Our Floodlights

[bluemoonmatt]

They really are an embarrassment, it really can't be just me who thinks this. They are far too bright and there's far too many of them, they illuminate the whole pitch easily, I long for the days where the corners were a bit darker, and why oh why do we have to attach them to the roof, its like some planning monkey just followed what everyone else was doing. We are innovating so much but have done absolutely nothing about this issue. Our lights used to be a source of great pride among us blues, now I just think they're nothing short of amateurish.

Do you mean when they were the tallest in the world? ;-)

Yeah you know, you could seem for fucking miles, now what do we have, its shit really unnacceptably shit. Look at West Hams inverted triangular lights, I reckon when Guns and Roses were deciding on their UK venue the lights were a dealbreaker.

After the ball boys they are our biggest disgrace, I just don't know how the players play with all that brightness.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I like those floodlights. They don't need to track back, they're never gonna miss a pen and they won't pass back and leave Claudio stranded.

Fuck me!

Not as embarrassing as our defence.

 

[the_invisible_man]

This is the real reason for our terrible home form. Defenders simply can't see when the opposition hoof it long over the top. All their striker needs to do is keep his head down, run onto the ball and slot past the blinded Bravo. Get rid!

"They are far too bright"

Dimmer switch,it's the way forward.

Can we send them on loan to Sunderland with an option to buy at the end of the season

Wait, is this not a parody thread?

Quite agree. Used to treat boring night games as a chance to catch up on some kip but no chance of doing that with those fuckers shining in your eyes.

Still waiting for some fucker to climb up on matchday. I remember a reserve game early 80's I think against Bradford where somebody was up there threatening to jump at J block. Eventually the cops just said to switch them on, the fucker soon game down sweating with a tan.

Is this thread a metaphor for life?

Have we switched out to LED or still using Halogen? Think of the cost savings? we would easy pass FFP with the reduced eleccy bill alone

I'd imagine the up front cost of installing LED units with at least an IP65 rating would be fairly steep and we wouldn't reap the benefits of running costs until after the end of next season.

Plus, we'd hear shit like "halogens were the last thing that needed replacing", "LEDs won't work in the Premier League" and "halogens would have illuminated that".

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

It does seem strange that our dip in home form has come since the lights have been on for the games. Every time we have been done by a ball over the top. Could it be that our defenders are struggling to pick the flight of the ball as it drops down out of the light? Or is it just because they are shit?

 

[BlueKolarovWorker]

That explains it. It's the bloody lights that are making me:

• not sing at home games
• not be able to get a drink or pie at half time
• not have enough points for the big away matches.
• leave 10 minutes early (to miss traffic, attend a wedding, catch the final of I'm a celeb)

I knew none of these things were my own fault, I just didn't know why!!
