Gateshead should be paying the electricity bill
Maybe the club could apply for planning permission for 4 micro wind turbines, one on each corner of the ground would generate 20kW of renewable energy, enough to run the floodlights for a couple of hours with minimal disruption to local residents
:dan
You can get them put up for free nowadays. These companies even pay for the planning application and do all the work.
The planning department lets it through in order to reinforce it's green credentials, the company gets its government subsidy, BUFC burns off all the renewable lecky...everybody is happy...apart from the local residents, but they don't seem to matter according to Boston Borough Council :dan
