| The
opening game of pre-season is traditionally
played against Worthing at Woodside Road, and
following Brightons relegation, it would be the
first chance to watch the team since the disappointing
5-1 defeat against Stoke City at the end of last
season. With a number of trialists and young
players involved, it would be interesting to see
how the team got on, with Mr McGhee remaining as
manager despite building pressure |
|
|
 |
| We
take advantage of a 5 cans for £6 offer, and
head to the beach to drink them. Unfortunately,
we then realise that we don't know which
Worthing station we need to get off at. Witham
attempts to rectify the situation |
It
is a lovely day for passion on the beach |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
was wearing his Turienzo shirt as a tribute to
the great man, and a protest at Mr McGhee
releasing him |
Witham
is on the phone to find out where we need to go,
and luckily Colin Witham is able to give us
perfect instructions from Worthing station to
Woodside Road |
 |
 |
| Witham
keeps up his fine record, as again he struggles
to operate the ticket machine |
Witham
and Mark enjoy the journey to Worthing,
finishing off the Strongbow |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
looks happy to be back following the Albion |
Witham
managed to fall over nothing as we made our way
to the ground, which was rather amusing |
 |
 |
| In
the stadium, and chips are needed for sobering
up |
McCarthy
enjoys a cheese burger |
 |
 |
| After
entering the bar, we managed to infiltrate the
Worthing FC kitchen |
Michel
Kuipers was back between the sticks |
 |
 |
| There
is a decent turn out of Brighton supporters
gathered behind the goal |
We
soon bumped into John Boy and Edward Scissorhands
behind the goal |
|
|
 |
| The
stand is buzzing |
It
was good to see Michel's fine arse back in a
pair of Albion shorts |
 |
 |
| Chairman
Dick Knight enjoys the game in this rather
attractive blue shirt. Has he been taking
fashion tips from Mr McGhee? |
The
game continues, Brighton 1-0 up |
 |
 |
| Half
time, and who should we bump into but Clayton |
In
the bar, and Funnell and McCarthy meet Maheta
Molango, whose eyes were incredibly strange |
 |
 |
| Richard
Carpenter makes his way over to take a second
half corner |
McCarthy
with Guy Butters and Kerry Mayo, who smelt
incredibly nice |
 |
 |
| Time
for another burger |

second half |
 |
 |
| Brighton
continue to dominate on their way to a 4-0 win |
Game
over, and Funnell is happy with the result |
 |
 |
| A
good performance, and a rare Brighton win |
Colin
Kazim-Richards stops for a photo as he wanders
the ground |
 |
 |
| Mr
McGhee today proved why he is considered a God
of fashion |
Former
Southern Counties Radio presenter Ian Hart signs
the flag, and was delighted when Potter told him
that he was in the presence of the man who came
up with quotes on the phone in such as
"When the wind blows, it blows through
every crack" |
 |
 |
| The
team listens to words of advice from Mr McGhee |
McCarthy
and Witham share a moment |

Michel
was looking almost as good as he does in his kit |
 |
 |
| Mr
McGhee was delighted to have his photo with the
flag, and yet again doesn't disappoint with his
famous 'crooked smile" |
His
buttocks looked extremely ample |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
and Witham go for a closer look |

through a picture with the Crocs after his debut
goal |
 |
 |
| Southern
Counties Radio presenter Andrew Hawes was
delighted when Funnell told him he should be
taking over from John Motson |
For
some reason, we decided to go to the dog track
on our return from Worthing, despite not having
any money to gamble with |
 |
 |
| In
the end, McCarthy and Funnell doubled their
money, enabling them to purchase more drink |
The
highlight though was seen this man, who
incredibly only had one eyebrow |
