|
REPORT |
| 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! |
|
|
 |
| We're
in Leicester, and Tom Stewart looks forward to
the game. |
This
larger than life image of Gary Lineker was most
arrousing |
 |
 |
| Leicester's
main stand |
And
the fabulous home end behind the goal |
 |
 |
| Tom
Cutting, Tom Witham and Stewart look forward to
the game in prospect |
The
Albion come out for their warm up |
 |
|
| Tom
Cutting shows no concern for others, as he
climbs over this seat on his way to the food
kiosk - and he leaves this nasty footprint. He
should be put down for that sort of act |
The
Brighton team jog across the pitch in a
near-perfect line |
 |
 |
| Chris
May and Michel Kuipers warm up |
Nathan
Jones kneels down in the doggy position |
 |
 |
| And
Stewart gets quite excited by it |
But
not as excited as Witham, when he sees Jason
Wilcox on the front cover of the programme |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
and Stewart look forward to the match, live on
Sky |
The
players complete their warm ups |
|
|
|
| The
ballboys attempt to make the flag wave, but its
saggy in the middle. They soon get bored and
give up |
The
teams enter the stadium |
 |
 |
| Brighton
look quite dashing in the yellow away kit |
Englands
finest, Ian Walker is in goal for Leicester |
 |
 |
| The
match is about to kick off |
The
Leicester fans have come in the numbers to
support their team today |
 |
 |
| Ian
Walker looks to launch a quick Leicester counter
attack |
Contrary
to popular belief, this was in fact a hotdog |
 |
 |
| The
half time whistle goes, and Brighton take in a
1-0 lead, thanks to super striker Adam Virgo |
It
was good to see Smith and Jones were at the game |
 |
 |
| Leicester's
half time entertainment included a version of
the crossbar challenge |
And
the Leicestershire Foxes cricketers paraded the
Twenty20 trophy around the ground |
 |
 |
| Brighton
appear, fresh and ready for the second half |
'Stand
up, if you want Falmer' |
 |
 |
| The
Leicester fans are on their feet singing 'Does
your boyfriend know your here' |
The
Leicester fans are despaired, as Brighton hang
on to their 1 goal lead |
 |
 |
| Brighton
defend valiantly and try to hang on to the lead |
Tom
Stewart can sense a Brighton victory as the
fourth official indicates 4 minutes of added
time |
 |
 |
| And
the Leicester fans can sense a Brighton victory,
as they start leaving early. 'We can see you
sneaking out' |
Leicester
miss their last chance, as James Scrowcroft
heads over from a free-kick |
 |
 |
| And
the final whistle goes, Brighton beat title
favorites Leicester 1-0 |
Stewart
and Witham applaud the team after a hard fought
victory |
 |
 |
| The
fans sing Sussex by the Sea |
And
the victorious side applaud their fans |
 |
 |
| The
players leave the field |
The
Leicester stands are soon empty |
 |
|
| And
Stewart is a happy man! |
