Hi all,
here's a few images from Fri night where bizzarly the Stadium lights failed 1 hr before the kick off of a major playoff rugby game on world wide Sky TV! There was only 2 floodlights in operation come kick off thanks to a genny but all fans where moved to a single stand where there was at least emergency lighting running :). The game could not wait for the problem to be fixed as the opposition had a plane chartered for a return to Southern France!!. So they kicked off in vertual darkness which made our job a tadge tricky :).
PS all images taken from the light side clear.png. Kind regards Graham.

    And I complained when I had to shoot a match looking into sun! Great job and love the try. Hand on ball applying pressure down, it's good!thumb.gif
