A recent visit to Liverpool football club

Tuesday evening my son, Andrew - pictured - had the opportunity to visit Liverpool football club and watch Liverpool win another round of the European Cup, beating AC Milan 2 nil. Despite the bitterly cold evening, with a full moon arching over the stadium, the atmospher was electric, and the Liverpool fans supported the players - and manager - throughout the game. It has been years since I last attended a professinal game, and to hear the Liverpool fans celebrate the two goals was something unique. The event, plus the visual display, with all the colour, lighting and the atmospher, got me thinking about possible paintings - especially the fans arriving at the stadium, with the mobile caterers and takaways doing a brisk job, but the lighting of the streets, full of fans, with the mobile caterers I think is fertile ground for several paintings.
