Spectators

I did not do a shot on Monday, so this is a Tuesday image, to fill the hole.

The football season has started again and last night I went to watch Arnold Town play Winterton Rangers in the NCEL League Cup First Round.

This is one of the stands at the ground and the people watching are some of the 51 paying spectators who attended the game

The light was dull and grey, but their was a 10 minute spell in the 1st half when the sun dipped below the clouds to provide a warm glow on the stand and the home dugout

Taken with a long zoom from about 70 metres away !!

For the record : Arnold Town lost 2-1 (aet - after extra time)

Oh and it went really cold once the sun had set !!

Not quite one man and his dog then!! How fortunate the sun came out and lit everything up. Love the light on the trees at the back.

Cool shot

@Cherrill well this man was there, but not with my dog lol !!!!!!!!! thanks for the comment ..the lighting is rather nice

[Anita]

How on earth do they control the crowds?!?!?
I agree, it is nice lighting. It's a good time of year for light :)

[Elizabeth Hanna]

Yes, the lighting is great but the people look cold!

[Phil Howcroft]

@anron good question Anita...the thing is though, the players and referee can hear all the abuse and groans from the crowd !

[Phil Howcroft]

@elizabeth ooh Elizabeth , for an August evening it did go really cold !

[Juliette Packham]

love these local grounds - the low summer light is great here

[Frances Chaloner]

Great light and interesting capture of the supporting stalwarts!

proper non-league footie... when I was a kid and couldn't afford the, what?? say £3 for a Pompey game, we'd head off with our 50p and watch the local southern league local team with about 100 others...

..the light here is my favourite time of day. The golden hour when things can start to glow, or the atmosphere can just change - magical lighttime.
Nice local footy action.
