Mode
of Transport:
Tom Witham drove to this one, as the Witham Mobile
negotiated tricky conditions on the M1. |
 |
Team:
A 4-4-2 line up of: Henderson, Hart, Butters,
McShane, Reid; Carole, Oatway, Hammond, Frutos;
Robinson, Knight. |
 |
Kit:
Sheffield Wednesday went for a stylish blue and
white number, complimented with black shorts and
black stockings. Brighton countered this with
their away kit of maroon shirts with matching
shorts and stockings. Wayne Henderson chose to
wear the Tour De France jersey in goal of yellow,
black and white, with black shorts and black stockings. |
 |
Mark
McGhee's Attire:
Mark McGhee went for a somewhat unorthodox uniform
of white and burgundy tracksuit jumper, and tracksuit
trousers. This was due to the fact that he had
a 'hands-on' role in the evenings pre-game warm
up. |
 |
Weather:
Blustery at times, with light drizzle during the
match. |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
What can you say about Hillsborough. It is something
special - a modern stadium inside, holding up
to 40,000, but unlike modern grounds it has that
historical quality to it due to its age. Looked
even more impressive under lights. 9/10 |
 |
Food
Rating:
A chicken balti pie went down quite well for McCarthy,
despite the fact he had enjoyed a curry prior
to the game. Tom Witham also found his burger
to be particularly tasteful. 7/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
Poor. Their was none on offer. The only thing
that could be classed as entertainment was the
music to which the teams emerged, which consisted
of Fatboy Slim remixed with what can only be described
as a rather loud fire alarm. 3/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
After dining in a Yorkshire pub, and taking in
the joys of the shopping center Meadowhall, we
found the locals to be particularly friendly and
helpful. 7/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
Many attractive women, both young and old were
seen in and around the ground, which was most
pleasing. 8/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
Rather poor. The stewards felt
the need to eject one man for just standing up
and telling the team exactly what he thought of
them. Quite over the top 2/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
The flag was not placed within the stadium, instead
Scott McCarthy chose to wear it as a robe. 3/10 |
 |
Match
Report:
A shocking performance in front of the Sky cameras
saw Sheffield Wednesday take the lead. They should
of scored several times more, before Mark McGhee's
shrewd decision to throw on Colin Kazim-Richards
paid off, as the Coca Cola Kid headed in a last
minute equaliser to earn Brighton a point |
 |
Thought
of the Day:
We discussed the merits of all of the candidates
for the Tory Party Leadership, deciding that David
Cameron must have a huge penis, so is clearly
the man for the job. |
