Never to the dark side Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Quite wellcome to use Wembley as far as I am concerned Film footage on Sky news now(15:15) ITV sport who are covering the match,will show pictures on the 18:30pm news Edited October 8, 2021 by Never to the dark side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 8, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Well that has to be one of the most unusual live Sky sport bulletins that I have ever seen. Following footage of a Gareth Southgate interview they go over to Rob Dorset at the stadium to talk about teams news, next thing the camera pans to the left to reveal the TV gantry has gone up in flames Obviously having a 3g pitch isn't ideal with this happening pitch side so will be interesting to see what happens Luckily there should be enough time to put things right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently as well as the TV gantry the dugouts have been damaged . UEFA officials are in attendance.

bcfc01 Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 If there's any structural damage the game will be off. I assume there's time to find or build an alternative TV gantry ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Looks like the pitch has been singed! I wonder if that can be fixed in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 8, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Looking at the footage now, seems it looked much worse than it could have been Appears whatever was in the pitchside section of the gantry was what burnt, and been destroyed The home dugout, officials dugout and VAR scren have been damaged and part of the pitch is apparently affected The frame of the gantry is still in tact, but obviously needs to be structurally checked Luckily all contained in a small area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
