Photographs by Alan Johnson 

Fed up with trying to take pictures under the lights and in the rain I decided to undertake a photographic experiment. As my flash is only effective to about 10 feet I decided to do with out it and see what happens. The results were poor, while the light was OK  an increased exposure time is required and any movement of the subject produces a poor photograph. I think I will have to give up trying to take pictures in these conditions.
I managaged to catch Cliff Hase, the Clubs photographer  with his two! cameras at the ready
A still Leroy Chambers and Hyde's goal keeper Graham Bennett waiting for a corner to be taken  
James Glendenning  beats a diving Graham Bennett with a fierce shot in injury time for his first goal for the Club to equalize the score.

While the photo's not much good at least it was a goal!
