McCarthy,
Kane and Huggins can hardly contain their delight
as the car edges ever closer to Scunthorpe
|
We
have arrived at our resting point - and what
a fine travelodge it is
|
|
|
|
|
Ben
was delighted to find this complimentary bible
in the room
|
It
was soon time to bust out the PS2 for some Fifa
- McCarthy and Kane met in the final game of
the league season to decide the title
|
|
|
|
|
McCarthy's
Rotherham traveling to Gresty Road to face Kane's
Crewe
|
And
it's Neil who is triumphant, winning the match
and the league
|
|
|
|
|
Huggins
can't believe it - a draw between the 2 teams
would've seen his Millwall crowned Champions
|
McCarthy
is just as gutted
|
|
|
|
|
The
final league table
|
Their
was a Tesco Extra that was open 24 hours opposite
the lodge - we took the opportunity to stock
up on doughnuts
|
|
|
|
|
Huggins
tucks into one
|
Its
Saturday - we make our way to Hull, including
crossing the famous Humber Bridge
|
|
|
|
|
'Brian'
takes our money at the toll - £2.50 is a fair
price to pay for the honor of being on top of
Britain's ultimate river
|
The
petrol gauge was worrying low - especially as
we couldn't find a petrol station anywhere
|
|
|
|
|
But
alas, we got to one eventually, and as she was
filled up, it gave McCarthy and Kane the chance
to explore
|
Is
there a better way to take in the Humber than
by boat?
|
|
|
|
|
McCarthy
and Kane pose by the Humber
|
This
is perhaps one of the greatest road signs you
will ever see
|
|
|
|
|
The
petrol station had a bargain offer of 5 packets
of crisp for 50p. Neil couldn't say no
|
Into
Hull City Centre we went, and this lovely food
area. McCarthy 'enjoys' a pizza
|
|
|
|
|
The
tomato puree was over the top, and looked more
like some form of anal discharge
|
We
wondered if this woman was aware that her glasses
were on top of her head
|
|
|
|
|
Huggins
enjoys some pasta
|
Witham
tucks into his slice of pizza
|
|
|
|
|
Some
local chavs prove that Hull really is not a
nice place to live
|
Witham
and Gemma enjoy lunch, with the prospect of
the KC just too much to handle
|
|
|
|
|
This
woman was called Betty, and did a superb job
of clearing up
|
In
the shopping area we found a pound shop that
sold gnomes. Kane, McCarthy and Witham duly
purchased them
|
|
|
|
|
The
locals who were in this car park must of thought
what fools
|
And
after a long walk, partly as we ended up getting
lost, we finally find the KC
|
|
|
|
|
The
stadium was generously built by Hull City Council
|
She
is just as nice inside as she is from the outside
|
|
|
|
|
The
main stand
|
A
fine arena
|
|
|
|
|
McCarthy
looks forward to the game in prospect
|
Witham
and Gemma
|
|
|
|
|
And
Neil was obviously aroused, especially as the
news filtered through that Mark McCammon was
on the bench
|
This
is our new goalkeeper, on loan from Rennes in
France. He was on the bench today
|
|
|
|
|
Mark
McCammon warms up
|
The
two teams emerge onto the pitch
|
|
|
|
|
England
legend Nick Barmby lined up for the home side
|
Its
amazing what the Italians can do. Errea have
managed to combine pink and grey on this goal
shirt, and make it look good
|
|
|
|
|
Brighton
are 1-0 down at half time - the second half
about to begin
|
And
Mark McGhee knows what to do - Mark McCammon
is introduced along with Alexis Nicolas
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately,
the start to the second half is delayed, as
the linesman has found a hole in the goal net
|
Brighton
try to pull it back to 1-1 from the corner
|
|
|
|
|
This
linesman was a tosser
|
And
its all over, Brighton still without a win after
falling 2-0
|
|
|
|
|
We
wander back to the car - is this perhaps the
most ugly looking building in Britain?
|
The
day is finished on a high though, as we buy
a burger from this wonderful man in the city,
whom we nicknamed Alan
