LEICESTER CITY - TUESDAY 27/09/2005

REPORT | VIDEOS
Another one of those enjoyable evening away trips, this time saw us travel to the Walkers Stadium to face Leicester City. Brighton are fast becoming the draw specialists in the division, so that was realistically what was expected from the game with the Foxes - although anything could happen, especially when you are playing against the England international and legend that is Dion Dublin

Leicester is signposted - we are getting closer to the destination We spot and stop in a Sports Soccer to buy a flag and get some pens. Tom Witham is appalled, and wishes to play no part in the creation of the Crocs on Tour flag
Neil gets out the pen He soon begins work on the project
Neil has a mare, and has to alter the design of his 'C' after messing the one of the end of 'Croc' up She is soon finished though, but McCarthy decides there is one thing missing

He adds a rather fat pink seagull to the top right hand corner  Back in the car, and the detour has cost us, as we discover we are lost
We cut up a couple of lanes of traffic as Witham points in the direction he feels we should be heading And he pulls it out the bag, as this sign shows us exactly where we need to head
We need petrol. Coming out a side road, McCarthy sees a 'No Right Turn' sign. He instructs Neil "Sod it, go right". Neil does so, only to discover we are heading the wrong way up a one-way carriageway. After much hooting and wanker signs, we stop, wait for the lights to change and thus the traffic to stop, and then continue towards the petrol station Oh yes - Gary is still outside this famous arena!
Tom Witham is delighted to find this image of Septimus Smith adorning the concourse of the Walkers Inside the Walkers

She is a beastly stadium The Albion players prepare for the game
Kane and Witham are excited about the match in prospect Neil takes this bizarre image
The Walkers is bathed in light McCarthy is shocked after the man behind placed his rectum rather near his face
This pie was rather hot Minutes away from the teams emergence onto the pitch
The home dugout is ridiculously big in comparison to the away one The teams are on the pitch
The Brighton players do their customary huddle The game is in progress
The scoreboard does its job of informing us it is 0-0 at half time Both teams look for an opening goal in the second half
Sebastian Carole prepares to take a corner Neither side can find that elusive first goal
A similar photo to last season - the Leicester fans begin to leave before the final whistle The game finishes at 0-0
A second clean sheet in a row at the Walkers for Brighton The players make their way over to applaud the traveling support
A fine point, although had Hammond scored the header it could of been all 3 We navigate our way out of Leicester impecably
This blurry picture of a cone shows that the M1 was stupidly reduced to one lane Witham looks like some sort of drug addict in this photo
The map is out, as Neil has come up with a rather foolish idea - shall we navigate central London rather than the M25 The players living in London are dropped off by the team coach at Toddington Services. We stop there, and park next to Leon Knights mini
With the team coach not far behind us, we pose for some photos with the car It is a beauty. On our return from inside the services, we would hold conversation with Leon and Albert Jarrett about the game, as they were getting ready to drive off
Inside the services, and Neil and Tom study the map to try and determine whether we should go through London. It is a tough call Kane drives straight past the M25 turn off, and decided we are going to go for the trip through the middle of London
Witham appears to be fully erect at the prospect of it While McCarthy appears to doubt the decision. 
This is a random street in London after we took a wrong turn - however, we somewhat surprisingly navigated her well, only getting lost twice The London Eye
The day was wrapped up in style by seeing Big Ben, showing we drove past him at 00.40 on Wednesday morning
