| The
Forty Notes Fund was set up to raise money for
the might Seagulls. It pays for players wages
when they join on-loan, and in the past has paid
for Dave Beasant, Tony Rougier and Ben Roberts.
The annual quiz night was held to raise money
for the fund. Tom Witham, Neil Kane, Tom
Cutting, Scott McCarthy and his young mistress
Carina made up the Crocs on Tour team - entitled
'Pethlife - The Unofficial Robbie Pethick
fanclub' |
| Mode
of Transport: |
We
met at the real home of football that is
Withdean, and journeyed from their in the Kane
Mobile to the pub in Patcham |
| Team: |
We
played a 3-2 formation, with Cutting, Witham and
Kane sitting at the back one-side of the table,
and McCarthy and Carina at the front of the
table |
| Kit: |
No
formal kit was used for the evening, although
Neil supplied us with his Brighton shirt
embodied with the immortal words: "Pethick
14" |
| Mark
McGhee's Attire: |
Mark
McGhee was not present at the evenings
activities, but the man who was captain and
lifted both the Division 3 and Division 2
Championships with the club, Paul Rogers, was
present, wearing an extremely dashing polo neck |
| Weather: |
A
chilled night outside, inside the stadium was
warm |
| Stadium
Rating: |
The
Ladies Mile had kindly given the function room
over for free. It was a large arena, with a
well-stocked bar and good PA System. The
wallpaper was particularly arousing, although
the whole room had marvelous decor. 7/10 |
| Food
Rating: |
Free
peanuts and crisps were provided at each table,
and these went down a treat. The beer on offer
was particularly fine as well. 8/10 |
| Entertainment: |
Extremely
impressive. A rendition of the new version of
Tom Hark - entitled 'We want Falmer' was played
before the match. The quiz master was a witty
chap as well, who kept the crowds entertained
with quick-fire jokes. 8/10 |
| Friendliness
of Locals: |
Marvelous.
A room full of Brighton fans though, so what can
you really expect. Good banter was held with the
team to our right hand side, who soon realised
that we were using WAP to get answers. 10/10 |
| Standard
of Local Females: |
One
particularly nice girl was selling raffle
tickets. "£5 for 2 strips", to which
Neil responded "That's a bit cheap".
Luckily she didn't pick up on the sexual context
of the remark. 4/10 |
| Flag
Attention: |
Tom
Stewart was not present, so the flag was not
viewable inside the arena |
| Match
Report: |
We
started well, using WAP to our advantage to gain
answers to questions that we didn't know.
However, as we steadily drank more beer,
interest in the quiz wandered off, and we ended
up in a comftable mid-table position come the
end of the evening |
| Thought
of the Day: |
"What
would you do if Liz Costa walked into the quiz
totally naked?" was a question posed.
Witham responded with: "Stand up and
applaud, although I'd have trouble hiding my
delight downstairs" |
