When does VAR kick in for the Cup? Not expecting a glorious march to Wembley, only a Bauer goal, but no doubt all contingency plans are being put in place should we prevail.

Leas than half working there. Do the club not have a maintenance person in employment anymore?
They might keep them off to save on the leccy
I’m sure the ref will be advising the relevant authorities about this. 3 weeks to sort this out then
The club might be breaking EFL rules if those areas drop below 300 LUX, plus if we do get promoted, it would fail the standards for the Championship, as it needs to be bright enough for Goal line tech.
as @Henry Irving has said, the existing system is knackered and you can’t get the lights anymore, so it’ll need a completely new system installed, which can be done in three weeks, but will more likely be done in the summer

As would our squad…I wouldn’t therefore worry too much ! 🙂

Can the club afford to wait until the summer? There's still 3 midweek home games between now and the end of the season. The area of the six yard box to the right of the goal at the Covered End looked really dark and wouldn't surprise me if it's borderline regulation as you mentioned.
On a slightly different tack, what must opposition fans (and indeed players) think of our club overall if we can't offer proper lighting for the game. Surely our 'mega-rich' owners can afford to replace the faulty lights? Or perhaps the SMT hasn't told them? It really is a bad reflection on us in my opinion.

Or you can’t get those lights anymore as they were discontinued a while ago, as the industry has moved to LED. The intention is to completely replace the lot in the summer I believe

@Rothko ah OK mate I didn't know we were looking to do a full replacement. Mind you it begs the question, if we can't get replacements now, what on earth will happen if a few more fail? Would we have to call games off until it's light enough to play the whole game without floodlights?

Don't think they have a choice now then to do a full replacement, they would have to anyway in the Championship as the lighting requirements keep increasing as more games are shown in UHD for example. Millwall LED replacement was to get to that level.
If the bulbs had been maintained in the past 10 years then we could get away with it for a bit longer.
I suspect they'll get some temporary lighting in for that corner in the coming weeks, before the full replacement
I’m guessing it’s not possible to swap the current bulbs around ie so that every other one is working rather than have four/ five/ six in a row not working?

Someone at the club needs to answer this, or we’re being kept in the dark?

Who is responsible for the general upkeep of the stadium? We are after all tenants.
If you were renting a house with knackered plumbing and electrics the landlord would be expected to sort it out.
If that is the case here, then I would say there is bugger all chance of getting things fixed as Roland won't be spending a penny on us.

Yes - it will be a full repairing (and insurance) lease.
