Football fan trapped inside stadium

Hello, anyone there?

Who turned the lights out?

A rescue mission occurred after Exeter City's 1-1 draw this afternoon 

Football fan Ben Reardon, who watched Port Vale draw 1-1 with Exeter City in League 2 this afternoon, published a tweet after the game seeking help. Somehow, Mr Reardon was "locked" inside the stadium after the match with nobody around to let him out. 

The Port Vale supporter published a tweet that received more than 130 likes and 80 shares. Luckily, just under 20 minutes after his tweet, Mr Reardon was set free by the staff at Port Vale.

Just imagine if his phone died and he had no point of contact, what would he do... Spend the night there? 

Meanwhile, Exeter City were denied all three points at Vale Park. Despite leading 1-0 through a Nicky Law goal, the hosts equalised in the seventh minute of stoppage time to deny the Grecians a hard earnt victory. 

Matt Taylor's men drop to third place, five points behind league leaders Lincoln.
