  • A shining example of a bit of good business
  • Shortastic!

    Signings?
  • Perhaps they could do something about the wi-fi system as well.

  • Find the in stadium wifi thing a bit of a thing of the past, better 5G connectivity should be way forward

    Whatever they do they need to increase connectivity somehow!
  • It wouldn’t surprise me if they had other plans for the lights other than football. Boxing or concerts perhaps?

    Given the residents reaction to the fan zone I can’t imagine the uproar to concerts. Boxing seems more likely to me, think The Den hosted some recently?

    Was the last time they hosted Boxing there in 1994?

    So light show capability and enhanced PA maybe?

    I see no problem with fancy lights at all as all adds to the atmosphere. It certainly can’t detract. 

    Got to be good news. 
    Unless Doris on the 7th floor of Valiant House complains about being blinded around 7:40 every month or so and completely ruining her ability to watch EastEnders
  • We better be decent in the new season as counting how many flood lights were out while we were shite was the only thing that kept me amused during the winter games.

    All in all though, glad the club's investing in new lighting. It's a fantastic sign of the commitment from the board to be spending more to improve things.

    I'm guessing the new lighting isn't being paid for by the club. It's a free installation as part of the sponsorship deal.

    Smart move in that case!

    Subsidised rather than free I would guess - the value to them of their sponsorship is unlikely to be the entire cost of replacing a football stadium's lighting.

    Yeah, a full premier league set up costs north of million, so this won’t be as expensive; but not the price of a back of short sponsorship

    Has anyone mentioned the problem with the wifi/sound?

    Sadly a premier league team would choose between two or three seriously good companies based on their installs at other stadia for a complete PAVA replacement whereas a freshly promoted to the championship club might put out a rushed tender to pick the cheapest local sparky to do it for them….

    It is good but not let’s not get too carried away. 

    @sw@Swisdom said the requirements are higher in this division so it’s arguably the ‘cost of doing business’ and why we get more central income.

    If it was only one fan wanted to use it, it wouldn’t be a problem.
  • It’s not a case of “commitment to investment”. It’s a case of having to do it.

    there are grants available from the EFL to help with the cost but you were restricted to “preferred suppliers” and the grant was only available if you could prove you had 10 years of agreed tenancy agreements on the ground.  Somewhere we were failing when I was looking into this.

    That many people all trying to use it to stream Facebook videos and upload pictures etc at the same time takes some SERIOUS bandwidth.  The cost of that vs how often it actually gets used (180 minutes a week tops) is in no way ever going to be financially worth it.  5G is still limited by the frequency range it uses, bearing in mind towers local to each other have to use different bits of the range to avoid colliding with each other.
  • This Bulb has stood the test of time. Taken from the original floodlights, at the Valley. They're welcome to borrow it if it helps :-)


    So it was you up the floodlight in 1984 (last game). 🤣
