I hope Mr Straker's confidence is well-founded.

The moment someone says "We'll carry on regardless" funders will walk away with the view they'll help projects which need the money more.
Perhaps the Football Foundation operates differently.
A very good point...

Extremely good point. If the football foundation saw that then they will probably think " Well theyve got a millionairre owner and they are willing to do it themselves so lets build Swindon Supermarine a new stand"

Will this be an LED system? (benefits are that LED systems are more efficient, less maintenaance, lower operating costs and last 5 times longer)
Is the system League 2 ready? (500lux)
Hoping Spirit can get the answers to these questions.

All the photo examples seem to be of tennis courts, 5 aside pitches etc...
I wonder what football clubs they've supplied lighting to.

Good point that, the number of times I've been to matches and said to people "those floodlights look shit".

Are you really serious, you have been to away games and looked at wether the floodlights looked good or not. Have a few more beers and enjoy the game.

500 lux, appropriate for league 1.
Sorry it took a while Jonty, it completely went out of my mind!
