The 2007/2008 season of the Hyndai A-League has been my introduction to football ( apart from my son playing rooball). And what a season it has been. From the very first game i attended in the beginning i was well and truly hooked! I remember walking to EAS from where i had parked my car and hearing the Squadron in full voice for the first time...it immediately spread a grin across my face that lasted all game and i havent looked back. I'm a fan...well and truly. I've attended every home game bar their first, and travelled to their derby's against the Mariners at the CC. I've been caught up in the atmosphere and here we are right now on the eve of a major Grand Final Derby! All i can say is this has been the perfect year to become involved and i only wish i had been from the get-go.
I've photographed many of the games from the sidelines.....but this means you dont really get to see the game played as everybody else does. Looking through the lens just isnt the same as watching the game...but it has it's own rewards in taking home 'souvenirs' to view at leisure. So some games i opted to just watch and appreciate ....it's now such a hard desicion on game day: Do i shoot or watch? If you'd care to view some of my Jets images you can check them out here in my event galleries: http://www.pbase.com/nicbenson/galleries . I'll add more shortly.
I'm all set to head off to the Big Game tomorrow at SFS.... i simply can't wait! We jump on the supporter bus @ noon. It's been an exciting and nailbiting Finals series & I've only just recoverd my voice after last weekends Prelim. And i fully expect another week of scratchy , throaty noices instead of my usual voice for the coming week. Hopefully recovered just in time for next weekend's wedding! I've decided to leave the camera gear at home...settling to take a little P&S camera just to capture the atmosphere.
So look out for my next blog entry - post Grand Final. Whether it be with jubilation or commiseration the highlight of the season is going to well remembered!
To the team and all involved i wish you the very best of luck in tomorrow's game and thank you for the season and giving me another passion. You've done us proud!
GO THE JETS!!!!!!!!!
