 THERE are a few things you expect to see when going to watch a football match. An alpaca disturbing the game certainly isn't one of them. Yes! You read that right. A local amateur club's league fixture was halted after the mammal found its way onto the pitch. Ilkley Town's visit to Carlton Athletic was paused for 20 minutes thanks to Oscar the alpaca. In a video which went viral, gaining almost 700,000 views, on Ilkley's Twitter page, the footage shows the animal racing towards the touchline before showing an interest in one of their players, Joe Garside. Danger was averted though and many laughs were shared all around in what was a lighthearted incident. Town boss Simon Armstrong was as surprised as everybody else. He said: "You know the Alpaca’s are in the field because they are next to the away dugout. "One of them jumped the gate, ran along the road, and came through the main entrance. Subsequently, it ran on the pitch. As soon as that happens, the game had to stop. |
