New flagpoles

Surely if the flags can't be raised or lowered it  would be the pulley at the top?, so why new poles?...

The old poles were on the roof of the stand and I suspect they were difficult to access.  These, as far as I could tell, are installed behind the stand so will be very easy to hoist and lower flags.  Also, I suspect replacing the mechanisms on the old ones would have cost little less than starting from scratch.

there are poles behind the stand 6 or 8, and unless the mechanisms (pulleys) are very high tech they only consist of a pulley over which the flag cord runs over...

Given the potential to generate advertising revenue, I really hope it does!!!!

I think it's also just the general impression that a well-run and smart stadium gives. It gives any stand sponsors / stadium sponsors the view that the club takes pride in the appearance of its stadium. The flats are also visually impressive for any commercial sponsors being wined and dined in the Lorne St posh seats too.
