It was the thing that struck me when visiting away grounds - how much smaller their floodlights seemed to be, in comparison with ours. The floodlights at other grounds would often have much smaller pylons but the actual lights would look huge.
I'm sure that we had them upgraded to meet the requirements of international football. Nevertheless, they were bloody impressive!
