There was something mentioned in the supporters forum thread about investment made by the club in the lighting. Long overdue imo.

I have been in arena conference rooms recently and observed people on wires around the ground, i assumed this was the light replacements so i reckon this is complete

The light show specifically probably isn't a requirement, but there are Premier League specifications which I don't think we met previously.

A good light show looks good for night matches. It all adds to the show !

That’s far worse than the lights - however the advertising hoarding is better than the lights

I like a good light show, don't know why people are acting like it's a Pink Floyd gig. It's a few LED lights, some of you are so miserable!

I prefer it when people don't watch the game and just wave their phone about.

I remember an Arsenal cup game at their premier stadium when the lights went off - and the phones lit up
The place - didn’t make any difference still lost by a lot of goals

I wish the stadium had floodlight pylons, it would give the stadium a bit of identity. Was at Edgbaston the other week and thought how good they looked. Perhaps I'm a stadium geek but you couldn't beat walking up to Highfield Rd or Filbert St etc in the evening with these pylons in the distance

I seem to remember Doug King cooing over the pyrotechnics before the Wolves FA Cup game. Surely he’s exactly the kind of guy who would want a big old American-style light show before every night game.

We had some pyro last season.

It was priddy.
