The Stadium of No Light shambles in the Algarve could’ve been saved – if the local jobsworths had only listened to the Rangers fan who was on hand to fix it.
Holidaymaker Iain Martin – who runs an electrical company – jumped from the stands to come to the rescue when the floodlights packed in. Martin, 47, offered his expertise to get Saturday’s friendly with Sunderland back on after the Albufeira Municipal Stadium was plunged into darkness before the start of the second half.
Unfortunately there were not enough bright sparks around to take the advice on board – and fans were left chanting in the moonlight. Martin said: “It’s fair to say we ended up having a bit of a heated exchange. I run an electronic repair company who do fault finding on site at an industrial level. We’ve done work for the likes of Coca Cola and Tennent’s, big companies.
