As someone who was at the game I have to say that Sandals “floodlights” are not fit to play a game at any level.
Why people think the level of rugby is material to the required brightness of the lights amuses me.
Yes there was a good crowd Yes Heath took a lot of supporters ,as they always do to away games, Yes Sandal had a good bar take.
Is Friday rugby, where teams have Quality floodlights, the answer to club Treasurers prayers. NO.
Why because if the team you are playing does not also have adequate lights they perceive that you have some kind of advantage, as you are always playing under lights and refuse the request to play on a Friday even where travelling time makes this viable.
With the teams in Regional 1 NE there are only Sandal and Cleckheaton that it is practical for Heath to play on a Friday. So whilst it is very nice to have a set of match lights to train under they are rarely used for playing a game.
However looking forward to Sandal coming to us on Friday 9th Dec and hope they bring half of Wakefield with them,
