Paul Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 We can only apologise for tonights issues with the lights. A surge or power has stopped some lights coming on. We left the lights on after the game and by 9.45 this was how it looked. Really disappointing but nothing we could do. We actually have an electrian coming tomorrow and have received other quotes to get the work completed to upgrade the lights. A job we had planned on doing over the summer but with covid its been a challenge to even get someone to look at the floodlights. Apologies to everyone at Newquay A.F.C and everyone who came to watch on what was a perfect evening for football. See you all again soon.

Bruegel the Elder Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 After all the work you guys have put in over the last six months on the pitch it’s a shame to be let down by something beyond your control. The lights at Blaise Park have been problematic for a few years but having organised a solution and then have it dashed by the pandemic is yet another set back of these difficult times. I presume that the game will revert back to Newquay at a date to be arranged. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Unfortunately our floodlights are very high so having any work done on them isnt that easy. All the electric boxes are over 30 years old and they are knackered. If anything it might get things done even quicker now. Alot of clubs have a full set of lights with 12 bulbs where as we have 24 when fully working. Tonight we had 15 working in the end but not spread out enough. Roll on Saturday....and daylight.

The game at Newquay looks to be already set for the 11th November. Presumably this one tonight will be rescheduled for later in the season now.

Paul Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Yes. Fixtures were reversed as Newquay were having work on their lights carried out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 The lights were not working before kick off. In fact a Newquay supporter who installed the lights some 30 years ago tryed to help us get them working. Thank you to him for his efforts. Not even his knowledge could help us on the night unfortunately. TheolderIgetthebetterIwas and Rocket Ronnie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBloke Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I was at the game and stood on the bank behind the dugouts. The lights grandstand side weren’t working before kick off. I find it funny those saying ‘2-0 down turn the lights off’ because they weren’t even on before kick off, so hardly a ‘master plan’ because they were losing. Certainly out of St Blazey’s control and to be fair to them, they tried everything to get them working and get the game played. Unfortunately one of those things.

Paul Posted September 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 They were. We knew we had a problem with 1 floodlight but to have more bulbs knocked out on one side is just unfortunate due to a surge of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted September 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Nothing wrong with the rivalry between St Blazey and Newquay. Two good Cornish clubs.

sportsman10 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 I think once his brother and river Allen moved on it was only a matter of time. And Tiverton seem to be stocked with strikers. He already signed on for blazey but I would imagine he be at parkway for lot of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
