Penners JR. Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 AFC St.Austell's floodlights are starting to go up shouldn't be long until they have their FIRST ever floodlight game at Poltair Park.
Rocket Ronnie Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Ideal! Another option to go and watch footy throughout the week! People who live in mid cornwall are lucky enough as it is what with bodmin, wadebridge, truro, blazey and newquay already having lights in the area. Well done to everyone at snozzell, quite a turn around from a few years ago!!!
bushy12 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 I've heard that trenches are dug, and lights should be up and running by end of the month! Nothing like a good evening game under lights! Should draw in some pretty impressive crowds with NOTHING else to do in St.Austell on a Friday night! Will be amazing to finally watch St.Austell competing in the Vase and FA cup. Good times ahead for St.Austell.
midlandlilywhite Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Great news. Congratulations to the Committee and especially Darryl Stamp for all their hard work over the last 4 years which has enabled the club to make so much progress from the sorry position of the past. I can't wait to travel down for a floodlit match sometime later in the season, maybe Liskeard at home.
Tony Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Great news. Congratulations to the Committee and especially Darryl Stamp for all their hard work over the last 4 years which has enabled the club to make so much progress from the sorry position of the past. I can't wait to travel down for a floodlit match sometime later in the season, maybe Liskeard at home. Yes, Darryl in particular needs a lot of praise for his hard work in this regard. He rarely sees much of any home games due to helping man the main gate then doing other jobs whilst his wife is one of the ladies who do such a good job in the tea hut. Well done Darryl and the rest of the committee. By the way Bushy12, Town did compete in the Vase and FA Cup for several seasons in the 80's and into the early 90's but had to stop when the rules about floodlights came in.
Money Man Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 Its simply unbelievable to see the floodlights actually going up at Poltair. Thank you to everyone involved. New stand next!!!!! Regards Money Man
Slicedbread Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 Its simply unbelievable to see the floodlights actually going up at Poltair. Thank you to everyone involved. New stand next!!!!! Regards Money Man Well done st austell stands would be good also ;@)
Tony Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 I assume MM you are referring to a covered area behind the town end goal or something else??
David Bray Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 Just looked in at Poltair and it is great to see the pylons going up. Going to be heavy going around the top half for standing for a while. Need 'weelies' in front of the tea hut on Saturday!!! Fantastic effort from all those involved. Never thought i would see the day.
goosefish Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 how much is it gonna cost 2 run these lights??? or will u just up the entrance fee 2 ur loyal supporters money man??
Money Man Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Tony. Correct a covered stand behind the Town end is certainly on my agenda. Also Goosefish, the prices as far as I am aware will not be increased for our supporters for floodlit games. I am sure the increased attendance will more than cover the cost. Cost of the floodlights is approx £30.00 for 2 hours of use. Thank you again to all our sponsors who have helped over the past few years. AFC St Austell is on the up!!! MM
goosefish Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 if not u can always take it out of lee whetters or dan nanks' packet its not like they actually earn it now is the lazy little scoundrels lol
Leaner Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Pay for the floodlights until this time next year if Nanx and Whets had a week off...

Jenksy007 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Congrats to everyone involved. Having been up there myself, its starting to look extremely impressive. I had the pleasure of a catch up with Daryl Stamp last week and the pure passion pouring out of the man with St Austell FC is unreal. He deserves alot of respect for this. I encourage anybody to do what they can to support their local clubs (it doesnt always have to be money). Yes we all get grief for saying we support Arsenal or Man Utd when we are down here, but this is the likes of the clubs that we should be supporting (aswell as the big clubs) and making a difference for. Well done everyone @ the club.
DanBlazey Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 This is a massive step forward, no doubt about that. But has anybody else noticed a distinct LACK of midweek fixtures in the SWPL recently?
Dave Deacon Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 This is a massive step forward, no doubt about that. But has anybody else noticed a distinct LACK of midweek fixtures in the SWPL recently? Probably because of the time of the year isn't it? What with County cup replays likely, but more importantly the weather can be pretty horrid towards midweek evening games this time of the season! :ninja:
David Bray Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Just driven by at 3.30 pm. Lights are up and ON. 'Proper Job'.

They'll be too busy on the night goosefish. Anyway they deserve the limelight by being seen out and about the ground, rather than tucked away in the stand!

Nice to see St Awful joining the 20th Century, I'm sure they will catch up with the rest of us soon. Only kidding Money Man, you are doing a fine job, perhaps we should put in 7 days notice for you !
