Crocs on Tour > 2005-06 > Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday - Monday 24/10/05

A Monday night in the steel city of Sheffield, the very place that The Full Monty was filmed is enough to get any mans blood flow going. So to think that the famous Hillsborough ground was our destination, for a match that would be beamed to the nation on Sky was enough to have a full erection going in the Witham Mobile, as we explored Sheffield, culminating in the climax of Sheffield Wednesday v Brighton.

 

Aunt Sally - a fantastic pub where you only pay for half of the meals you order. If only there were more establishments like that down south
These old steel factories were used in the Full Monty. Just the thought of Robert Carlisle being named in their was enough to bend our forks
Inside the superb Meadowhall shopping center, and this delightful Yorkshire chap served us some cookies
Yes please! We vow to go shopping more often during Crocs on Tour
This road sign is handy in making sure we don't get lost
This build up of traffic shows the ground most be nearing

Inside this famous arena
The ground that was used for Euro 96
A superb arena
Witham looks forward to the game in prospect
Tom Cutting came from Uni at Preston for his first match of the season
Wayne Henderson warms up before the game
Just incase you forgot where you were
The Brighton team warm up

Henderson practices his goal kicks
The big man himself - Mark McGhee oversees the warm up
This box is where the sky presenters would be housed for the evening
Witham is unsure as to what pose to pull....
He goes for the gem though - the classic Bruce Forsyth!
The players tunnel
McCarthy looks rather pompous ahead of kick off, with the flag draped round him
Cutting fiddles with his hair, which is a tax dodging student he cannot afford to cut
McCarthy never says no to a bit of rubber in between his teeth
This man was looking forward to the match beginning
The stewards keep the masses of Brighton fans under control
Is this person searching for a friend among the crowd?
Cutting looks rather nervous
Gemma looks forward to an entertaining game
As does her friend Amber, who was making her Crocs on Tour debut
Hillsborough awaits the kick off
The teams are on the pitch
Brighton prepare for the game after their customary huddle
Wayne Henderson would be hoping for another good game
He prepares
A Wednesday player is down injured
Unfortunately, he is unable to carry on
The Brighton subs warm up at half time
Wednesday keeper David Lucas ahead of the second half
The second half is underway
Wednesday have just taken the lead
Brighton try to get back into it
They are not looking good though
They push forward in the hope of sneaking a point
And bugger me, Kazim-Richards scores in the last minute to salvage a point
A point stolen from the hosts
The Brighton players come over to clap their support
Bob Booker leads the way, as Mark McGhee talks to his team
Henderson on his last away appearance before his loan spell finishes
Witham attempts to navigate his way out of Sheffield, as we need to find the station in order to drop Tom Cutting off so he can journey back to Uni at Preston
After nearly 45 minutes of being lost, we find the station and are able to dispose of Cutting, and travel back to Sussex, arriving at 2am
