I can’t understand why we put the flood lights on second half yesterday.

To burn money, and upset the fanbase?

It makes a mockery of the proposed 1 PM kick-offs during the winter months. During the middle of winter it will be darker all day long a lot of days than it got before 5pm yesterday.

Can only think the ref requests it at half time if he deems it’s too dark in some of the corners to judge fouls or whatever.
Does feel ridiculous to play any weekend game at 1pm before clocks go back anyway.

Apparently the ref requested they be put on.
On TV?
Nope, it’s not on TV as Hull v Luton is live on Sky on Friday.
Mouth watering tie between 20th place and 11th then, I’ll be rushing home for that…

If using floodlights becomes more expensive the club needs to except that
3 oclock kick offs are very important for the social side of saturdays.Suck it up like we’re all having to do.Perhaps we should kick off at 5.30 am in May.

Looks like they decided not to jump on Mansfield’s bandwagon - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63081722
Common sense,well done for reading my above post and acting on it.
There’s a piece in todays Express & Star around this and says that another factor in making kick offs earlier is that if the away team has to travel a fair distance, they won’t want to be setting off very early morning then playing, which could force them into having to pay for an overnight stay, so then they won’t agree to moving the kick-off earlier anyway if it’s going to cost them.
