| When
it is a warm summers evening in Sussex, there is
no better way to spend it than enjoying the
non-league football that our fine county has to
offer. With that in mind, we decided to make the
first ever Crocs on Tour non-league game a
pre-season friendly, as County League side
Littlehampton Town took on illustrious opponents
in the form of Conference team Crawley |
| Mode
of Transport: |
The
Witham Mobile was used to reach our destination,
and she performed admirably on the journey |
| Navigation: |
Not
as easy as we would've liked, as we went to the
wrong place to start with. However, this may
have been more down to the fact that we had no
directions and thus relied on a map, where the
ground was not actually labeled |
| Kit: |
Littlehampton
were in the home colours of yellow shirts, black
shorts and black stockings, while visitors
Crawley wore white shirts, red shorts and red
stockings |
| Weather: |
A
warm and sunny evening made for great football
viewing weather |
| Facilities: |
We
did not use the toilets on offer at the stadium,
but the burger hut was managed professionally by
Dianne |
| Stadium
Rating: |
The
ground is shared with the local cricket club,
which meant there were only stands on one side,
with the rest being just temporary perimeter
fencing. 2/10 |
| Food
Rating: |
Dianne
did a fine job with the food, as the hotdogs and
burgers were particularly nice and well priced.
However, the fact that oven chips were on offer
means that the rating drops slightly. 6/10 |
| Entertainment: |
There
was none at the ground, not even any pre-match
music, only one man behind the goal who was your
typical non-league anorak. 0/10 |
| Player
who stood out: |
Littlehampton's
second half goalkeeper was something special.
Wearing tight shorts with a fine pair of
buttocks, Wes made some vital saves to keep his
side in the game. With the current Albion
goalkeeper crisis, surely Mark McGhee cannot
ignore this man for much longer |
| Friendliness
of Locals: |
What
can you say? A man behind the goal was intent on
talking to us for a good 10 minutes, explaining
his stern letter to Hailsham FC for not having
any hotdogs, his anger at the fact that
Littlehampton had to wear their away kit at an
away game, despite the fact the colours didn't
clash, and finally how he saw a woman with
incredibly large breasts, and was like "Yes
please". Simply superb, and earns this
rating on his own. 10/10 |
| Standard
of Local Females: |
There
were few on offer at the ground, but two rather
attractive sisters sat next to us in the
'grandstand', although they were rather young.
6/10 |
| Flag
Attention: |
The
flag was not present |
| Match
Report: |
A
1-0 victory for Littlehampton was sealed from
the penalty spot against a Crawley Reserve Team.
However, it was the visitors who controlled most
of the game, and Littlehampton's victory was
largely thanks to the legendary Wes, who played
the second half in goal |
| Thought
of the Day: |
As
we drove to the game, discussing Tom Witham
gaining potential points for speeding, a
wonderful idea was formed - that of every road
having a special lane for drink drivers,
allowing people to drink and drive at the same
time. Genius |
