| A
Monday night in the steel city of Sheffield, the
very place that The Full Monty was filmed is
enough to get any mans blood flow going. So to
think that the famous Hillsborough ground was
our destination, for a match that would be
beamed to the nation on Sky was enough to have a
full erection going in the Witham Mobile, as we
explored Sheffield, culminating in the climax of
Sheffield Wednesday v Brighton |
|

|
 |
| Aunt
Sally - a fantastic pub where you only pay for
half of the meals you order. If only there were
more establishments like that down south |
These
old steel factories were used in the Full Monty.
Just the thought of Robert Carlisle being named
in their was enough to bend our forks |
 |
 |
| Inside
the superb Meadowhall shopping center, and this
delightful Yorkshire chap served us some cookies |
Yes
please! We vow to go shopping more often during
Crocs on Tour |
 |
 |
| This
road sign is handy in making sure we don't get
lost |
This
build up of traffic shows the ground most be
nearing |

box is where the sky presenters would be housed
for the evening |
Witham
is unsure as to what pose to pull.... |
 |
 |
| He
goes for the gem though - the classic Bruce
Forsyth! |
The
players tunnel |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
looks rather pompous ahead of kick off, with the
flag draped round him |
Cutting
fiddles with his hair, which is a tax dodging
student he cannot afford to cut |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
never says no to a bit of rubber in between his
teeth |
This
man was looking forward to the match beginning |
 |
 |
| The
stewards keep the masses of Brighton fans under
control |
Is
this person searching for a friend among the
crowd? |
 |
 |
| Cutting
looks rather nervous |
Gemma
looks forward to an entertaining game |
 |
 |
| As

Wednesday
have just taken the lead |
 |
 |
| Brighton
try to get back into it |
They
are not looking good though |
 |
 |
| They
push forward in the hope of sneaking a point |
And
bugger me, Kazim-Richards scores in the last
minute to salvage a point |
 |
 |
| A
point stolen from the hosts |
The
Brighton players come over to clap their support |

spell finishes |
 |
 |
| Witham
attempts to navigate his way out of Sheffield,
as we need to find the station in order to drop
Tom Cutting off so he can journey back to Uni at
Preston |
After
nearly 45 minutes of being lost, we find the
station and are able to dispose of Cutting, and
travel back to Sussex, arriving at 2am |
