| There
is nothing better than some bush on a Saturday.
With this motto in mind, it was a 4 man Crocs on
Tour team that made its way to Shepherds Bush
for the away match at the Loft, as Brighton took
on Queens Park Rangers. With a day of fun and
frolic on the trains, the legendary Danny Shittu
playing, and Tom Stewart making his first Crocs
on Tour appearance in over a year, it was all
set up to be one of the trips of the season |

Stewart studies this interesting board as we
wait for the train at Brighton |
This
is the train we would be catching, if we could
resist the temptation to go to Ashford
International |

| Witham
enjoys a taste of Jack on the train |

Victoria and the famous International Cheese
Centre |
Potter
whips out 20p so each person can go to the
toilet, where McCarthy decided to get his moneys
worth by excreting |
|
|
 |
| Tom
Stewart attempts to work the ticket machine at
the underground station |
Witham
is quite worried in case one of our fellow tube
travelers is planning on blowing us up |
|
|
 |
| McCarthy
can't bear the thought of it |
After
changing at Oxford Circus, the original
threesome enjoy the trip |
|
|
 |
| Stewart
celebrates our arrival in the Bush by wearing
the flag as biblical-style cloak |
Its
only Shepherds Bush market |
 |
 |
| We
wondered if this mush had any Trevor Francis
tracksuits |
The
lights of the Loft come into view |

seats gave us close proximity to the locals |

Dodd is on the bench! |
BBC
Television Centre - the thought that we were
within 1500 metres of Terry Wogan's place of
work was simply arousing |
|
|
 |
| Potter
ties up the Crocs flag after it had fallen into
the lower tier due to Stewarts shambolic knot
tying ability |
The
teams enter the Loft |
 |
 |
| Brighton
are ready for action |
The
away side complete their huddle |
 |
 |
| This
QPR fan was making gay gestures towards the
Brighton support |
He
is soon put in his place by this steward though |
 |
 |
| Another
image that conjures up thoughts of Terry Wogan |

the football league |

| Marvelous
scenes - Jason Dodd takes to the field |

 |
| Is
this advertising board the best in the country? |
The
match heads for a 1-1 draw after a bizarre own
goal |
 |
 |
| Game
over, and its a point for the Albion |
Guy
Butters claps the fans, as the captain must
surely know his side are heading for League One |
