Batman Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 first luke shaw tries to bed a tart and her sister, now this we are big time now COYR
Bobbyboy Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Thing is, they need to light up the pitch not the seats.
Grey Crab Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Great news! Now hopefully everyone slagging off Katherine Liebherr/Les Reed/Ralph Krueger can shut up.

Saint_Abroad Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Thing is, they need to light up the pitch not the seats. Not if the new kits also have LEDs on them!
Gemmel Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Probably worth adding that these aren't the actions of someone trying to cash in and sell. Significant investment.
Saint86 Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Glasgow can only wish he was as ITK as you Gemmel, instead he must bow down and worship
lifeintheslowlane Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 More to the point the 0.2% flicker rate will ensure none of our star players will want to leave the club. Well done to the board on standing firm on the subject of innovative stadium lighting.
angelman Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Wasn't the Dell the first stadium to have a competitive game under flood lights?
Smirking_Saint Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 There pretty dark though ?! Anything to do with Veho ? They're electronic etc ?
angelman Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Lock Disagree .... it's so earth shatteringly important, we need 2 threads.
Badger Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 But what about improving the catering, and the radio station ?
Matthew Le God Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 (edited) Chelsea are also having LED floodlights installed this summer... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1z8pnj_a-bright-future-at-the-bridge_sport Edited 23 June, 2014 by Matthew Le God

Matthew Le God Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Anything to do with Veho ? They're electronic etc ? Veho make speaker systems and gadgets, Saints are using a specialist LED lighting company... http://www.visionaccendo.com
Gemmel Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Glasgow can only wish he was as ITK as you Gemmel, instead he must bow down and worship LOL - I am most un ITK person you will meet...... gonna make the most of this one
Matthew Le God Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 (edited) Saints get new state of the art floodlights, Pompey get light floods.... Edited 23 June, 2014 by Matthew Le God

John B Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Wasn't the Dell the first stadium to have a competitive game under flood lights? Following the lifting of a FA ban the first competitive fixture played under floodlights was at the Dell on Monday 1st October 1951 when Southampton Reserves played Spurs Reserves in the Football Combination. There were of course games under floodlights before that but the FA had a ban in 1930 http://www.footballsite.co.uk/Statistics/Articles/DidYouKnow26.htm
Saint Garrett Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 It's a nice little improvement - not sure I understand any negativity about it.
richard Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Why aren't they pointed at the pitch? F'in disgrace.

SNSUN Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Oh I get it - pitch black! Arf. Also it stops us seeing which players have left us. Clever. Now we just need to avoid kick offs before 8pm.

Turkish Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 More evidence of the relentless drive of the owners. '

Certainly are - Google is your friend (other search engines are available)
VectisSaint Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 (edited) More evidence of the relentless drive of the owners. ' or evidence that we have to change due to requirements of the PL. I don't have a view which is correct, but there is a view here that we had no choice but to change to comply. "The new lighting system will be in place for the coming campaign with the club moving in line with Premier League requirements for a higher level of light output."

Katalinic Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Veho make speaker systems and gadgets, Saints are using a specialist LED lighting company... http://www.visionaccendo.com Don't get people on here started on speaker systems - the PA system has ruined many a matchday experience...apparently.
Saint George Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 If it's anything like it is over here then the tax payer will be paying for 30 - 50% of it in green energy incentives
pap Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Excellent news. I've destroyed my utility bill with low energy lighting. We can re-sign Tommy Forecast from Dartford using the savings. The dream is real.
alehouseboys Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Don't get people on here started on speaker systems - the PA system has ruined many a matchday experience...apparently. It is sh*t tho...I guess depending where you sit. Now if they installed mahoosive solar panels up on the roof to power those LEDs they could do us cheaper tickets with all that money they'd save...

Would it also be true, old timer, that them down the motorway had the first senior game under lights (or was it at WHL)? I could google but am too lazy.
TwoPints Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 Thing is, they need to light up the pitch not the seats. I think this is just a random picture of the Stadium as the Iights haven't been installed yet.

The top post said exactly that, thank you for repeating it ...
Miltonaggro Posted 23 June, 2014 Posted 23 June, 2014 If Lallana and Shaw leave after this announcement they're ****ing mental!...
rooney Posted 24 June, 2014 Posted 24 June, 2014 Don't get people on here started on speaker systems - the PA system has ruined many a matchday experience...apparently. The club told me two seasons ago that they were working on this.Perhaps they were waiting for the LED speakers to come in.
david in sweden Posted 24 June, 2014 Posted 24 June, 2014 Not if the new kits also have LEDs on them! then we'll be a shining example for the rest of the Prem. (sorry, bit early in the morning - isn't it ?)
Saint Fan CaM Posted 24 June, 2014 Posted 24 June, 2014 Well of course it's only going to be met with cries of derision from the usual suspects on here, but I for one am proud of the club to once again be leading the way ahead of all other clubs in the Prem.
Hatch Posted 24 June, 2014 Posted 24 June, 2014 Wont be long before the pikeys turn up and nick the LED off the roof.
