Undersoil lighting! What an idea, if you can make it work you'll make your fortune and just think how much easier it will be to change the bulbs!

You’re all looking at this the wrong way... the tea lady told me this is all part of the master plan for promotion.

A meeting was held at boardroom level and it was decided to not replace the floodlights and let them stop working. Meanwhile lorry loads of carrots have been delivered to the tong training ground with the lads munching away ferociously.

We will be running rings around the oppo as they scramble around in the dark. We in the crowd won’t be able to see it mind...

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/

Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!

Surely the Academy are producing Bright Young Lamps which now are morphing into L.E.D's? The Club could utilise these and thus reduce costs!

I see what's happening here! Changing the ticketing system so only punters with modern smartphones can attend...
Modern smartphones with bright LED lights that can be shone towards the pitch...
It's genious! :IDEA:

Also it would be good if we got them flashy boots that lights flash whenever you run, this way we could pass to each other even in darkness, and the opposition would not know where we were or whoi had the ball, until too late.

I understand the bulbs cost north of a grand a pop so if we need a few dozen, there's the problem.

Maybe we should start a bulb fund? :D

Re: Floodlights : Tue Jan 16, 2018 11:22 am  
I've heard there is plotting from our opponents with regard to playing without floodlights- even though this is quite legal under RFL rules which state that " a few candles in each corner" should suffice for Division 3". They seem to think that the rule which stipulates that, "an official should be ready to re-light any candles which are blown out", is a bit vague for such an open, and let's be honest, windy ground as Odsal, and that we might only ne willing to pay for one official, so as to make the ground as dark as possible. However their ruse of only agreeing to play if there is a bell in the ball should be strongly resisted as there is absolutely no such provision under the match rules for this.

I think that RFL objections are silly too. The idea that the referees would be unable to spot knock-ons and forward passes is utterly ludicrous as it is already accepted that they won't be spotted in full sunshine in the middle of July, let alone a bit of twilight.

I understand not even willing to pay for one. Instead they're going to buy a special scanner that detects the lack of light and heat from the candle and re-lights it. However it's unlikely that said scanner will work properly, so they'll have a steward pop down and just wave a match at it in that case.

Re: Floodlights : Tue Jan 16, 2018 12:44 pm  
A Trin fan here, we switched to 3pm from 3:30pm kickoffs to cut down on lighting costs, i'm told. How many sh*ts would be given if you kicked off at 2pm on Sundays for the next 2 years, didn't use floodlights and bought a better player instead?

For the Toronto game can we all bring fork handles each, that should be enough to light up the ground
