Level 5 Referee
I know TV is different but even with the yellow ball I’m losing it in the fog. Can’t begin to imagine what it’s like for those behind either goal.

TV pressure notwithstanding there’s a good chance this won’t finish if this fog gets any thicker.

I'm watching and have a mate in the ground too.

Reckon it comes across worse on tv but it's still not ideal
 
My mate is a York fan who goes to every game and he said it was fine in the ground. It often looks a lot worse on TV.
 
You can see the far stand and therefore the goal. The guidance is can the players and spectators see all parts of the pitch, in this case I think they could. The referee would have also been under huge pressure to play the game due to the broadcasters, but also both clubs who would have lost £60,000 in TV revenue had it been called off, that is huge money for clubs at those levels.
