| The
Alive and Kicking Fund was set up to provide the
club with some much needed income. So far it has
raised a lot. OK, I'm not sure exactly how much,
but its quite a bit. The lovely Liz Costa
decided to help swell the coffers by organising
a race night at Brighton Racecourse - races were
shown live on the big screen, which you were
able to bet on. It just wouldn't be racing
without McCarthy and Witham in the arena |
| Mode
of Transport: |
Journeyed
via the medium of an Automobile, with Tommy Mac
at the wheel to the real home of race horsing |
| Team: |
It
was a basic 1-1 formation. The round table
surface didn't allow for our usual slick passing
game, so we settle for Witham up-front with
McCarthy at the back |
| Kit: |
None
was used for the evening |
| Mark
McGhee's Attire: |
Mark
McGhee was not present at the evenings events,
but Chief-Executive Martin Perry was there,
wearing a blue shirt, combined with black blazer
and trousers. He also had a dashing tie on,
although we were unsure of the motif |
| Weather: |
Rain
lashed down on the arena, even turning into
sleet at one point, with a chilling wind |
| Stadium
Rating: |
A
comftable and suitable hall within the building.
Some views were obstructed, but generally well
received. 7/10 |
| Food
Rating: |
The
hotdogs tasted of rubber, and the burgers
contained onions not even partially cooked. A
poor effort. 2/10 |
| Entertainment: |
Superb.
Liz Costa being there made the night as
thrilling as it could really of been, and with
an interactive game of 'Play your cards right',
the evening was complete. Not forgetting the
Liverpool man who ran the racing, and just had
people laughing at his accent. 9/10 |
| Friendliness
of Locals: |
Very
friendly. Although this was not surprising
seeing as they were all Brighton fans. Although
a small pocket of Charlton fans were also
present, but they were also pleasant. 10/10 |
| Standard
of Local Females: |
None
really worth any credit were present at this
event. Although there was a high standard of
men. 2/10 |
| Flag
Attention: |
None.
Tom Stewart was not present |
| Match
Report: |
One
of the best performances of the year. You don't
expect to go to a fundraiser and make a profit,
but this was the case, as Witham and McCarthy
walked out with a cool £12 after spending £8
on the evening. Pick of the winners was the one
we back at 10/1 |
| Thought
of the Day: |
A
particularly nice barman was there, whom we
decided to call 'Clive'. It could only be:
"Can you imagine Clive and Liz Costa at it
on the bar" |
