Everyone is getting a torch on the way in. Please bring our own batteries and return them to the turnstiles on leaving. If you have to leave early then please give them to the supporter next to you so as not to diminish the light. If arriving late you will now be told where to stand by a steward to ensure maximum lightage on the pitch.

The problem of fans changing ends at half-time has been considered and it was decided that as the goal we are attacking will be well lit then no action is necessary.

Don`t just give us half a story Trek, what are the exact Lux lighting levels of all the grounds we have visited (for night games only of course) starting with Crawley Green, in date order please not alphabetical
I look forward to studying your findings ;)
Piss taking aside, would sadly have to on this occasion have to agree with you (no fun in that) the lights were very good, could see everything even in driving rain, though one question, even with lights that good why was the Desborough keepers shadows only 1.236m long :lol:

Funny I noticed this last night as well, have always thought the D&D lights were a bit dim, though it doesn't really matter at this level does it?

Attendance now confirmed as 258 - which almost exactly matched the head count we made.

Is that all, it seemed more, but, that was probably because we were all huddled under the cover, hiding from the dismal weather. I think 200 must have been Diamonds fans. 8-)
