Heard rumour don't know whether it's true.

Floodlights will cost £50,000

We will get a grant for £25,000, E&B will pay £10,000 - leaving us £15,000 short. Also allegedly we have put plans in place to play West Ham preseason as well as Charlton to cover the shortfall.

As I say, this is only from overhearing someone else's conversation

I give you my word that I'm not trying to cause an argument here, but doesn't WUISA still have some money floating around? If so why not put it towards the floodlights. I'm sure the Club would give any necessary undertakings. The last thing anyone wants is money that could go on players being spent on the lights so why not help out? If nothing else it would show that all Welling supporters can work together for the best interests of Welling United.  

Have the club applied for a national lottery grant given their new community scheme?? If not why not?

Also have they contacted abacus lighting   http://www.lighting4sport.com/floodlightingforsport.htm  who have done some really nice lights at other grounds, OR contacted Moor Green and found out how much theirs were? they are on hydraulics and lower at the push of a button to make removing/cleaning lamps easier.

 

I think we have to have 100 lux? minimum but 250 is recommended, hopefully the lights will be nice and bright and ideally they will match the onces on the B&Q side of the ground.
