Just realised next Saturday's home game against Crewe will be the last game at BP with the old iconic floodlights.

It'll be strange without them after all these years.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Will they be switched on at all? For the last time and all that

Be nice if this last game was a fiver or a tenner even just for something like the last game with the iconic BP Floodlights

I think they may be switching them on with 10 minutes to go.

Taking my 5 year old lad to his first game on Saturday. Clearly the history of those floodlights will be lost on him but nice that there’s a degree of significance about his first match in what would have otherwise been a forgettable fixture.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

A Tuesday night game always stirs the soul when you look up at those floodlights, it truly will be the end of an era

I take one of two routes to BP every game. One is via Cleethorpe/Grimsby Road from Docks Beers and the other is through Sidney Park from Queen Mary Avenue. The first thing you see looking towards BP from both is those floodlights. They’ll be missed as landmarks but the world moves on. I hope any new home for us has as iconic features.

You never know...it may turn out to be JF's last game at the helm too.
