Offficial told me no photographing pitchside and when i enquired if any presentation before game he just grumped yes but i cant take photographs on he pitch.. same official told other photographers and one of them demanded to see someone higher up... another official comes and argues the toss with 4 of us until he finally allows us to photograph pitchside with the instruction..ok then but sit as far back as you can..

I found the whole experience to be amaturish and staff unhelpfull. I have photographed at nearly 400 football matches so can be said to be experienced
