IMAGES |
| Following
their first win of the season on Saturday at
home to Preston, Brighton were looking to pick
up some more points away at Leicester. This bank
holiday Monday match kicked off at 12.30pm due
to Sky Coverage, and Adam Virgo played center
forward for the second game in a row. It was
Witham, Stewart, McCarthy and Cutting life at
the Walkers Bowl - and this time we have photos! |
| Mode
of Transport: |
Yet
again, we mounted Liz for the second time this
season, as Mrs Costa provided her excellent away
travell |
| Team: |
A
4-4-2 line up of: Kuipers, El-Abd, Cullip,
Butters, Mayo, Hinshlewood, Nicolas, Hammond,
Currie, Virgo and Knight |
| Kit: |
Leicester's
royal blue number meant we wore all yellow with
black trim, while Kuipers were a short sleeved
dark green number, that really showed off his
bulky muscles, alongside black shorts and socks |
| Mark
McGhee's Attire: |
A
rather arousing white shirt with no tie, a black
blazer and lovely black trousers and shoes. Into
the second half and he removed his blazer |
| Weather: |
There
was sun about at times, but a large amount of
cloud cover, and a chilling wind rippled through
the bowl at times |
| Stadium
Rating: |
The
Walkers Bowl is similar to all of the new
grounds recently opened. No marks for
originality, would receive a 4. But there was a
larger-than-life image of Gary Lineker on the
outside of the stadium, so this certainly boosts
the marks up. 7/10 |
| Food
Rating: |
The
hotdogs looked more like penis' and were foul.
The pies looked distasteful. But the crisps on
offer boosted up this rating. Yes, you've
guessed it. They were Walkers. 6/10 |
| Entertainment: |
Fantastic.
One man with his trumpet before kick off
deafened the ground, and sounded more like a cat
being strangled. The ball boys feeble attempt at
making the parachute in the center circle
'wave', and then realising they couldn't do it
and getting bored. Then half time saw a
'crossbar challenge', and the Leicestershire
Foxes parading the Twenty20 trophy round the
ground. 9/10 |
| Friendliness
of Locals: |
Disgusting.
Sung "does your boyfriend know your
here", although we rather like that song.
Especially the reply "We're gay, and we're
beating you". Also received many one
fingered salutes at the end - a case of sour
grapes perhaps. 2/10 |
| Standard
of Local Females: |
None
seemed present at the stadium. The men were poor
as well - all had shaven heads and wore
burberry. 1/10 |
| Flag
Attention: |
None.
The flag made the journey, but was not taken
into the stadium. |
| Match
Report: |
Championship
favorites Leicester were beaten 1-0 by Brighton.
Adam Virgo, usually a right back, got the goal
with a sweet turn and finish. Brighton then hung
on and hung on in similar fashion to last
season, but Michel Kuipers was rarely troubled
in the Brighton goal. In the end, a well earnt 3
points for 'the batty boys' |
| Thought
of the Day: |
A
combined effort really of Witham, Stewart and
McCarthy. In response to the 'does your
boyfriend know your here' chant, we came up
with: "Can you imagine if all the Brighton
fans just invaded the pitch, lined up round the
center circle in a massive circle, and just
started doing each other up the arse. That would
shut the Leicester fans up. And the great thing
is everyone would get some action because it
would be one big circle" |
