Standing behind the air fence on the bend , this sounds serious if the Police ordered the stadium to be cleared and the air ambulance landing close by. Fingers crossed for good news.

The H Man 252 Posted August 4, 2023 Been told it was the broken lamp standard that hit cameraman rather than bike. Hoping it’s positive news in his condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’re a big space on the terracing where fans can walk round to stand or exit the Stadium. Also a greyhound track. Don’t really know where the photographer was though.Don’t think he would be allowed in greyhound space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fingers crossed for good news. Seen most cameramen tin yellow vests standing on dog tracks at many stadiums taking photos over the air fences. As for air ambulances, I have called 999 3 in the last four years. They are used when it’s difficult for the ambulance due to distance to hospital or driving surface, or when there’s a rush to get the casualty to hospital. Let’s all hope it’s just precautionary and we all hear better news later this evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
