Just driven by the ground and the new floodlights look very futuristic.
Anyone know the story behind the changes, tv deals maybe ?

Sure one of the Kirk?s said in a post season interview they were being done. Presumably more efficient etc as the lights used seem to have come on leaps and bounds since they were installed as part of the new ground back in 2010.
See a lot of them now used as part of pre game build up like at Chelsea when we played there.

I presume its something to do with the law change for business lighting, where all bulbs have to be low energy/heat by the of 2025 I think, the company I work for has been busy changing all the bulbs in and outside of the factory...
all we are saying, is give us ...a goal, or 2+

Maybe a stipulation by the FL that the lights have to be a certain Lux ( measurement of light) and ours didn't meet the criteria or maybe we just felt like upgrading them.

Pretty sure the originals were up to spec bearing in mind we?ve hosted various midweek England age group games.

Just new bulbs, pylons still the same.

New light fittings, not just bulbs but retained the pylons.

Apparently, when we score, they can be switched to rotating strobe lighting with filters for a 'Saturday night Fever' effect.

Far from that Jon, they look to be in clusters of 6 with new backing panels.
God I hate this league.

What time did we kick off in the pre lights games at Saltergate. Was it 2pm? I remember there were games where it was getting dark near the end.

Didn't we get our first lights secondhand from Sheffield United on the understanding that they were free if we shifted them.

Yes, they were eventually moved to the pitch in Eckington, as kids we could play at the side of the pitch in the evening under lights while Northern Intermediate side was training
