Walsall Football Club - So Many Issues

The effect of the new floodlights looks worse on tv/video footage than in reality but it is still quite patchy with some parts of the pitch looking darker than others.

Checked out some of the other L2 highlights on Sky website and we’re not the only club with this issue.

I think they are patchy in reality.

I dont’t understand why the touchlines are so dark when there are lights pointing directly down at them.

Sat in the OAP stand against Huddersfield the lights were blinding, shining into the stand. It must be awful for the players. I saw a few shielding their eyes last night.

I note that Scunthorpe removed the lights from their doppelganger ground, replacing them with tall single stem pylons in each corner.

As someone on here said a week or two back, Trotters Independent Trading must have been given the upgrade contract.

I agree and said that above but it looks even worse on telly.

They don’t appear to be an upgrade. Yesterday was my first night match since they were introduced and the centre circle and 6 yard boxes are well lit, then it just gets darker the more you move away from those areas.

Well they obviously must meet the relevant EFL minimum light requirement and therefore they are providing enough light overall. So is the issue not that there are dark patches but too well lit ones in some parts of the pitch?

After the first 20 minutes last night, I wished they’d turned the bloody lights off altogether…

Seriously , If the floodlights are no better than when we had them upgraded, and that was not too long ago I might add, and at alarming costs we’re led to believe , then surely someone needs holding to account, either the people that have passed them off, or the people that undertook the project in the first place.

When you’re actually at the ground I personally don’t think it looks all that different lighting wise, nor does it look as bad as when you watch the highligths back.

What if the person has left the club? :woozy_face:

Very true Steve never gave that any consideration, that is if that person is no longer employed by the club that is …

Not so much an issue more a question.

The club are advertising this on their social media (Faceache and the mystery app formerly known as Twit) - x.com

OK, so you download the app, create an account and … no sign of the stadium kiosks in the list of places you can order from. And on the screens by the kiosks there isn’t an option to input your account. So how are you supposed to use the app to order in the ground and/or get the first order discount? :thinking:

Why are they making it so hard to buy a match programme?
Only place outside the ground is by the main entrance, with dodgy WIFI, so everyone has to wait while the transaction goes through.
Gave up on that queue, so looked in the shop and big queue in there too, so went in the hub and none available.

PS. Rant over, my mate just phoned me from the Locker, saying there are some in there, so he is getting me one. :slight_smile: Cheers Pez.

Can get one from the ticket office mate :+1:t2:

Saw the queue for a programme, ridiculous.

I was there about 6:30 and the bloke was still waiting for the card machine.

You can get them from any of the bars not just the Locker.

I did try the bar in the Hub before kick off, but they had all gone. Went back at half time, to see if they had re-stocked and still none.
As @Cats, says they can be got from the ticket office, but then you’ve got to queue with people buying tickets, which is the same as queuing at the bar with folks waiting for a beer.
Just seems like it is more difficult to spend money, when it’s been so simple in the past.

It seems it wasn’t just our club that had this silly idea….

That wasn’t really going to happen was it … :astonished: :astonished: how embarrassing, did someone really think of doing that? :man_facepalming:

I don’t care how huge a team is. Doing half and half scarves is bad enough but then doing them for just a bog standard league game like it’s something special is taking the pee. :face_vomiting:
