One Team Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 If anyone from the club is reading this can you PLEASE turn off the stand lighting tomorrow night? Its more important than ever we have a superb atmosphere on a crucial night game and having the stand lights on the whole time ruins that night game experience. It will also look crap on TV! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Old Boy Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I think this as been brought up before and the response was that it's out of the club's hands, as it's a health & safety issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has and that was stated as a perception but being looked into. It was widely derided as 'bollocks' by many on here with lots of us having been to night away games where the stand lights are turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a bins wearer it drives me insane as the refelection is awful. It also doesn't help the atmosphere as well. Like playing in someone's front room! Have tweeted City about it before but no reply.

David Brent Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 If you go to a concert in an arena (not in Bristol) you sit in the dark. Poor and easy excuse to claim 'health and safety' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect it's the same 'health and safety' that meant people couldn't stand in the South Stand for 2 years because of the rake but funnily enough it's now ok now it suits! I.E. bull$hit!!

ChippenhamRed Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 The health and safety aspect just doesn't add up for me. What about music concerts where the entire crowd is in darkness? Or, for a sporting example, something like the tennis at the O2 - totally dark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened in the Norwich game, Norwich were bearing down on goal and suddenly the boards lit up a very bright blue colour. It was absolutely blinding and I'm sure it put the Norwich player off.

I thought it was last season as well? Another thought, could it have something to do with the rugby, as people are going outside every five minutes during the game and bring drinks back in. Perhaps we can only have one policy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
