Wembley On Fire!

Here’s something you don’t see everyday:  Shot on location by one of our FootyFactor correspondents prior to Sunday’s Community Shield between Chelsea and Man Utd, this dramatic clip captures what appears to be Wembley Stadium on fire! With an eerie Avram Grant interview playing in the background and dark smoky skies forming over the iconic arch, the scene is set for a monumental encounter between two giants of the modern game.

As the smoke dispersed, the source of the blaze became clear:  a yellow fan bus in the middle of the main Wembley car park with its back-half on fire. Once the fire was extinguished, the car park was re-opened.  Fortunately, no one was injured.

The good news was that the front of the bus was left intact… so at least half the fans could get home!
