GETTING STUCK IN

Ash says: “At most football stadiums, you’ll see photographers sat behind the pitchside advertising boards at each goal end. Stamford Bridge is unusual because the fans are sat right behind the goals, meaning there’s no space for photographers, and so I have to sit along the long edges instead. 

“Although I’ve covered a few matches there, I’ve always been on the ‘wrong’ side, meaning I’m on the opposite side as the managers and away fans. This was my first game working on the right side, near our fans, so I knew I needed to make the most of the opportunity.
