I seem to remember they were expensive to replace and you could only buy a certain number ( 10 I think) . Hopefully LED lights won’t need changing frequently- also the new pylons are hinged so no one has to climb them for maintenance.Copy that Gladfans .?So sorry to hear tony passed away he was a nice and funny man we had a lot of laughs together, still if he was still doing the lights he would have been glad that the pylons were hinged. They look great, just can't wait to see them working? Cheaper to run now with led lamps as well I think? Still another job completed or nearly and the ground that much closer completion ? Well done to all.

Alex said the new pylons were 20 metres was the old the same ? What is going to happen to the old pylons could they be re used say for car park lighting .

Not sure on the height of the new ones albeit they seem a bit higher.Gladfans I know that the car park all ready had a flood light for the T -END but don't know if it's still there? If the pylons are still up be hind the Bell end they are in a good position .I don't know what cost would be ? Two LED lamp's and a role of cable and someone that knows what there doing?Or it might be just as easy to put LED lamps to the back of the T-END and the bell end stand's and sell the pylons to some other club ? Just a thought.
