Is the system League 2 ready? (500lux)

Hoping Spirit can get the answers to these questions.
500 lux, appropriate for league 1.

Noticed there was a couple of scaffold company vans outside ground yesterday.

Mall, they've been down in the last week doing whatever floodlight installers do pre the actual installing of them. The plan is for them to be up and running for the end of June.
I'll keep this topic updated as soon as I hear a specific date.

Al, the scaffold company have been erecting some staging under the main stand (in the GMA) for the painters to remove the old paint off the stand steelwork and re-paint with an up to date fireproof paint to bring it all up to current fire regs.

Ian do you know if the middle section of the main stand steelwork is being shot blasted and treated over summer. To finish that job off?

According to a previous article in the paper planning permission needs to be sought for the floodlights

Can't see an application on the Barrow council website

Provisionally booked to start on the 9th June Jonty.

You'll be safe from falling bits of rust for the new season....

Ian, do you know what size of shot is being used. And what make of paint is being put on. Also what size brushes. Jesus wept.

GT Blue- Why are you trying to derail the thread with another of your inane rants. Sometimes adding to the conversation or simply ignoring it is better than going out of your way to contribute absolutely nothing. Is there a reason for this?

Was meant to be a light hearted joke.It obviously did"nt reach your chuckle muscle Jonty .Some just post any old twaddle. Like what size light bulbs in the floodligjts etc. Good grief. The work will be done before the season starts ! Why bother Ian every 5 minutes.If there is anyhing to report to the fans I'm sure Ian will let us know. He has a life to lead just like everyone else. Contribution over.

Decent contribution on a number of threads gets derailed and people are reluctant to join the forum and post or get driven off the the forum altogether because things get derailed through utter garbage. It would be better if you just choose to ignore when you think it's twaddle and let others have the discussion. No harm done hey.

I shall do my very best just for you. Would hate to ruin such riveting conversations.
By the way, just drove past the club and the floodlights are still there. Is that ok.
