Or the IGU hasn’t miraculously disappeared, allowing that rare commodity…sunlight on to the pitch!

I do not get this sunlight thing. Most grounds have stands on 4 sides, how come their games go ahead ?

It's all to do with the position of the stand relative to the arc of the sun during the course of the year. If football were a summer sport it woudn't be an issue.
As others have said, ours isn't a unique situation, but it's made worse by the low cost crud the stadium was built with.

You're correct both about the uniqueness of the stand blocking the winter sun, and also how the stadium was built BUT we've had a structure of some size on that side of the pitch for something like half a century it's hardly something new! - whereas we're all aware we aren't a PL club, surely some of the hot air blowers or whatever wouldn't cost much to purchase/run, especially given losses incurred by games being off.
It appears that unfortunately the club time and again turn to the short term cheapness than longer term sense, the accusations of the club being called amateur (more so since Sharpe left) are sadly legitimate
