Must be a footballing first, someone’s just set the pitch on fire! Just shows that 3G pitches and flares don’t mix well! Referee inspecting the burned area.
I turned up to referee a game a few years ago - must have been about this time of year, because someone had lit a bonfire on the pitch the night before.
Ground was too hot to touch, even at 10 in the morning - had to dispatch home club to fetch copious buckets of water to cool the area before we could start!
