Floodlights   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #116 of 415 |
According to a record book I have, modern floodlighting systems began
to be installed in numbers during 1955 and 1956, presumably by Division
1 clubs in the main.

Is there a source setting out the first floodlit game at each Football
League ground over that period and beyond until all 92 clubs had
systems?
