Yeah great report and its nice to be recognised in a stand alone artricle. The colour was fantastic on a still night the maroon smoke lingered perfectly as the team came out. The confetti though a royal pain in the ass for the groundsman added a South American feel to the North pole temps!
In honesty it was like a mini San Siro in Buckley Park last Sat. And they are not classed as flares I presume! Hope to see some pics I know 1 or 2 posters here had a camera any chance of posting them?
