    Hey guys

    I am living not far from the mount Sion field and I just heard an almighty bang coming from there. Actually shook the house. As I type I can see large plumes of smoke coming from the direction of the field. Anyone know what's happening? Can't got check with 2 small kids asleep in the house and judging by the amount of smoke it's probably not a good idea

    Just got to take a walk to the field. All quiet up there but so much smoke around its hard to tell where it's coming from in the dark. The tent seemed to fine as did the clubhouse.

    Ah, Im sure if something happened the firebrigade will say so on friendface. Id say it might have just been some lads arsing around or something to do with the show. Well, I hope anyway.
