AFTER DINNER, THE GAME

When tackling this project I decided to stay with one area of the ground for each match, well that was the plan. Over the 1997/1998 season the fans took harshly to the chairman and the executives. That reason meant my planning to spend a game photographing the executive suites was put into disarray.

But thankfully a few of the executive box owners allowed me into their pads to photograph how the other half watch the game. In fact it is like two different worlds, the outside is almost blocked out - the crowd noise is optionally piped in through a small speaker, while the TV screen at the back of the room shows a basic one-camera coverage of the game. It definitely lacks atmosphere.
