Money Man Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Delighted to say that the first game under lights at Poltair Park will be Friday the 27th January 1945 ko. Thank you to Buckland for agreeing to this. This will be a truly unbelievable occasion for all involved at AFC St Austell. Money Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Great - a game in January that I'll actually be able to get to! Should be a cracker and a bumper crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Man Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 What do you think the crowd might be Tony. Perhaps challenge the record for a swpl game!! I think Newquay have the record of about 700 plus so would be nice to beat that. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin richards Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Well done to St Austell & especially to you James. Its great to see a club moving forward in these difficult times & its down to you & a lot of other people commited in driving the club on. Im at an age where i can remember senior cup finals being played at Poltair & im sure it wont be long before they are played there again. Well done to all concerned. :clapper: :clapper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Odgers Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Good sport on Buckland Athletic for agreeing to the fixture change especially as the have aspirations for promotion to the Western League. AFC st.Austell a very unpredictable side so Buckland may "come a cropper" Congratulations to all at Poltair on their historic event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't something similar be good again, especially in front of what i expect to be at least 400/500 if the weather is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlandlilywhite Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 An excellent fixture to open the lights. I shall be coming down from the Midlands to enjoy the event and support the "Town". Should be a large crowd, hopefully the weather will be fine. Great to see the club making so much progress.

Outsider Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 What a great effort by the St.Austell club. I had a look this afternoon and the ground is really looking like a football stadium now, and the playing surface is looking superb. Looking forward to the first game under lights.

Outsider Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Moneyman, Does this mean that future home matches will now start at 15:00 on Saturdays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Man Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Outsider. I think this is an answer for Phil Hiscox. I would imagine that a 15.00 ko will be the new revised ko time until the end of the season. Kind Regards MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that's what Falmouth Town did...(although I'm not sure it was actually the first match under lights). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_howe Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi everyone, I'm a journalist student writing a news article on the construction of floodlights at Poltair Park. Has anybody got any useful contacts, either within or outside the club, that could help me dig into the story? Or does anyone here have anything to share that could go into the article? I would like to use a couple of the posts already on here to make up some quotes. First of all, Money Man, can I have your permission to use your opening post? Feel free to contact me via any of the methods below. Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
