Are the floodlights at St Mary's too bright?

Season ticket holder Penny Ridley has contacted the Daily Echo to voice her concern that the lights are too strong.

She says: “At half-time at St Mary’s at the weekend the usual chat went on amongst us season ticket holders – a group of 10/15 who’ve had the same seats for ten years or so.

“The ONLY topic of conversation for the next fifteen minutes was the effect the floodlighting was having on our viewing pleasure.

“Our area is in and above row W behind the goal in the Chapel Stand, grandstand views with only the disabled section in front of us.

“We all agreed, especially those who wear glasses, that it was very difficult to watch the match comfortably.

“The halogen lights seemed to be mini-laser lights – shining straight into one’s eyes.

“My old Saints baseball cap used to keep out the floodlight glare, but you’d need a hat with a straight level brim to keep the piercing lights at bay.

“My arms were aching after 100 minutes of shielding my eyes.

“It wasn’t just us oldies (we’ve had our season tickets for 43 years) but the youngsters as well.”
