Śląsk Wrocław Fan Rents Crane To Watch His Side Play Away

A football fan in Poland hired a crane so he could watch his side play away from home.

The COVID-19 pandemic meant that the fixture between Śląsk Wrocław and Wisla Plock was played behind closed doors with no supporters present.

But one passionate fan wasn't having it and craftily exploited a loophole. He made the trip to the away game and rented the lift basket so that he had the perfect view for Slask's 2-1 win.

The club posted a picture of him in the air and were able to find him, with midfielder Krzysztof Mączyński praising him for his incredible depths of support.

It's not the first time something like this has happened. Back in 2018, a Denizlispor fan had a stadium ban so for their game against Gaziantepspor he rented a crane and watched it from the cushty platform.

More recently, a group of Porto fans somehow managed to climb onto the roof of the Estadio do Dragao for game against Maritimo.

And of course, they brought plenty of pyro.
