| With
just 4 days till the start of the season, Mark
McGhee's men needed a stern challenge - and you
don't get much sterner than the Super Rooks of
Lewes. The newest edition to the Conference
South included such starts as Barrington
Belgrave, Luke Cornwall and Adebola Bankole.
There was no better way to start off Crocs on
Tour than with a game of this caliber |
| Mode
of Transport: |
We
took the 15 minute train journey from Brighton
to Lewes for this game, and then a 5 minute walk
to the ground through the scenic county town of
East Sussex |
| Team: |
A
reserve line-up of: May, Reid, Rents, El-Abd,
Hammond, Nicolas, Currie, Budd, Jarrett,
Robinson, Beck |
| Kit: |
The
dashing new Argentinean home strip was worn, and
Chris May wore a sexual ivory green goalkeepers
jersey with matching shorts |
| Mark
McGhee's Attire: |
A
fabulous light blue shirt with black pin stripe
blazer and no tie, black suit trousers and black
suit shoes |
| Weather: |
Warm
and sunny, a fine dusk evening over The Dripping
Pan |
| Stadium
Rating: |
This
ground is something special. Entitles 'The
Dripping Pan', it was all it was billed to be. A
fabulous terrace and 3 grass banks, one
completed with a small wooden seated area on top
off one of the banks. One of the best grounds we
are likely to visit this season. 9/10 |
| Food
Rating: |
A
cheeseburger was £2.40. The burger was twice
the size of the bun and cheese, which made it
quite a challenge to eat. An interesting effort
none-the-less, well enjoyed by us food experts.
6/10 |
| Entertainment: |
None
provided at the ground except for the gay romp
that happened between two boys in front of us. 4
separate ticket machines at Brighton station
rejecting Tom Witham's £20 note was a
highlight as we almost missed our train |
| Friendliness
of Locals: |
Some
were ok, although we had a heated exchange with
one bunch of fierce lads between 12-15 over our
flag, although we believe them to be inbreds |
| Standard
of Local Females: |
Disappointing.
One young blonde in front of us was scantly
dressed, but she was about 15 and was smoking.
4/10 |
| Flag
Attention: |
Lots.
The fact it reads 'OVYFC, THE CROCS' gave us an
edge over your usual flags, as one gentlemen
commented 'god knows what that's about' |
| Match
Report: |
A
2-2 draw and an entertaining game of football.
Jake Robinson and Paul Reid were on the score
sheet, as Albion showed their skill and talent
against the Ryman Division One South Champions |
| Thought
of the Day: |
Tom
Witham came up with a fabulous one. "What
if everyone individually ran into the center
circle and took the clothes off, and left a big
clothes pile in the middle, and we spent the
rest of the game naked. We could do we want as
the pile would obscure peoples view from the
other end" |
