Is This Floodlight
White
Just
A Fad?
Floodlight football is booming. More and more clubs are taking
up the idea. A few days ago I played in the Spurs' first floodlit game at Hart Lane against the Racing Club de Paris. The following Thursday night I watched the Arsenal-Preston match.
The question is: What is the future of this form of football? Some people think it is just a temporary novelty. But I am sure that it has definitely come to stay.
