I've heard there is plotting from our opponents with regard to playing without floodlights- even though this is quite legal under RFL rules which state that " a few candles in each corner" should suffice for Division 3". They seem to think that the rule which stipulates that, "an official should be ready to re-light any candles which are blown out", is a bit vague for such an open, and let's be honest, windy ground as Odsal, and that we might only ne willing to pay for one official, so as to make the ground as dark as possible. However their ruse of only agreeing to play if there is a bell in the ball should be strongly resisted as there is absolutely no such provision under the match rules for this.



I think that RFL objections are silly too. The idea that the referees would be unable to spot knock-ons and forward passes is utterly ludicrous as it is already accepted that they won't be spotted in full sunshine in the middle of July, let alone a bit of twilight.

I understand not even willing to pay for one. Instead they're going to buy a special scanner that detects the lack of light and heat from the candle and re-lights it. However it's unlikely that said scanner will work properly, so they'll have a steward pop down and just wave a match at it in that case.

A Trin fan here, we switched to 3pm from 3:30pm kickoffs to cut down on lighting costs, i'm told. How many sh*ts would be given if you kicked off at 2pm on Sundays for the next 2 years, didn't use floodlights and bought a better player instead?

For the Toronto game can we all bring fork handles each, that should be enough to light up the ground

We should all put our phone torches on when we have the ball and turn them off when we put a bomb up.

Problem with that is most people's batteries will have already died trying to display a bloody QR code that the steward can't scan properly.

How long before AC launches the Bradford Bulls Battery Booster! Bulls brand head torches, reflective patches on replica jerseys...it's a whole new line of merch....

Good idea, we could call it BulbBuilder

Leds, It's the future.

Classic

Maybe she has a couple of bulbs stashed somewhere

As sub lease Landlord, surely the RFL own the current bulbs, working or not. Perhaps some bright spark there could fill in.
