EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in December 1969, this iconic print takes us back to a foggy day at the Manchester City pitch. As the match had been declared off due to the thick mist that engulfed the stadium, groundsmen swiftly sprung into action. In an effort to protect and preserve the grounds for future games, they meticulously placed a cover onto the field. The dark and eerie atmosphere created by the fog adds an element of mystery and intrigue to this snapshot from football history. This image not only showcases how weather conditions can impact sporting events but also highlights the dedication of both players and staff involved in maintaining these hallowed grounds. Despite their disappointment at not being able to play, their commitment shines through as they work together seamlessly. Transporting us back to the 1960s, this photograph serves as a reminder of simpler times when matches were played amidst natural elements without modern-day luxuries like artificial lighting or advanced technology. It is a testament to how far sports have come since then. As we gaze upon this scene captured by Mirrorpix's lens, we are reminded of those unsung heroes who ensure that our favorite stadiums remain pristine even under challenging circumstances.
