Floodlights

[Neil]

Can anyone remember the date when the floodlights are due in TC?

no, but i think it's before early february. joe posted here (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2115) that they've been taken down in bishopstown, so progress is nigh.

There supposed to be in for the u21 friendly with Denmark, which I think is on March 26th (?). As to how long before that they go in, I don't think any date has been mentioned.

So it will be next season before City play under lights...

yeah, it's not like you can change the time/day of your home games during the season :rolleyes:

Even if the club don't move the league games to evenings the floodlights should pay (if they actually costing the clubs anything) for themselves in no time.

- can have later 3pm ko afternoon games
- mid-week evening friendlies
- mid-week cup games at better times then 6pm (e.g. wouldn't have problem finding a day for game like the upcoming Limerick one)
- won't have to play those CL league games in semi darkness ;)
- help RTE in have live games on fridays instead of sundays.

The futures bright.....

Ireland U21's play Denmark in a friendly in March. (26th?)

Ireland U19's will play the second leg of their play off against Holland at Turners X, on Wednesday April 10th.

The Dutch game especially could have a great atmosphere under lights.
