    They're switched on a few times a week for testing. And the PA system.

    OK. Just wondered if photos were being taken. Out of interest, why would you need to test them a few times a week? Particularly at this time of year, with no football being played?

    I once asked why they were on, during the day, in my first week in the job. I was told it was "to test them, make sure no bulbs have gone". In the five years I've been here, a couple of times a week they are on for an hour or so. I know little beyond that.

    As for photos, we have never had the maintenance team switch floodlights on for us. We just use the flash.

    Would you know how or where to turn them on if you were feeling particularly naughty one day?

    I have to admit that the same thought crossed my mind when I saw we’ve signed young Benson :):)
