Does anybody else on here sit in the West Stand and get dazzled by the floodlights on the roof of the East stand ??
At midweek games I have to put my hand up to block the glare to look across the pitch as these lights seem to be pointed directly across at the West Stand.
The three at the North End of the East Stand are directed down and so don’t cause a problem, but the rest seem to point horizontally across to the fans sitting opposite.
I have written to the club and got a swift reply and I just wondered if anybody else on here is having a similar problem at midweek games ??
Thanks in advance.

So what did they say ?

Well basically that the lights have to adhere to the standards set by our ‘friends’ at the EFL, and the pitch has to be in “Constant Light” right across the pitch. I asked if they could be tilted down just a touch, in line with the 3 near the North Stand, then it would help greatly. Other fans sitting nearby are also affected, but I just wondered if any other boarders on here have similar problems??

I noticed they were wonky too. Its not causing me a problem though.

I sit in the West stand and have never noticed a problem before .

I am in row L and I have no problem with it. Maybe it’s only the lower seats are affected

Sat 4 rows from the front on Tuesday and they were a little distracting but not enough to be really bothered

Historically in the majority of our Tuesday night home games it's hard to notice the lights when your head is down between your knees

I would be lying if I said I hadn't been slightly distracted by the dazzle from where I sit in the west stand. And yes, I've wondered too if a slight adjustment could be possible. But it's not a big big problem.

never noticed tbh

Same for Mrs NES and I but the guy Mrs NES sits next to always complains about them.

Yep, sit in the South stand and the North stand new lights are a dazzling pain in the arse. Really glare into your eyes, which is a pain considering how low to the pitch they are

I will raise it at the next UN meeting
