Mode
of Transport:
Neil Kane was behind the wheel of the Kane Mobile,
as we made our way through the eastern countryside
to Norwich. |
 |
Team:
A 4-4-2 line up of: Henderson, El Abd, Butters,
McShane, Lynch; Hinshlewood, Hammond, Carpenter,
Frutos; Hart, Gatting. |
 |
Kit:
Norwich wore their traditional home colours of
yellow jerseys with green trim, green shorts and
yellow stockings. Brighton went for their second
choice kit of all maroon, while Wayne Henderson
chose the green goalkeepers jersey with black
and white trim, black shorts and black stockings. |
 |
Mark
McGhee's Attire:
Mr McGhee wore his traditional suit, complete
with a white Errea training jacket. |
 |
Weather:
A fresh but clear night in East Anglia. |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
Carrow Road is a nice mixture of old and new,
with large, two tiered stands behind each goal
and an intimate, one tier affair along the touchline.
It offers good facilities as well, and seeing
bright yellow seats was also rather arousing.
7/10. |
 |
Food
Rating:
The hotdogs were cheap in comparison to food prices
around this division at £2.40, and were
rather tasteful, so much so that McCarthy purchased
2. 7/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
None on other, except for a man who was wearing
what was believed to be a canary suit walking
around the pitch. A poor effort, especially given
the high standards set by Coventry City. 2/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
Extremely friendly. Firstly, one local farmer
directed us towards a car park we could use, and
then the programme sellers sent us in the direction
of a local pub. When we were unable to find it,
we followed some locals, whom were particularly
pleasant as they explained their unhappiness with
City boss Nigel Worthington. 9/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
Lots on offer, ranging from the attractive women
in the ticket office to those females in the pub.
7/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
We had no real dealings with
the stewards, although from a few complaints around
us they were rather poor. 4/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
The flag was taken into the ground, but unfortunately
was not displayed to full effect as Potter managed
to make a complete pigs ear of displaying it. |
 |
Match
Report:
It was another defeat on the road for Brighton,
as Norwich City recorded their first win in 4
games to send the visitors even deeper into relegation
trouble. An even match saw Norwich take the lead,
and the Seagulls day was not helped by the referee
sending Adam Hinshlewood off for two bookable
offences, on the defenders first appearance since
damaging his knee ligaments in March. Robert Earnshaw
compounded the Albion's misery with 2 late strikes
to ensure Norwich gained all the points in a 3-0
win. |

Thought
of the Day:
Unfortunately, the thought of the day from this
trip is probably unprintable due to legal reasons. |
