You can only applaud the initiative.
After picking up a six match stadium ban for abusing officials, the manager of Southern Premier League side Poole Town found an innovative way to watch his side play.
Positioning himself in the attic of a house adjacent to the ground, manager Tom Killock watched the game through a skylight, and saw every minute of his side’s win against Cambridge City.

Killock is quoted in the Bournmouth Echo as saying his vantage point was even better than usual.
“From the house, I can see the whole pitch. It’s always good to see the match but it’s tough to be so far away from the players.
“Fortunately, the players weren’t affected by the situation and they deserve all the credit for the win.”
