Leamington's floodlights

[redwine rebel]

Lighten up Dave I think most comments were said in jest!!

[David Carpenter]

Maybe but I think that's not the way some of them might be interpreted which is of course one of the problems with social media. Anyway I am missing the Leamington game so let's hope for a win there and of course v Chippenham tomorrow.

[redwine rebel]

It is if people make more of things than need be I'm sure we're not the only club laughing and joking about Leamingtons floodights.

[HorshamRebel]

We're not.

There's lots of conspiracy theorists out there.

 

Let's hope that when we are there the radio and twitter feeds work, otherwise Dave will be kept in the dark back at home.

I won't be tuning in anyway because I will be attending a concert at Eton School Hall given by a choir of which I was a member for several years (until the Director realised I had a crap voice!).

[Manor Park Rebel]

David, it's just a bit of light hearted humour. I don't think anybody suggested that we should send a raiding party to Leamington to nail a written accusation of blatant cheating to their door. It will be interesting to see what the reaction is if it happens again. Would the visiting club be entitled to claim their travelling expenses for the abandoned games?

[David Carpenter]

It's interesting how my light-hearted wind-up has caused such reaction! COYR!

[Hammer_rebel]

Ok so back to the deduction of points..

Dave

 

could you get the choir to sing at Arbour Park. We have all said we need to create a bit more noise.

[David Carpenter]

They are a very good choir and having been a member for several years I always support their concerts. This years' Winter Concert unfortunately clashes with the Leamington game.

it's alright dave you can probably make the replay after the lights fail.

We'll have to take the lead for that to happen

You couldnt make it up! Leamington have announced that their floodlight problem is caused by using "too much electric" and have decided to close all in house catering turn off all heating and hot air blowers in toilets outside caterers will be brought in.

Actually this is very plausible and was the root cause of the floodlight issues at Stag Meadow.

 

When an electricity supply is installed the head unit will be limited. We had a 100 amp (I think) head unit and the reason our lights kept going out was because they were trying to draw too much electric.

 

We initially went through the same fault finding exercise as they seem to be by shutting down any non-required items.

 

We managed to get around the issue by initially having a generator and then taking over a transformer left behind by one of the phone companies.

[Irishadrian]

Thanks mal316 always good to hear from someone in the know I just had a mental picture of some poor sod sticking his hands under the dryer and the lights fail.

You may joke, but that was pretty much the situation at Stag Meadow before we fixed it!!

Nothing to do with not paying the bill, or the taxman?

Must try being cheeky about us taking the lead more often  it seemed to work
