Floodlights work begins next month

In a recent, FSSB statement it was confirmed that we would be undertaking some work on our floodlights.

We can confirm that this work will begin on November 19th. The works will not effect any of the footballing operations at the stadium, with all fixtures & pitch bookings going ahead as normal.

Midstream Lighting will be the company behind the works, they’re leading designer and manufacturer of advanced, robust, LED lighting solutions for the aviation, sports, maritime, and horticultural industries around the world.

The company creates purpose-built lighting solutions to meet the highest quality standards and regulations of each region they are deployed in.

LED bulbs will be installed, which will allow us to dim the floodlights to suit the situation, allowing us to save energy.

We will be operating at 500 Lux for our men’s first team matches, which is compatible with floodlighting requirements for the EFL.

For other fixtures will be operating at 250 Lux, and for pitch rental 200 Lux.

James Brunt, Midstream Lighting’s Director of Sports said: “This upgrade will enhance the matchday experience for players and fans alike, ensuring brighter, more efficient lighting for every game.

“Midstream Lighting are looking forward to bringing this project to life and supporting the club’s journey up the leagues.”

Match Info: Charnock Richard (A), Tue 22nd Oct, 7:45pm KO

The game against Charnock Richard marks a turning point in our season, and a good performance in this and every remaining fixture is vital if we are to achieve our primary aim: promotion.

It was a bitter pill to swallow when the Shakers exited their third cup competition in eight days – beaten by Chadderton on penalties in the Isuzu FA Vase.

So it’s goodbye to the cups, and there’s no time for self-pity as we go back to league action at Charnock Richard’s Mossie Park stadium.

Several leading players were missing through injuries on Saturday. But the quality the Shakers take into the battle for promotion was plain to see. Not for the first time, however, we didn’t really start to play until the second half.


Top-scorer Rustam Stepans took the chance for the 48th-minute equaliser superbly. But his 13th goal of the season was a team goal, and clearly showed the difference between the two sides, and on Tuesday he faces up to his former side.

It should never have gone to penalties. But we didn’t add to our tally, and all credit to battling Chadderton.

So now for the league. Come on, you Shakers!
    In Opposition – Charnock Richard
Charnock Richard have had a mixed season so far. They’re 11th in the table, having won seven and lost seven games, with three drawn. But they were given a massive boost by Saturday’s 3-1 win at home to third-placed Lower Breck – one of the most consistent teams in the league.
 
The Villagers’ history dates back to 1933, and their set-up took its present form in 1955. They joined the NWCFL in 2016 and were promoted to the Premier Division in the following year.
 

As a thoroughly local village club, they run a wide variety of teams from juniors to veterans.
  Tickets
