Description

Film shot at Manchester City's Maine Road stadium. Ground staff are seen carrying out repairs, clearing rubbish and preparing the pitch whilst the groundsman is heard talking about the stadium and his work. The film closes with shots of a football hitting the back of the net whilst a crowd is heard roaring its approval. The stadium is empty.

This film, along with thousands of others from across the country, can also be viewed online as part of BFI: Britain on Film - player.bfi.org.uk/britain-on-film/
