Crocs on Tour > 2005-06 > Millwall
Millwall - Saturday 02/04/06

Millwall - the setting for that illustrious movie Football Factory. Would there be a better match to potentially end the Crocs on Tour 2005-2006 season than in 'bandit country', down 'deep sarf' with a trip to the New Den. With both sides struggling at the bottom, and defeat for Brighton virtually consigning the team to League One, the Crocs on Tour were hoping that today, 6 months after the season began, they would see their first away victory of the season.

 

Breakfast is taken in Truffles, Burgess Hill - the waitresses are particularly attractive
McCarthy and Stewart took the cheap option of buying drink from Lidl - £1.99 cider and a cheap pack of Murphys

Witham and Potter were in charge of this weeks guest lager, choosing 8 cans of Carlsberg. It was then we realised we would have to drink 16 cans in a 45 minute train journey
Tom Witham cannot wait to get into the Den

Stewart puts his tongue into a rim
Potter tests out the guest drink

While McCarthy can see why this Cider was so dirt cheap, comparing the taste to cat urin
We decorate the train with both Crocs on Tour flags

How many empties could we construct on this tower before she collapsed
Once in London, and we are soon lost looking for a pub

We find the Market Porter though - and she only sells Sussex finest, Harveys! (The drink, not the bed shop)
Potter enjoys his pint

Witham is delighted to enjoy a liquid born in Sussex
McCarthy pulls the Bruce Forsyth pose

We purchase our tickets to South Bermondsey
On the specially constructed path, direct from the station into the away end

The Den comes into view

Sir Danny Cullip and John Boy from North Stand Chat ahead of the big game
Stewart is inside the Den
Witham looks forward to a day of football
Potter is all smiles ahead of kick off

So is McCarthy
The main stand
Seeing 'Den' written in yellow seats is one of the most intimidating sights in world football
We wonder what the day will have in store
This big screen was most impressive
This policeman ensures order remains
This power station is reminiscent in size of the Crocs penises
Brighton come onto the pitch for the big game
We singled out Paul McShane as looking particularly edible in the maroon kit
Millwall have an early attack

But Millwall are soon kicking off, Paul Reid putting the Seagulls 1-0 up
And they are soon kicking off again - Paul McShane making it 2-0, as this hand in front applauds
Millwall fans are getting angry, as the police arrive on the scene
Stewart and Witham in a sense of shock - Brighton winning at the break
McCarthy enjoys a steaming hot pie
Will we see a more arousing sight this season - Andy Marshall's perfect posterior
Joe Gatting blares a decent chance wide
Mr McGhee directs his troops
The Den can hardly believe it - Brighton looking likely to win
Colin Kazim-Richards has an injury
It was hard to remember we were not watching an episode of the Bill
The final whistle goes, Brighton win 2-0
Simply unbelievable!
The Crocs go home happy this evening!
