Leicester
is signposted - we are getting closer to the
destination
|
We
spot and stop in a Sports Soccer to buy a flag
and get some pens. Tom Witham is appalled, and
wishes to play no part in the creation of the
Crocs on Tour flag
|
|
|
|
|
Neil
gets out the pen
|
He
soon begins work on the project
|
|
|
|
|
Neil
has a mare, and has to alter the design of his
'C' after messing the one of the end of 'Croc'
up
|
She
is soon finished though, but McCarthy decides
there is one thing missing
|
|
|
|
|
He
adds a rather fat pink seagull to the top right
hand corner
|
Back
in the car, and the detour has cost us, as we
discover we are lost
|
|
|
|
|
We
cut up a couple of lanes of traffic as Witham
points in the direction he feels we should be
heading
|
And
he pulls it out the bag, as this sign shows
us exactly where we need to head
|
|
|
|
|
We
need petrol. Coming out a side road, McCarthy
sees a 'No Right Turn' sign. He instructs Neil
"Sod it, go right". Neil does so, only to discover
we are heading the wrong way up a one-way carriageway.
After much hooting and wanker signs, we stop,
wait for the lights to change and thus the traffic
to stop, and then continue towards the petrol
station
|
Oh
yes - Gary is still outside this famous arena!
|
|
|
|
|
Tom
Witham is delighted to find this image of Septimus
Smith adorning the concourse of the Walkers
|
Inside
the Walkers
|
|
|
|
|
She
is a beastly stadium
|
The
Albion players prepare for the game
|
|
|
|
|
Kane
and Witham are excited about the match in prospect
|
Neil
takes this bizarre image
|
|
|
|
|
The
Walkers is bathed in light
|
McCarthy
is shocked after the man behind placed his rectum
rather near his face
|
|
|
|
|
This
pie was rather hot
|
Minutes
away from the teams emergence onto the pitch
|
|
|
|
|
The
home dugout is ridiculously big in comparison
to the away one
|
The
teams are on the pitch
|
|
|
|
|
The
Brighton players do their customary huddle
|
The
game is in progress
|
|
|
|
|
The
scoreboard does its job of informing us it is
0-0 at half time
|
Both
teams look for an opening goal in the second
half
|
|
|
|
|
Sebastian
Carole prepares to take a corner
|
Neither
side can find that elusive first goal
|
|
|
|
|
A
similar photo to last season - the Leicester
fans begin to leave before the final whistle
|
The
game finishes at 0-0
|
|
|
|
|
A
second clean sheet in a row at the Walkers for
Brighton
|
The
players make their way over to applaud the traveling
support
|
|
|
|
|
A
fine point, although had Hammond scored the
header it could of been all 3
|
We
navigate our way out of Leicester impecably
|
|
|
|
|
This
blurry picture of a cone shows that the M1 was
stupidly reduced to one lane
|
Witham
looks like some sort of drug addict in this
photo
|
|
|
|
|
The
map is out, as Neil has come up with a rather
foolish idea - shall we navigate central London
rather than the M25
|
The
players living in London are dropped off by
the team coach at Toddington Services. We stop
there, and park next to Leon Knights mini
|
|
|
|
|
With
the team coach not far behind us, we pose for
some photos with the car
|
It
is a beauty. On our return from inside the services,
we would hold conversation with Leon and Albert
Jarrett about the game, as they were getting
ready to drive off
|
|
|
|
|
Inside
the services, and Neil and Tom study the map
to try and determine whether we should go through
London. It is a tough call
|
Kane
drives straight past the M25 turn off, and decided
we are going to go for the trip through the
middle of London
|
|
|
|
|
Witham
appears to be fully erect at the prospect of
it
|
While
McCarthy appears to doubt the decision.
|
|
|
|
|
This
is a random street in London after we took a
wrong turn - however, we somewhat surprisingly
navigated her well, only getting lost twice
|
The
London Eye

|
|
|
The
day was wrapped up in style by seeing Big Ben,
showing we drove past him at 00.40 on Wednesday
morning
