It's not just the bulbs, it's the lighting units. All the old square units have been removed and each pylon now is home to 10 new round units that throw out a ridiculous amount of light. Bearing in mind the previous floodlights were installed during Hoddles reign, this upgrade is long overdue, and only happened after pressure on the club from the Football League. Either way it should brighten up The County Ground on these cold winter Tuesday nights.

This can't be right, it would require the club spending money (quite a lot I would imagine) which some would have you believe doesn't happen....

OK, shit comms/PR from the club. Valid point in general, though that horse bolted over the summer. Not much to say at the moment. Oh wait, NT had a groin scan today, hoped if all is as expected he's still on track to make Christmas or New year games.

Fuck me, that's mental if true. Presumably we HAD to do it to meet regs rather than just a bit of pressure - think I read speculation to that effect on here before that we were below the stated min lux. Buggered if I'd voluntarily blow 1/4 million on some bulbs and tinfoil anyway.

I'd forgotten about it too, but now I'm excited for the next game under the floodlights Scoreboard next?

Weird, I was stuck in traffic on Drove Road last night and the floodlights were on and I noticed quite a few bulbs not working on the lights by the Town End.

Perhaps the new ones are so super bright that you need less of them. Hence it looks like some are missing. Or they've blown already. Blood Wilko value bulbs.

Only one more Tuesday night home match this season unless we get some postponements due to the weather. Doncaster on 1st March

It's new but it's not been working. The other week the time was actually going backwards. I'm surprised by the lack of evening fixtures but there will be postponements, plus it's dark enough for floodlights on Saturdays this time of year
