Just watched the highlights from Tuesday night. Is it me, or does the pitch actually look darker as a result of the new floodlights!? What do people who made it on Tuesday night think? |  | | |  |

I thought it looked darker too. I'm sure everything has been tested and the relevant meters used before they were signed off. |  | | |

I mentioned this on a thread last night, Floodies.
I was told that 3 of the floodlights have been done to date on Tues, but cannot confirm or deny whether that is true or not.
The pitch was generally not as bright as previous and there was definitely a couple of the corners which were notably darker, in particular the Mainstand/Sandy horseshoe which stood out from the TDS.
It will be a bit of trial and error I guess where each individual lamp points and if a 4th Floodlight is still to be done, it will be work in progress. |  |

The only problem is the end that they have definitely upgraded (Sandy Lane) is the end where the 2 big circular shadows are in the corners????? |  |

Hasn't each pylon been done now? They all appeared to have bulbs in a new 4-4-2 formation.
Presumably if the changes were made to meet the requirements of the FL/FA the overall brightness should improve? I actually thought it was a bit better the other night when totally dark as opposed to the semi-darkness of the Preston game when the shadows on the pitch* were more noticeable.
*cue inevitable lines about going all Bury and getting bands to Spotland. |  |

They'd be Hankering after the old ones (not the young ones) |  |

All 4 have been done now. I actually thought it was brighter in the main but with more noticeable shadows in the corners towards the Sandy Lane End. Could probably have done with putting a couple of the bulbs on the underside of the Willbutts roof to sort that out. |  |

I thought the Willbutts lane/TDS corner was in shadow and looking at the Sandy lane/main stand was noticable shadow didnt seem to notice it early seemed to appear the latter end of the match | | | |

I noticed the main stand/ sandy shadow early on, plus most the way down willbuts getting worse as it got nearer the sandy, But thought in the goal mouth pearl street end it actually looked brighter. B.it of fine tuning needed I think |  |

What we need is the old lights on the telegraph poles back. And the 40 watt bulb swaying over the goal posts. |  |

You're not wrong Stuart. It was nigh on impossible to see what was happening at the far end half the time. |  |
