Stan Dupowls Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Wednesdays lights used to look great, finishing touch to a real arena....most grounds had ugly crappy ones, like at the sty. I find that The newer trend of lights on the stadium roof dazzle you more when at a night game ‘cos the light doesn’t come from high above as it did from the massive floodlights. I remember they used to take 15 minutes to fully “warm up”! Many winter Saturday matches they’d turn them on during the game as the daylight faded. To a young kid, seeing these things glow into life was often as enjoyable as the division 3 game on the pitch. Good memories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Watching Wednesday under the lights is one of my most vivid and cherished memory of my youth. Walking down Herries Road seeing the floodlights first is like spotting Blackpool tower driving in on the M55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
