Some encouraging news regarding the Port Melbourne lighting. The specs have been approved and we j should see lights capable of broadcast quality 1000 lux towers at up that should open up a host of exciting fixturing from next year. The lights are due to be installed late this year or early next year. Long overdue! I'm really looking forward to seeing night footy with the city backdrop at Port.

Not that it was ever a level playing field, but its a real setback for VFL clubs to be prohibited from training together, when AFL clubs are able to put together praccy matches!
