Bald Bloke Posted May 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) I came past the stadium at 2.30pm and someone was working on the flood lights. Buster is having new LED ones fitted. Edit.. Just seen this on the Stars Facebook page..... We regret to inform supporters that we have had to take the decision to postpone Thursday’s Premiership match with Wolverhampton. This is due to ongoing electrical work at the Adrian Flux Arena, with the installation of new floodlights, which cannot be guaranteed to be ready in time for the meeting. The work was due to take place in the close season but had to be rescheduled due to global issues at the time, and unfortunately this week has progressed slower than anticipated. Promoter Keith Chapman said: “We sincerely apologise to everyone, the plan was to have this done several months ago, but it’s a situation that’s out of our control. “The work has been taking place at the stadium and it has hit several snags along the way which has put things behind schedule. “The volume of equipment inside the Arena also has an impact on my ability to prepare the track for the meeting. “We’ve kept the SCB informed all the way on this, and the last thing I want to do is have everyone come along on Thursday and then find out at teatime that we have no lights. That wouldn’t be fair on people. “Our apologies to Wolverhampton, and we look forward to welcoming them later in the season.” Thursday’s fixture will be re-arranged, and the Stars are back in action on May 16 when they visit Belle Vue with the return against the Aces at the Adrian Flux Arena on Thursday May 19.

Pretty rich coming from a Belle Vue fan who thinks they have played it by the rules. Remember watergate Thought everyone is going by the only rule that counts anyway "in the best interests" Probably under water now anyway with the rain we are having here about 6 miles away.

That was a genuine burst water pipe. David Gordon stood on the pipe and it burst 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) In fairness to Buster he more or less warned this might happen during the P'boro fixture so I'd be surprised if there is anything untoward on this occasion. It's a pity though as it looks like being a nice day and we were all planning to come as a family.

Beowulf Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 These 'works' seem to have come at a very convenient time. Reminds me of a Cradley v Wolves match that was called off due to a 'waterlogged track' . One of my mates lived in Dudley and we thought might as well go for a drink as we were going to be out anyway. Passed by the track to have a look, dry as a bone. The fact that Hancock and Hamill had missed their flights back to the UK was a pure coincidence. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
