I received a call from one of the backroom staff at the game to tell me about the lights going out and as he was on the phone to me the match commissioner told him the game was abandoned and that the reason for the power cut was due to a sub station fault. I couldn't put it on the forum at the time as I was away from my pc. Some of the lights stayed on as they were on a different circuit to those that went out. A bit like your lighting at home having a separate circuit for upstairs and downstairs.
Some of the lights stayed on, but mainly on the other side of the pitch, I think the changing rooms and main stand also lost power, in the bar after the match later on (where power had remained for a while) the lights went on and off once or twice. Probably while United United utilities were working elsewhere,
