There was a swathe
of colour around
the stadium. Lots
of loud voices couldbe heard and there
was a hush of
expectation as the
players emerged.
It started with a

the vibrations in mystomach. This was
it. The smell of
beer and hot dogs
fuelled my hunger
for the match

Everyone was
smiling like
Cheshire cats. This
was heaven.
Rooster were aboutto take the stage.
The noise of the
amplifiers growled
like lions about to
take their prey
Noise bled through
the amplifiers. I
could feel the thud
of drums like an
extra heart-beat.The day had been
ripped open by the
hellish marriage of
string and vocals.
This was heaven!
