The floodlights at the SSA Stadium were installed last season and all the matches from second leg onwards were scheduled under lights there.  The lights are arranged on six short pillars arranged between the stands and the pitch and are technically not the correct position to install the floodlight ad it partly obstructs the spectators’ view of the ground and also referees and players find it difficult to deal with the aerial ball.

This is the second straight Lajong match that was postponed. Earlier it was on 14th September the match was called off against Malki FC due to heavy rain. The first leg a match between Meghalaya Police and Malki on 20th August had to be abandoned after the ball boys did not turn up.
