On the day of the match I usually arrive at the ground between two and 2½ hours prior to kick off. There are a number of reasons to arrive early. Parking is often an issue; if I don't have parking at the ground I will need to find a parking spot as close as possible. Everton, for example, do issue parking to media, but it is the other end of Stanley Park which means a half mile walk.

At Wembley I had to pay £30 for parking which I was not too happy about, but then again it was only a five- minute walk to the ground. The other reason to arrive early is to get a power slot so that I can keep my Macbook Pro fully charged for the duration of the game. The couple of hours I have before the game is when I get all my captions ready for the game ahead. The less I have to do pitch-side, the more quickly I can despatch images.

I also utilise this time to start getting my gear ready, making sure all cameras have memory cards and cameras are set to the required settings I use for sport and the anticipated lighting conditions. Almost all independent sports pros use Photomechanic for image captioning, sorting and editing (Getty , for example, have their own software).
