders and the 'real' shareholders......A club spokesperson has intimated that as we're a 'self-funding club' all forms of raising extra club finance are pursued and deemed absolutely necessary.... Apparently Daniel Farke was up at 5.30 am this morning, and he was seen putting his large beach towel on the sun lounger situated on the pitch centre spot....
