STATEMENT: Floodlight Incident

March 13, 2026

Wakefield Trinity can confirm that during our match against Leeds Rhinos there was a temporary issue affecting part of the floodlighting system at the stadium.

Initial indications suggest the cause was an isolated cable fault, which was entirely unforeseen. Prior to kick-off, all standard pre-game safety and operational checks were completed, and no issues with the floodlighting system were identified at that time.

Our stadium operations team worked quickly with onsite engineers to investigate the fault, and the issue was identified and addressed. We will undergo further testing to confirm the issue has been completely rectified ahead of our next game on Friday 20th March against Leigh Leopards.  

We apologise to supporters and players of both teams, match officials and broadcast partners for the disruption and thank everyone for their patience while the situation was resolved.
