Floodlights 10:14 - Oct 21 with 11706 viewssuperhoopdownunder

What is going on - parts of the ground appear to be in the dark.

I heard Lee Hoos mention there was some problem recently.

In the ground does it appear light enough to play?

It looks terrible on television (for us fans overseas)

I would have thought getting this fixed would be a priority

I might be in the minority here but I quite like the new mood lighting.

It reflects the ambience of being at Loftus Road...Old cramped stadium but I wouldn't want it any other way.

I bloody love the place!!

Hmmmm
So apparently it's all better than before but we just haven't realised.
Something doesn't quite add up here.

Wish the back 5 were as good at defending as those light experts.

So it's simply a light 'focusing' problem - therefore still a.....problem...

What doesn't add up is that, as I said before, there IS a minimum standard that the EFL stipulate.

As the club says we meet/exceed that, and even if you don't believe them, then why has no referee, referee's assessor, the EFL or any of our opponents ever complained about it?

Following this club is such an odd experience. Do other clubs have statements like this?

Except that this should be far more than just a box ticking exercise.
So what if it meets the 'minimum' required standard
Surely we should be aiming for something much better than the minimum in everything we do as a club
It looks absolutely shit.

I don't buy this. They say we're achieving 1454 lumens but I only counted 1378 at the last match. Something very fishy going on here.

If it looks darker than before its actually because its brighter now. Case closed.

I cannot read in bed using the LED ceiling light I have to use a lamp.

I never had this problem with the old light bulbs that got banned, the light refracted nicely off me on to t'page.

Maybe we are not refracting enough (is it that one or the other one? Science fracks my head)

Aren't they saying it's way over the minimum required standard? The average Lux value must be 800 and we are averaging 1454.

It seems pretty straight forward to me.

The lighter bits are lighter than the darker bits because the darker bits are as light as the lighter bits were and the lighter bits are lighter than they were which makes the darker bits look darker, but they are actually as light as they were but now appear darker.

Ha ha. It’s like we have a drunk bloke on spotlights trying to identify who is worth watching.

If those darker bits are as bright as last year’s pitch or above the league level, i’m a Dutchman.

Unfortunately, Hoos is in a comfort zone is in his role and has been allowed to give up on the stadium - simple as! 'Statements' like this just take the piss, really, and shouldn't be taken seriously by any fans of intelligence. If it's beyond the CEO to source and pay for competent electricians, he should examine his position, or someone else should. What I dislike as a fan is being treated as an idiot. If it quacks like a duck, it's a f*cking duck.

Lights were perfect tonight, too perfect in fact as the linesman ruled offside a perfectly good goal and then our penalty takers were so blinded by the light(Bruce Springsteen or better cover version by Manfred Mann) that they blasted their penalties into the night sky.

As I mentioned before, if each player has four shadows then the lighting is inadequate. I may comply with all the 'lux' (thought that was soap) standards in the world, but they are still inadequate.

it feels more like searchlights in the blitz trying to pick out the bombers for the anti aircraft guns

its just sub standard whatever technical nonsense the club want to put out as an explanation and it should surely have been spotted and dealt with earlier.

Wow that is fairly damning.

As mentioned elsewhere, most stadiums these days seem to have the lights around the tops of the stands, rather than mounted on posts in each corner.

Can't say I saw anything wrong with the lighting last night. From my seat in the Upper Loft anyway.

The floodlights still seem very poor. It's like we're playing in the dark.

It seems to be areas. The centre of the pitch looks much better than the goal ends
