It didn't take long.....

Birmingham can spend all this money on playing staff, but one of a handful of clubs to get away with this! 

 

The Hawk-Eye Goal Line Technology (GLT) system will not be operational at a number of Tuesday evening’s Sky Bet Championship matches.

GLT was introduced into the Championship at the start of the season and the system requires floodlighting levels in and around the goal area to be at a specified lux value. In situations where the value is not at the required level, the system is not guaranteed to be 100 per cent accurate. The same systems have been fully tested to work in natural light conditions.

However, as the second half of tonight’s games will be required to be played under floodlights, the EFL cannot be in a position to allow a situation to occur whereby the same conditions do not exist for the full 90 minutes.

The EFL is working with the clubs affected to find an appropriate solution, and anticipate any issues will be resolved in the coming weeks. Any goal line decisions at any of the grounds in question will be taken by the match officials.

Please note Wednesday’s Championship matches are unaffected.

Well let's hope decisions go against those who haven't invested in their floodlighting

Don't be tight. Barnsley are bad enough as it is.

We're of course assuming our floodlights are up to the required standard (they'd better be after the money SL spent on the ground!)

[Never to the dark side]

I presume we will have wait till the next mid week fixtures to see if the other teams have sufficient lighting

Also tking into account the late afternoon games
