As I was going through photos from a recent trip to the states, I found this from the last football match I attended – newly installed poles (no pun intended!) with cameras trained on the fans rather than the players. There are about a dozen around the pitch. If we’re here long enough to buy season tickets again, it will be worth looking for seats with the least obstructed view!
I should also say that I got to meet Kasia, a Poznan native now living in Houston, while I was home. From our blogosphere connection, I knew we would hit it off, and we did!

It was a pleasure to meet you Lois! Thank you for taking the time to have lunch with me – I enjoyed it immensely. I am looking forward to seeing you again in June – in Poznan!

Btw – the stadium looks quite empty.

Kasia, you're right. We arrived early, but attendance has been light. At least the Kolejorz end zone has been full and making noise.

A Legia Warsaw game earlier this season saw a big banner with the picture of a black coloured man being crossed out, as well as a Star of David being crossed out together with the words "white power". Club authorities said they couldn't do nowt as they "didn't know who the fans are". I guess having cameras aids detection.
