We're not having any, part of the planning permission, games can only be played during daylight hours, to prevent any interference with bats.

Maybe we could all bring torches to the night games.

The Goldstone ones are still in mothballs as they are still trying to find the key to the container, once this has been found the installation will begin behind each corner

If they still haven't found them by mid March they are gonna use the Withdean ones. This club has a Plan B in place for everything these days.

Fraid so fella, evening games are to be played at Withdean. News was on the website
He's right. And to make matters worse, we're only going to be able to use the north stand as the south will be removed in the summer.

Stop the wind up. Night games will only be played away from home is my understanding of the planning permission (article 16).

The bats will all be collected up prior to each game and kept in a shed, being released after the crowds have gone. The car park is configured such that car headlights may be used to illuminate the pitch with the AA on standby to deal with all the flat batteries after the game.

You lot are just on a wind up. You know they are using nocturnal solar arrays to light the 4,500,000 LEDS that will be used

Let's be honest though, he didn't say when are the floodlight 'pylons' going to be erected, just the floodlights which of course everyground has.
Personally, the modern lights around the roof are not as welcoming as when you drive to an away game and you can see the pylons in the distance and you know you're almost there.

No they're not. Next season we are going be sponsored by Freeplay and as part of the deal, spectators will be offered the opportunity to wind up the floodlights, which will be totally rechargable, in the hour before the game starts.
this is designed to replacce the litter patrols at Witdean, and will be known as the Falmer Flickering.
if you've been to a presentation you will have seen the an example of the new floodlights and the new "Glo-Ball" that we will be using and the shirts that will incorporate blue and white flourescent stripes

Ah now you are talking nostalga. I remember in the days before Sat Navs when I went with my dad to Brighton away games the best way to find the away ground was to head towards the pylons like a moth to a lightbulb. Those were the days, oh and then you used to stand in pools of piss whilst you peed against a wall!!!

Basically my understanding is that those who are lucky enough to have parking spaces have to park facing the stadium and leave their lights on full beam. This should give just enough light.
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
And how many times did you end up at an anonymous set of railway sidings? Mind you, the sidings/sheds at Sehurst are more attractive than the football "stadium".
Whooooosh.
