Default Lightning and football grounds

As some of you might know a game was abandoned and one called off last

night
at Old Trafford because there was lots of lightning around and the

referee
feared for the safety of the players (and fans). Would there really

have
been any significant risk


I would have been off like a shot if I had been on the pitch! There were
a lot of volts flying around there, and a lot of expensive people.

Probably most importantly, Sir Alex agreed with the referee!
