So the yams game went ahead despite 1 set of floodlights being out of action.

Anyone remember the preseason friendly versus Raith in Kirkcaldy under Yogi (rain of Biblical proportions right enough) when one of the floodlights failed and the game was called off ? What was the difference?

Edit: found the report (and I was at that game so it was poorly communicated - the weather caused the abandonment) http://www.hibernian-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/preseason_result__raith_rovers_10_hibs__match_aban doned_454347/index.shtml

"Some fans may have wished they had all went out" :bitchy:

Do the yams and the Scotsman share a proofreader? :dunno:

I too was at the Rovers match. From memory, someone in Europe had been struck by lightning within that week? When the lightning started in Kirkcaldy, to me, it felt right that the match was abandoned.

That was a shocker of a storm that night. No probs with it being halted at half time. We were losing too🤣
