Question Smoke from top of N/E floodlight pylon?

[KrustyTheKray]

What was all that about?

Had one of the bulbs caught alight, or was it some sort of electrical fire?

Did anyone else see this?

Didn't look too good though!

Was worried for quite a while! None of the stewards or anyone seemed bothered and seeing as it would only have affected the Leeds fans I wasn't as worried as I might have been!

The fire marshall was in the South stand and if you ask me - he DID look bothered. He was in constant communication with other people RE: The floodlights and they all felt it wasn't a massive issue although they did keep their eye on it.

Could have been disasterous had the situation worsened.

It was a Bin Laden pigeon on a 9/11 anniversary run which hit one of the hot bulbs and went up in smoke

Lucky Luca pointed it out to me. Seemed to settle down after a short time.

No he was on a stool.

Yes, we saw it, and the sick pigeon. Assumed it was just a light that had blown strangely. Was Dash in our stand then and he didn't come and say hello?

It was originally reported by a steward from the carpark. As for not seeming bothered stewards and security from the south bank were in constant conversation with the fire marshall and the police. Perhaps we should had panicked instead and then have the leeds fan making a dash for the nearest exit including the pitch, followed by everybody else.
