CARDIFF  CITY - TUESDAY 22/11/2005

REPORT | VIDEOS
Ninian Park has long been regarded as one of the most dangerous and intimidating places to watch football in Britain. With this reputation in mind, it was no surprise that not many Brighton fans would make the journey to Wales - especially on a Tuesday night. Crocs on Tour did however, and were surprised to discover that it was one of the best outings of the season!

Tom Witham is clearly delighted that he has been granted the honor of chief navigator for the journey to Wales McCarthy found this toy of Shrek in the back of the Kane Mobile
Witham is soon having a bit of fun with it We are on the Severn Bridge, leaving our homeland of England
England disappears behind us Witham looks happy at the opportunity to mingle with foreigners

McCarthy is distraught, as he leaves the country he was born in behind This machine toll was a let down, as we couldn't ask anyone where we had to show our passports, or what currency they used, or which side of the road we had to drive on
A foreign service station was a chance not to be passed Kane and Witham couldn't miss the chance to pose at a foreign Burger King
This service station worker was wearing patriotic Welsh colors of red and green This sign had a large portion in the language of the natives

In the service station shop, and Witham gets into the spirit with this toy sheep Meanwhile North Stand Chat's Fatboy, who was making his Crocs debut, arranged these sheep into a clever pattern

Neil miraculously fitted into this Bob the Builder simulator McCarthy had trouble fitting into Postman Pat, and when he did, it started moving for some reason
Inside the ground, and the sign we found so amusing in the toilet last season is still here! Possibly the best notice in the football league
Witham poses in the comftable Ninian Park toilet Neil fishes something out
The main stand The end behind the goal, complete with patriotic Welsh flag on the roof
The other side The Cardiff fans that the terrace behind the goal was shared with
The flag is hung up on the crash barrier The teams warm up ahead of the game
Neil and Witham look forward to the game in prospect The teams come onto the pitch
Neil is delighted to be in Wales This man had a rather splendid hat
The first half, as the two teams are equally matched The superb catering facilities, as the fans que for half time food

The price list. We dared not try Clarks Pie or Guest Pie, as we were not sure what would be in them - perhaps sheep testicles The man in the catering facility had a rather camp moustache - perhaps grown just for the visit of the gay army
This lovely Welsh lass who was selling programmes poses with McCarthy and Witham The steward did a fine job of making sure that the ground was safe
As did these two This netting is used to good effect with the large fence to separate the foreigners from mixing
The game continues in the second half Cardiff are 1-0 up, and its Alan Lee who gets the goal
Colin Kazim-Richards comes on, and it would prove to be a pivotal moment in the game The ref attempts to get things under control shortly after Kazim-Richards had scored
The game is deadlocked at 1-1 It is soon the final whistle, and Brighton have a good point
The players congratulate each other at the end of a hard fought game Paul Reid searches for someone in the crowd 
The players thank the fans for traveling abroad to support them A good result all round, although maybe it should have been 3 points
Ninian Park empties This steward wishes us well for the journey back to England with a cheery smile
