Just wondering if anyone can help me — I'm trying to track down one of Town's old floodlight lamps. About 40 went up for auction at the end of 2019 and only 4 or 5 sold at the time because they set a rather high reserve of £200.

The auction house have been in touch to say they have no more, but didn't say whether that was because they sold them, scrapped them or shifted them on to someone else.

Anyone have any ideas? I know they're a bit marmite — some love the nostalgia, while to others they're a piece of junk. I'm one of the former, so if anyone knows of their whereabouts then please let me know.

Not really answering your question but I bought one and converted it with new wiring and a modern bulb and it’s on the back of the house illuminating the patio. The club got money and I’ve got some genuine Blundell Park memorabilia. Win win as far as I’m concerned.
