Crocs on Tour > 2005-06 > AFC Bournemouth
AFC Bournemouth - Saturday 30/07/05

A disappointing pre-season campaign saw Brighton take hammerings at both Oxford and Colchester. However, with the promise of a sandy beach, the Crocs on Tour decided to make Bournemouth their first outing of the season, as they travelled to the Fitness First Stadium, looking to see an Albion victory.

 

We don't know where we are going, but with the team coach just in front we decided to follow them
The car is parked in Bournemouth town center
The players have gone for lunch in a hotel, so we decide to explore the town
This aborigine was part of a band playing in the shopping area
McCarthy gets on the dance floor to give this fine band some of his spare change
They did have particularly nice rears
McCarthy shakes the hand of a man pretending to be a statue. We wondered if he really was silver all over, and whether he caught the bus like that
This man was bizarrely lying down with his hood over his face. Witham joined him for a relaxation moment
We had arrived on the luxury of a sand beach
And soon got to work on sculpting something in the sand
Oh yes, the locals could hardly believe it
The ultimate sand penis
McCarthy gets a closer look
Look how big Tom is!

It really was the Brighton invasion of Bournemouth
After the thrill of the beach, we headed to the ground
Tom Witham tucks into a surprisingly nice pie
The main stand
The stand behind the goal
The "Withdean" Stand, that was not yet open
This man had somehow wandered into the stand that wasn't open
The Coca Cola kid, Colin Kazim-Richards warms up
We were unsure and slightly un nerved by what was on the seat in front
Witham looks seductive ahead of kick off
This man was perhaps the greatest steward in the country
McCarthy eagerly anticipates the kick off
The Bournemouth announcer was an interesting chap, and not just because of his hair
Oh yes! We spot some cheerleaders waiting to come on
And here they go, fantastic entertainment
This one was blonde and particularly attractive
The Brighton team come onto the pitch
Young Richard Martin was in goal for the Albion
The Brighton coaching staff try to work out how they will fit in the dugout
The match, about to begin
Mark McCammon wins the header
Its the second half, and Charlie Oatway has just put Brighton 1-0 up
Bournemouth is full of tramps. The stadium is empty, yet this man still refused to pay to get in, electing to watch from a tree
Kerry Mayo prepares to take a throw
Brighton win 2-1, as the players clap the fans
The Brighton players leave the pitch
