Where do the extra subs sit now then?
There was 17 floodlights not working when we played Southampton and yesterday wasn't this supposed to be an upgrade due to playing in the Championship

We have until 22nd October where we play Derby at night to replace the floodlights. Cup games do not require the upgrade.

We don't need to certify the setup until the end of November if we haven't already provided the requisite certification.
I thought for ages that our lights were quite dim, so we will see an improvement.

Good that they are targeting affected fans.

Roof looks lower than before:
Looks like the tunnel has been tarted up too.

Do we sell those 4 rows of 2 by the side of the dugouts? Looks an obstructed view from the pic.

Looks a bit smart for a sh*thole. 
Liking the angle of the new lights, few quids worth there.
Wonder who paid for them?

Looking forward to the light shows when the nights draw in. Particularly at full time after a hard won victory.
Big spotlight on Des, rose between his teeth. Waltzing round the pitch with the man of the match. The tannoy belting out Strauss’ Blue Danube.
Marvellous.

Seems only the North Stand lights have been upgraded?

Maybe that is all that was required to reach the illumination threshold?
Casts more light towards the Dark Side (aka The South Stand)?

I saw someone complain to Tim about their view being obscured by the new dug outs. He said they were aware of the issue. Not sure if that means they will do anything about it. To be fair to him, Tim seemed quite comfortable to chat to the firms

My understanding is that all season ticket holders in the immediate vicinity of the dug outs had been spoken to. I guess that some many have not realised the impact until arriving though.
We will just direct those lights at McEachrans mouth, get him to smile and the whole of Greater Leys will be gloriously lit up.
Could see all the wires hanging down from lights on the right (East) side of the North stand so can't be finished yet.
If they make the dug outs any lower, only limbo dancers will gain entry

Surely the old dugouts would have obscured the view any way?

Yes, I saw this too. My understanding is that the dug outs have been widened to accommodate the increase in substitutes and support staff in the Championship, but they had not been made significantly higher.
This individual appears to have tweeted at length regarding the game without referencing the view until he posted this 3 or 4 hours later. I would therefore hope that it is just frustration about the change rather than something which actually prevents vision of 50% of the pitch.
I'm sure the club will look at options to assist him, but unfortunately we know that the stadium is not fit for purpose and the changes needed this season will not always be perfect for all.

Hope the skip on the pitch perimeter can be removed soon. Although saying that, the stadium appears to demotivate the championship Billy Big b*****s from the opposition that visit so perhaps we should keep it a little rough round the edges!

That’s a very valuable skip, I’ll have you know. It permanently has five police officers guarding it 24/7.

Let away fans take the p**s about our car park and skip. The joke is on them when they have to go home after getting beaten by the mighty yellows.
