The Conference Premier match between Salisbury City and Chester City on Saturday must have been a real snoozer. Because during the match, a man parachuted down onto the pitch and interrupted the game. But rather than boo him or heckle him for causing a brief delay in the match, the crowd went wild for a few seconds and gave the man a standing ovation. And from the looks of things, the players themselves didn't even mind his presence. They shooed him away after he landed. But no one yelled at him or berated him at all for stopping the game.

Watch him stick his landing in the video above. Do you think he was expecting that kind of relatively warm welcome when he hit the ground?
