I still think our floodlights are not correct, there seems to be a problem with the light distribution, while some games ago we were treated to a flickering effect on the pitch during a game at Plainmoor.
I do know the local man who put the lights up went and checked everything over and stated that no problems were found. This was reported in the Herald Express and I did not believe it when it said flickering would only be caused by a typhoon.
Well we did not have one in Torquay the day the lights flickered, but maybe the wind speed up around the lights is much higher.
Today I noticed that there where areas on the pitch where the light was brighter than other parts. On the away end part of the pitch to the left of the goal and all the way up to the popside, the grass there was lit so much more than where I was standing.
I could not tell if it was the same near the family stand, but all floodlight games I have ever been to in any ground, the pitched looked the same lighting all over it. Did any one else notice it? I did point it out to Ant who fully agreed with me. I know we had to have new lights as the lux on the old ones was too low, but I still think the were far better than the ones we have now.
