Greavsy 2,606 Posted July 25, 2022 Haven't the lights been upgraded? Maybe they are testing the new installation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarydan23 4,701 Posted July 26, 2022 I noticed that yesterday. They often have two of them on, I assumed that was to light the pitch to give nice views for people dining in Delia's. But last night all four were on. They light up those garish flats behind the River End, bet the residents in there get a bit cheesed off. Still, the stadium and floodlights were there long before the acid-consuming architect had even dreamed them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should cover the roof of the stand with solar panels to power them. I know it's a pretty long term option and an expensive outlay but for something that only needs powering 40-50 times a year I'm sure a deal with a power company could be made. Gotta be looked into if they ever redevelop the ground. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
