You never know, could they take them down in such a way that they could be refurbished and rebuilt at another location π€π
Also, why don't the trust have a collection pot under each floodlight tower called, "turn on the lights" as an incentive and a bit of fun to getting them turned on at a certain time?
The money raised could go towards something worth while.

FFS they are just a set of lights that are well past their sell by date. Would you all get so emotional if they replaced the streetlights where you live if they had been around for 50 years. If some of you lot had been around when street gaslights were replaced with electric I bet you'd have been crying in your beer because " an era was over ".

Something worthwhile -yes, a new ground to go with the new lights.

We had a street party when the council changed a bulb in one of our street lights.

Has anyone seen what they are going to be replaced with? Lights are not just lights, they are an important part of stadium design. I imagine the new ones will be cheap as chips and make the ground a little less iconic.

Call me a sentimental old fool but when I was little I lived on Lovett Street and from the upstairs bedroom window on a night when Town were playing I seem to recall what was a welcoming warmth in the glow cast from BP Maybe they are just an antiquated structure now ( a bit like me ) but a few weeks back I was driving down Isaac's Hill and there on the horizon looking down Grimsby Road were those lights It might not mean anything to some people but the old ground will always be etched in my memory and taking the lights down will be tinged with some sadness for me

The floodlights are a large part of what gives Blundell Park its character (one of the few genuinely good things we have going for us). Obviously, they're past their best by date and have to be replaced but we'll likely go from having a excrement ground with lots of character, to having a excrement ground with a lot less character. If you're not slightly sad about the prospect of them going, then you're essentially made of stone.

There'll be a nostalgic twinge for me. Looking up at them for the last time as the teams come out, reminiscing about past glory, imagining the sights, the sounds that those old metal structures have witnessed.... But then Town will play shite and I'll just go home in a bad mood.
