owls-swfc Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Yes it did light up, but the neon elements occasionally failed on random letters Cost too much to maintain so eventually removed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gave you a great feeling and a special atmosphere. I have some photos somewhere I took at night, I'll try and dig them out. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly takes me back to some of those cracking big attendance night matches in the 80s. The six floodlight pylons certainly created a dramatic scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not the same with the modern pitch lighting, the floodlight towers created an amazing atmosphere, could see ,em for miles and gave the night games a different feeling somehow. 6 "nobody told me there would be days like these!"
