    I'm no expert but this looks like the club are applying to have panels on the roofs at VP. I'm sure I read someone said it couldn't be done on here?

    I believe @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler commented its been looked into but the structure of the stands roofs won't take the weight, I could be mistaken although apparently solar panels have become much lighter I've read.

    Waste of time. Waste of money. We've bigger problems than worrying about this crap.

    How is it a waste of time and money to generate our own electricity which in the long run will save us far more than the cost to have them installed? Plus any excess would generate us money by feeding it back into the grid

    If this means we can get hot water in the Kop bogs I am all for it.

    Those lamps to help with the areas where the grass is sparse are very expensive to run, imagine getting several more of them and the expense covered by the solar panels win win it might shut up some of the moaners with regards the condition of the pitch.

    Due to the cost of having them installed and the time it takes to make the investment back this would suggest that we are close to signing, or have already signed, a deal to stay at VP long term. No point in investing in them for two or three years useage

    If it saves us money then surely it is good as it frees cash up for other things,

    Not sure we can call it a pitch right now Dave. Shocking surface to play on and tough on the players too.

    Probably most things non football related, the club need someone above him and someone running the football side leaving him to the commercial side.
