But the club will be looking at how to get it right. Dont know full details but think it was one part of the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 A bit of a sickner for a club who are trying to do all the right things.Hope you get a solution as there's no way a ref should get the final say on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Couldn't disagree more.To put the final say on something as costly as this to a ref is a bad precedent. The licensing board should approve the lights and a midweek fixture shouldn't be scheduled until this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The ref has to have the final say on the conditions for a game to take place. Do you want the licensing board to check the lights every week ? If not what happens when say half the lights aren't working but the ref is forced to play a game in unsuitable conditions due to a licensing board decision 6 months earlier - bonkers. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The first time they are used? Ridiculous. Game shouldn't have been scheduled if they weren't up to scratch.

But who says they were not ok when checked but there has been an issue since - which is why the ref has to have the final say. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you expect Camelon to have professional electricians on staff? Or do you think some local electrician volunteered their labour to save them the cost of installation? Don't think they had some random playing at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason King Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I'm confused - are these not the same lights as those mobile ones they had a few weeks ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sponsorsladdie Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I'm confused - are these not the same lights as those mobile ones they had a few weeks ago?No, these are new ones. Looks like they have lifted some old lampposts out of a scrappies yard and stuck a few torches on them.It’s all fine and well having these put up by volunteers but they need to be putting them up to the standard of the license requirements. I doubt the auditors have been out to asses in the time between them going up and the game going ahead. I’d have thought that camelon you’d have ensured that the requirements were met although not signed off by license bots.Referee has to put a game off if goes to think that the conditions of the pitch, lights or player safety can be impacted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
