John B Posted 23 June, 2014 Share Posted 23 June, 2014 Wasn't the Dell the first stadium to have a competitive game under flood lights? Following the lifting of a FA ban the first competitive fixture played under floodlights was at the Dell on Monday 1st October 1951 when Southampton Reserves played Spurs Reserves in the Football Combination. There were of course games under floodlights before that but the FA had a ban in 1930 http://www.footballsite.co.uk/Statistics/Articles/DidYouKnow26.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a view which is correct, but there is a view here that we had no choice but to change to comply.
