Day Two: TV Signal and routines in place

So Day 1 was very busy as it always is at the start of the competition. Having left the stadium the night before with all cables plugged in we assumed we had a TV signal but there was no way to be sure. Arriving early doors on Saturday we found that in fact we had no TV signal! Well I say no TV signal, we had sound but we’re not making a radio show here. After some quick talks with the TV people we managed to get a convertor box…the last one! Then the pictures were coming through nice and clear.

Not much chance to see much of the hockey earlier on in the day but later as things began to get into place we got to watch some of the Germany vs Ireland game and then later on settle down for the women’s England vs Belgium. The day was swelteringly hot which made watching the hockey good, playing not so much.
