Arnold Town FC , undercover standing area (faded brown)
Me and my mate Bill went to watch some non league football on Wednesday night to watch Arnod Town play host to Aylestone Park FC
I worked out that with a 19:45 kick off I might get 15 minutes of decent light to take some action shots before the light faded.
However the visiting team arrived late so the referee gave them aan extra 15 minutes to warm up, which meant an 20:00 hours kick off at which point the light was too poor for fast shutter shots
So the image you have is one of the two stands at the ground. Edited in Rawtherapee with a faded brown profile added.
I was sure I had posted this stand before, but I did a quick search of my photostream and could not find it
It has however appeared on my flickr photostream back in August 2012
Well I hope for Arnold town has more than six supporters! Honestly so,lovely to be relaxed about what time is kick off....beats these large clubs hands down!
Beautiful capture of this tiny stand. What a difference from the big stadia. My son went to watch Juventus play against Monaco a week ago and he was amazed at the crowd and the atmosphere, so much so that he is planning to go again to watch them against Real Madrid in the semi-final of the Euro Champions League.
@eyesmile yes we call them stands gena, at professional level the supporters have to sit , they are not allowed to have terracing with no seats after several horrific disaster
I hope the crowds were well behaved!
@sangwann thanks dione , Arnold town average about 50 paying spectators per game , rather different than the champs league :)
