Yes, the original game , which we were well behind when dense fog came down causing the game being called off, and as you say, the rearranged game we won beneath the new lights.

| Quote vastman="vastman"All the pylons are in the same place as the existing ones, it’s just new pylons and lights and nothing else or at least that’s what I was told.
The only issue with the old lights was that the bulbs were hard to get and the lighting rig had degraded making them unreliable.
The new=#FF0000 halogen lamps use a fraction of the power, start up within second and last forever. They are also brighter.
The big plus is that they make renting out the 4G pitch profitable where as the existing wouldn’t.
Relatively small step as regards first team games but a massive step regarding improved revenue.'"
Are the new ones halogen as I thought they would be LED ??

Indeed. Cas are still seem to be using the ones like our original tripod tower lights from the 60s.
Weren't ours seen as dangerous as they were too close to the field and also not bright enough for sky?

No ours were set much further back than theirs, ours were behind the east stand of memory serves me. They certainly wernt pitch side.
I think ours were condemned as they were corroded?

You're right, they were at the back of the east stand and in line with the front of the west stand. A good distance from the field. Just had a look on the Trinity Heritage site. Amazing how your memory plays tricks. Maybe conflating with Cas' lights.
So, potentially another memory failure, were they condemned when the council owned the stadium? Or was that the west stand? Or neither?
