Good honesty by Central . Their lighting is not good enough , South is not much better to be honest.I have been saying the lighting is poor for ages . Norwoods is now finaly upto scratch.

The irony of Wests having excellent lighting would be appreciated by Pseudo... are they bright enough to illuminate the toilets?

I found West's lights to be similar to ours IMO. I can see similar problems occurring with West's and South's lights within the next 3-4 years as well. We may well end up with Norwood being king of night games once again in a few years if clubs can't afford the maintaining of light towers.

Wests lights are 3/4 the strength of Centrals, when new. The closeness of the lights to the ground, the smaller ground and the 'newness' of them means they are far superior to Centrals lights. I thought they were excellent. In fact, the only thing not excellent about West Adelaide tonight was their PA system. They've got a great facility and footy team, well done to them.

Looks like they'll have to merge with an AFL club to survive.

I thought Central's had the world's most loyal fans?

You can transfer some Friday night games to the Parade any time you like.

Simple. Just start trouble during the match and you will banned from night games there forever. Worked for Norwood Oval.

Fine by me - I don't mind the place, even at night.

NB: "Central's" transferring Friday night home games anywhere may prove problematic. ;)

Our largesse includes throwing in the odd apostrophe.

We're like that at Norwood.

I thought that Central had the money to spend.
The lights at Noarlunga were pretty good I think when used for the underage game last week.

The loo lights were fixed years ago, goraw.

I believe it was allocated in the accounts as Pseudo expenditure ;)

The lights at West, Elizabeth,Norwood are not up to scratch from a spectators point of view i cannot comment on Glenelgs cos i have not attended, however for the players on the ground their are no problems with the lighting so i guess we have to accept it for the time being until they erect a couple more towers at these grounds.

Doesnt matter if they light up the toilets, sitting in the outer the dogs supporters use the closest tree anyway.

I guess being a Centrals supporter, you haven't seen the new lights in action at the Parade.
