Mode
of Transport:
The train was taken for this mammoth journey,
as we traveled from Burgess Hill to Doncaster
via London St Pancras and Sheffield. |
 |
Team:
Mr Wilkins kept faith with the side that lost
last week to Tranmere, naming the following in
a 4-4-2 formation: Henderson, Whing, Butters,
Hinshlewood, Lynch; Fraser, Hammond, El-Abd, Cox;
Revell, Robinson. |
 |
Kit:
Doncaster wore their home strip of red and white
hooped shirts, red shorts and red stockings. Brighton
decided on their home shirt of blue and white
stripes on their jerseys, coupled with blue shorts
and stockings. Wayne Henderson went for an aqua
blue and gold jersey, coupled with edible dark
blue shorts and socks. |

Dean
Wilkins Attire:
Mr Wilkins chose to wear a tracksuit for today's
game, but extra marks were awarded for the use
of the tactics board in the dug out. |
 |
Weather:
A cold and drizzly day in South Yorkshire, no
doubt caused by the pollution from years of coal
mine abuse in this working mans town. |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
A classic ground from a bygone era - terracing
behind both goals with no roofing, and a basic
terrace along one stand, with a wooden, asbestos-filled
monstrosity making up the main stand, built above
another terrace. Reminiscent of flat caps, Bovril
and the golden age when children would be seen
and not heard. A joy and honor to be one of the
last away fans to visit this relic. 7/10

 |
Food
Rating:
McCarthy was delighted to purchase the last piece
of cheese from the 'kebab van', and both that
and his hot dog, another lubricated penis effort,
were rather tasteful. 7/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
A Santa Claus wandering around in November took
a lot of guile and was rather novel, as was the
cheap rip off of Leicester's trumpet entrance
for the team - obviously nowhere near the ear
drum-blowing effort of the Walkers. 4/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
Yet again, we discovered that Yorkshire folk are
some of the nicest around, as we chatted freely
to several in a pub - especially noticeable was
one with a 1950's working class style moustache,
who did not have a good word to say about his
club. 9/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
Following trips to Sheffield, we have always been
keen admirers of Yorkshire women. This was confirmed
today, with a ridiculously amount of erection-raising
lasses around, most notably on the train, which
conveniently passed through Meadowhall station,
ensuring all the young shopping type of girl was
on board. 8/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
No trouble at all, with one
even appearing to fall asleep. 7/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
Positioning the Crocs flag over rival firm the
Legends flag ensured ours gained a decent amount
of attention, despite the fact that Kane wore
it as a cloak for the journey to cover up the
copious amounts of mud he had over his back after
pulling McCarthy out of a bush on the evening
previous to the trip. 7/10 |
 |
Match
Report:
Brighton failed to have one significant chance
in their final appearance at Belle Vue, as Doncaster
leap frogged the Albion in the league with a 1-0
win. The goal came from former Brighton hate figure
and Crocs idol Mark McCammon, as he headed his
first league goal for his new club against his
former employers. |
 |
Thought
of the Day:
Would you rather sleep with each member of Girls
Aloud or play the 'Biscuit Game' with a selection
of former Premiership greats including Phil Babb,
Cobi Jones and Earl Barrett. |
