On a positive note I observed the Floodlights getting upgraded as I went past the ground yesterday. Small steps and all that but definitely one in the right direction.

They best work on Sunday if they are needed otherwise it will be Chester's fault !!

What a stupid comment

Good went past on Monday still 4 pylons up, are the new lights on new pylons?

No it was a funny comment, get a grip.

Sorry i must of forgot to laugh

Obviously.

No it looked like a rewire for the LED lights. Used a large telehoist I presume the posts will have undergone checks etc.

You're wrong the floodlights are being replaced not tarted up, first complete new pylon, wires and lamps being bolted down today, only three more and they'll be done

Are you getting some before and after photos?

I’m surprised and disappointed that the club has not put any photos or information regarding the installation of the new floodlights. The new lights are a positive news story, an indication of the start of the stadium redevelopment, I know the new roof has been completed on the old cats bars, but not seen that officially announced by the club, sorry to say that whoever is in charge of club publicity, needs to up their game.

Don't suppose there's anything to show until the 1st new one is completed. Just troll bait if it's a nearly finished job.

We were actually quite lucky, the electrical power boxes were well installed the first time and are still serviceable and are being kept, saved us a fair bit of cash.

I find it oddly tragic that in 30 years the only major investments at BV have been floodlights

There's the Benidorm Flats which generate us a fair bit of income, and the North Stand made such a huge difference to the match day atmosphere.

But yeah, not much else, pretty poor really but sounds like we are on the right track these days.

"But what have the Romans ever done for us?"

fed us to the lions??


oh and to Cas twice a season.....

poor sods

two days of rain

it never rains but......

The future is looking brighter already

Were the Benidorm Flats only ever originally built for temporary use or am I going nuts?

Well, the jury is still out on the nuts thing


But you are right that it was originally a short term solution that became more beneficial as time went on.
It's not bad in there. I wouldn't rush to replace compared to the rest but it will be nice to have that level of hospitality within a good quality stand.

I agree - perhaps offer cheaper hospitality in the flats and hopefully when the other stand is built, be able to charge more of a premium.

Every little helps with the revenue knowing Lord Carts like I do

On the plus side we’ve not lost a game since the new lights have been installed!

They were only temporary as I recall,Mary, and did we not default on the payment for them? I think we were told to "Keep 'em" in the end as they would be too expensive to take away.

I seem to recall that was the year we went bust. I think we came to an agreement with the company that owned the flats. It was CVA, we agreed to pay some small percentage in the £, as you say, the company decided it wasn’t worth the cost of removing the flats, it would have been morel than the monies recovered from Trinity.
