Here's the latest I can find. Sadly, they've moved the camera slightly, so you can't see the new floodlights. Harrumph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_kxhehjwo I was looking at the back of it from my vantage point on a hill in Hyde Park today and the white panelling now covers the entirety of the stand.

Got to say it’s going to be an impressive stadium when finished, quite imposing! Just a shame about the Western end

I’ve an abundance of nostalgia about our floodlights. I’m going to contact the club to see if I could have one of them to put in my back garden

Didn’t the old ones get replaced/updated early 90’s?

1987

Making the "new" ones 31 years old



Bloody hell!

Bloody hell that long ago, though it was about 4 years after. Didn't they change the bulbs aswell in the last 10 years or so?

Any experts on acoustics/PA systems able to advise how effective or not this will be...?

Don't see the point of having "crowdlift" on the north side. Will definitely be needed on the south side if the "atmosphere" this season is anything to go by. Any noise from the south stand just dissapates into the night, and I stand on the southern end of the western terrace, only half a football pitch away from the people trying to make noise! The drum carries, but nothing else. Also they will turn off the amplification when there's too much cussing in the songs. SKY will have access to the mixing desk too so the tv won't sound so eerie when they cut the fans. Wakey had a similar system in the 80's which they would use to cue the fans into chanting, definitely the kind of tin-pot thing that suits RL

How utterly embarrassing

Wow. How embarrassing. They know they've destroyed the South Stands atmosphere so they've put this monstrosity into place? Christ.



The South Stands atmosphere will never be the same. Everyone just needs to accept that.

It will never be exactly the same, but with a large standing terrace, once fully open, should still provide a great atmosphere, with much improved facilities.
