Usually take a while to warm up.

On the big screens/TV it looks a lot darker compared to the brightness for real inside stadium.

What a difference they make when on TV. They really make the pitch and stadium look superb.

Felt like my eyes switched to HD when they came on

I brought sunglasses with me today and put them on as soon as they went on. Had a stinking migraine during/after the past two games because of them

It was amazing. You could see everything the players were doing so much more clearly. Praise Jesus that they didn't have it when Johnson was manager.

I assume it's a bit of optimal position to get the maximum effect and for structural reasons.

Genuinely enjoyed the murmurs of excitement around the crowd when they came on.

I was photographing the game today. What a difference when the lights came on. Unfortunately, kept my record up of never photographing a win. 7 games, of which I would have said 4 we were strong favourites, and not a single victory.

They should have been on from the start it was dull day.

Tight *******s and their smart meter

I was one of the murmerers. It was genuinely like a moment of magic when the switch was flicked, from dull and getting hard to see to bloomin' mid summer in a micro second :greengrin Mind you, the bloomin things should have been on from the start it was that dull at kick off.

I still remember the pylon floodlights that actually took a few minutes to warm up before taking full effect.

Yeah I remember them use to stand next to one set near the cow shed.

I see that Hearts dump of a stadium is category 4 UEFA compliant along with Hampden, Ibrox and Parkhead. Will our new floodlights lift Easter Road up to that level and if not what does the club have to do. We all know that ER is vastly superior overall though admittedly we don't have a roof terrace with a view of the castle.

The away changing room at Easter Road is probably a barrier to us achieving category 4 status.

Was it like the Still Game episode when Jack and Victor changed the bulb outside their flat, has me in stitches every time. :greengrin

Neither do they.

Are you sure that we are not already category 4 already? The conference league regulations require group games to be played in category 4 stadiums. If we would have had to have played somewhere else had we beaten Aston Villa, surely there would have been an outrage here back in August.

There are only five category 4 stadiums in Scotland including Murrayfield. Looking at the requirements for that classification I am baffled as to how Tynecastle meets them.

I don't know if it only applies to International matches as I have wondered in the past why there are none at ER these days but Tynecastle has hosted some.

A lot of the required infrastructure obviously went into that new stand - media facilities etc. (something we may struggle to do with the West)

To my mind, the only thing that sticks out is the provision of 150 secure parking spaces for VIPs. Where would they manage that at Tynie? Unless McLeod Street and the High School count?

Back on topic... my mate's rope-access company put in the new lights - installing them looked like an SAS operation!

As it stands the West is quite a limited structure. I would imagine our player and officials facilities aren't up to the required levels and the requirements for the media are ever expanding.
I suspect that after the hospitality upgrades and expansion there isn't any space left to carry out any new work.

Agreed. I did the tour last year and I was quite surprised how limited the space is in there.

Maybe we should throw up an extra tier on the main stand instead of filling in the corners

We could just take out a row of seats and call it a tier.

There was roofing guys abseiling during the beam back against The Undead in 2021. I managed to not notice them for a good while somehow. Probably combo of KN's goal and the shock at Porto's red card.

Aberdeen don’t seem to have a problem playing at Pittodrie.
