The floodlighting boom

From Old Trafford to Lansdowne Road, Dalymount Park to Turners Cross, the improvement in facilities made viable by floodlighting has been evident in the past five years.

It is not all that long ago that Irish Internationals used to be played at 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon at Lansdowne, in a time when floodlighting was not a viable option.

   





Improvements in technology have had a two-fold effect on quality and price which has enabled all League of Ireland clubs to invest in floodlighting. Each of the 22 league clubs are capable of holding night-time games, which has seen a growth in the popularity of domestic soccer.

The success of this investment has seen the demand for floodlit facilities increase dramatically with smaller clubs keen to invest in training facilities and there is still a massive demand for such facilities nationwide.

The installation of floodlighting to the correct safety standard can be a simple task with the correct guidance and assistance. To that end we have included a list of the foremost companies in this growing sector for your benefit.





  

quote of the day
"It would be a dream come true to play for my country one day and fingers crossed it might happen. But I don’t think Trapattoni knows my name or even knows about Dundee United Football Club. If I am being honest, I don’t think he has ever been to a game I’ve played in or knows I exist." - A disillusioned Willo Flood.
