| Waking
up with a head that feels like Anne Widicombe
has been sat on it for a week, there is no
better way to clear the post-New Years Eve
hangover than with a South Coast Derby away at
Bournemouth. After a night of hard partying, it
was a full Crocs contingent that made the
journey west to see if Dean Wilkins men could
halt the 3 game losing streak and start 2007
with a bang - and they would have good reason
to, with the unveiling of the new Crocs on Tour
flag |

|

|
| McCarthy
manages to tug off Witham's gear stick knob, as
we await for him to emerge from the Woodland
Cottage to begin the journey |
Potter
looks forward to the journey in the car |
 |
 |
| Tom
Witham, now refreshed after a brief stop in
Westdene, is ready to begin driving duties |
McCarthy
uses the age-old technique of a pint of milk to
settle his stomach down after last nights
consumption |
 |
 |
| Tom
Stewart is soon picked up and ready for the day
ahead |
Stewart
suggests we forget Bournemouth and the
inevitable disapointment, and visit Arundel
Castle |
 |
 |
| Potter
suggests we forget Bournemouth and the
inevitable disapointment, and visit Fratton Park |
Witham
suggests we forget Bournemouth and the
inevitable disapointment, and stay at his
University accommodation |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
suggests we forget Bournemouth and the
inevitable disapointment, and visit HM Naval
Base (Unicorn Gate) |
The
New Forest, a poor mans Ashdown Forest |
 |
 |
| We
overtake the Costa Lovebus |
The
Fitness First Stadium is reached |
 |
 |
| Potter
is happy to have arrived in Bournemouth |
Witham
is now also the proud owner of the 'incredibly
gay scarf', as popularised by Potter |
|

|
 |
| Stewart
is an eager beaver when it comes to getting into
the stadium |
After
sharing a kiss at midnight, Witham and McCarthy
risk a public indecency charge to take things
one step further on the bonnet of the Witham
Mobile |
 |
 |
| What
a sight |
Stewart
gets carried away with the amount of sodium
chloride he puts on his chips.....or was it just
Potters dandruff? |
 |
 |
| The
players coach pull into the arena |
Guy
Butters, looking like a rugged stallion, alights
from the vehicle |
 |
 |
| Joel
Lynch and Dean Hammond collect their kit bags |
Tommy
Fraser signs some autographs |
 |
 |
| Mr
Wilkins talks to the fans to thank them for
their support |
After
allegations that the female members of his
family engage in lesbian sex, Potter storms off
in a fit of rage |
 |
 |
| Wayne
Henderson warms up for the game |
Stewart
and Potter can be seen struggling to erect the
flag |
 |
 |
| The
Withdean stand behind the goal |
A
packed main stand |
 |
 |
| The
San Siro of League One |
With
Stewart and Potter failing dramatically,
McCarthy single handedly erects the flag |
 |
 |
| That
is exactly why decorating a flag at 3am on New
Years Day when intoxicated is a bad idea |
Tom
Witham looks forward to the big game |
 |
 |
| Stewart
in an excited manner as it is revealed new
signing Nathan the Elder is on the bench |
Potter
licks his scarf, no doubt imagining it is Tommy Fraser's
penis |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
is puzzled as we discus where Bournemouth
goalkeeping legend Gareth Stewart is now plying
his trade |
McCarthy
gave a retro away shirt from the 1991-92 season
an outing to celebrate the new year |
 |
 |
| One
question that remained unanswered is why Dean
Cox was warming up with the mascots |
Meridian
and Sky Sports News finest TV presenter, Andy Steggal
was in the building |
 |
 |
| This
man takes some photos of the Brighton support,
no doubt wanting to capture the debut of the
Turienzo Memorial Flag |
The
team enter the stadium to rapturous applause |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
couldn't help but feel slightly homosexual as he
wore a womens bracelet that was found in the
Witham Mobile |
Has
their ever been a more attractive player to wear
the Brighton and Hove Albion kit than Wayne
Henderson? |
 |
 |
| This
photo is not blurred, it is just the sheer
amount of rain that fell in the monsoon season |
Jake
Robinson goes past his man like he wasn't there |
 |
 |
| Unsurprisingly,
its all Bournemouth going forward |
This
man was superb, taking every opportunity to moan
and make angry hand gestures towards both the opposition
and the Albion |
|

|
 |
| Set
pieces were yet again disappointing, as another
corner is wasted |
Its
all over - maybe removing the goals during the
game is a tactic Mr Wilkins should employ if his
side are to avoid a second successive
relegation? |
