Mode
of Transport:
The train was used for todays game, with a Southern
£20 day saver ticket getting us into Watford
Junction, followed by a similar offer on Silverlink
trains into Northampton. |
 |
Team:
Mr Wilkins implied his 4-4-2 system with a line
up of: FLInDers, El-Abd, Lynch, Butters, Mayo;
Robinson, Bertin, Hammond, Cox; Savage, Revell. |
 |
Kit:
Northampton chose their home number of claret
shirts, white shorts and claret socks, while the
visitors went for the away number of white shirts,
blue shorts and white socks. Scott Flinders went
for the dashing charcoal goalkeepers shirt, combined
with black shorts and stockings. |
 |
Dean
Wilkins Attire:
Dean combined his trench coat with the normal
tracksuit, and this time somewhat unorthodoxly
dispensed with the white dancing shoes in favor
of a pair of standard issue football boots. However,
more exciting was spotting Mr McGhee at Haywards
Heath station, wearing the blue shirt, no tie,
tight black trousers and a black blazer. He completed
this look with a sudoku puzzle book and a cup
of tea. |
 |
Weather:
A warm day in Northamptonshire, with the occasional
blustery wind. |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
A stadium that is now in its second decade of
usage, the Sixfields is made up of four individual
stands, all roughly the same in design and stature,
apart from the larger main stand on one side of
the pitch. 7/10 |
 |
Food
Rating:
The hotdogs were on offer were the common denomination
of the lubricated penis, but were pleasantly large
in size and texture. 7/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
Nothing could be spotted. |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
Having read some bad press about some adolescent
teenagers, we were delighted to see most locals
were friendly and more than willing to help us
during our stay in their town. However, the rating
does not reflect the fact that the Costa Lovebus
was stoned, in the sense that it had rocks thrown
at it, not in that its passengers had been smoking
cannabis, as it left the town. 7/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
Delightful. The town centre was awash with women
who would receive it in many holes - finally a
town that looks to rival Sheffield for this rating.
9/10 |

Steward
Rating:
Kind and helpful, with no trouble
whatsoever. 8/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
Neither Crocs flag was present at this game. |
 |
Match
Report:
Another two goals from moonwalking Bas Savage
was enough to give the Albion all three points
against mid table Northampton. The game looked
to be heading for a bore draw as neither team
created anything in the first half, but an improved
second half performance saw the Seagulls walk
away with all three points to all but guarantee
themselves their spot in League One for 2007-2008. |
 |
Thought
of the Day:
One fan complained to Rumble at half time about
the amount of songs about Bas Savage being sung,
to which Kane responded: "What are they singing,
Bas Savage is a black bastard?" |
