You need 2.8 and 1600iso when shooting night football. Even at professional level, its the reason i got rid of my 70-300vr and got the 80-200 2.8 instead.

Its a lot darker than you think isnt it! 
 
My D70 used to struggle but its awesome with the D300, hardly any noise at 1600, i was even going up to 3200 for quicker Shutter speeds   
 
Nice to know you thought of me too matt, i often think of you

Yeah it caught me out first night match i shot. One of the photographers i shoot with at York said ill be needing 1600 and 2.8 and i thought "nah, be light enough surely" soon as the light died down i was like "bollocks"

Much better if you know them I guess - you'll be fine, you've certainly got the right glass for use in the church, be fine

Haven't looked into that tbh Andy but i did think of it. It's typical, i had 2 bodies (D300 & D70s) and never found i needed 2, the minute i sell my D70 body this comes along!

good luck jj, I really want to try one but id need to be someones second/assistant first time round   then go to a few peoples who i knew (which i dont   ) 
 
gonna go into another photographers soon for studio lessons as the last person i went to i feel is more porn/modely instead of family/freinds portraits stuff.
