REPORT
| VIDEO |
| An
up turn in form sees Brighton go to their former
home ground of the Priestfield Stadium,
Gillingham in good mood. Having pulled away from
the drop zone, and now in the top half of the
table, Dean Wilkins team would be looking to
complete the double over the Gills and make what
would be an extremely unlikely move towards the
play-off places |
|

|

|
| Kane
was at the wheel for todays trip into Kent |
Potter
looks surprisingly happy to be going to the
game, but by the end he was boring all of us |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
with traditional can of Strongbow in his
possesion |
Heavy
fog descends over the M25 |
 |
 |
| The
trusty directions from the AA that would once
again get us lost, leading to an argument
between Kane and McCarthy, in which they really
did bore each other |
Kane
refused to take up McCarthys suggestion of
driving onto the back of this lorry and seeing
where they ended up as an alternative to going
to the game |
 |
 |
| It
was the general consensus that Britney Spears
new wig makes her look like a blonde version of
John Lennon |
You
could only hope this lorry belonged to
ex-Brighton hero Chris McPhee |
 |
 |
| Kane
holds his breath as we travel through the Medway
Tunnel |
Potter
enjoys playing this fun-filled game |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
holding his breath meant he was unable to direct
Kane, which lead to more confusion over which
junction to take |
Having
arrived in Gillingham, we settle into a betting
shop to place some pointless wagers on the
evenings football |
 |
 |
| Potter
enjoys a burger and chips from the Kebab Shop recommended
by McCarthy |
As
does Kane, but there was a slight problem.... |
|

|
 |
| ....and
it wasn't this women crossing the roads choice
of headwear..... |
.....but
the fact that the food was infact simple
revolting. Naturally, it was Potters fault for
deciding to go in there |
 |
 |
| We
visit a pub that has lots of different shirts attached
to the roof |
Kane
looks slightly concerned as we attain the fact
that this man could be an inbred of some
desciption |
 |
 |
| The
pub even provided trays of free food at the bar,
which needless to say the Crocs devoured in
untimely fashion |
We
enter the stadium, and looking upwards you
couldn't help but question the safety of the
stand |
 |
 |
| The
Medway Stand |
The
Rainham End |
 |
 |
| The
Gordon Road Stand |
Potter
is happy to be in the stadium where he saw his
first Brighton game - a 4-0 defeat to Darlington |
 |
 |
| Kane
too looks happy to be here |
Legendary
fan Paul Samrah was in the building |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
deep in thought over all the memories that this
stadium holds for him |
Our
front row seats meant we could hear quite
clearly John Keeley describe Tommy Fraser as a
"f**king idiot" after the midfielder
launched a ball at him when he was facing the
other way |
 |
 |
| This
man tends to the pitch like it was his own child |
Tommy
True Blue attempts to do his bit to get the
crowd going, and lets face it, anyone who
doesn't get inspired by a giant horse has
serious medical problems |
 |
 |
| Scott
Flinders was making his debut on-loan from
Crystal Palace |
Gillingham
had seemingly made a major error, as the away
end appeared to have more fans in it than seats |
 |
 |
| The
Albion defend a corner |
Take
the n, the e, the r and the s out of Flinders
name and what have you got... |
 |
 |
| Rumble
was on the verge of tears after discovering the
burger kiosk had sold out of cheese and onion
pasties |
Kane
is delighted to have a hot piece of meat in-between
his teeth |
 |
 |
| While
McCarthy is more than used to this sort of
product in his mouth |
A
Gillingham player is accused of time wasting,
quite bizarre given the fact that they are 1-0
down |
 |
 |
| You
would like to think that the Dodd's Group is
infact owned by Brighton legend Jason Dodd |
Plymouth
legend Roman Larreaui was in goal for the Gills |
 |
 |
| Kanes
WAP system simply told us the message
"Sorry" - suggesting that our bets are
not coming in |
Row
A was empty, which meant for the first time ever
the Crocs had front-row seats, and were
therefore liable to being hit with the ball, as
they were on several near-misses during the game |
 |
 |
| Joe
Gatting is marked by Brent Sancho - the man who
had the honor of marking Peter Crouch for
Trinidad and Tobago in the World Cup |
Potter
was obviously boring some people, as it appeared
that he had been bottled for the second time
this season |
 |
 |
| Roman
knows he is unlucky to be staring at a defeat |
Adam
EL-Abd comes forward to get involved in a
"time wasting" corner, which he duly
cocks up |
|

|
 |
| Game
over, and luckily we didn't feel like hitting
our own relatives after todays game |
The
Albion players applaud the support after another
3 points |
 |
 |
| A
fine victory for the Seagulls |
Bas
will be delighted with his return to his former
club and the goal it has bought him |
