Cheltenham Town - Saturday 09/02/08

Brightons fourth meeting of the season with Cheltenham - and their first in the league - would see the Seagulls travel to Whaddon Road. With McCarthy now living in the Spa town, the Crocs held their annual themed evening - this time named after Michael D'Agostinho and  spread over 48 hours prior to the game. This involved a night of disgrace in Cheltenham on Thursday, a trip to the Millennium Stadium on Friday and finally a scrabble session Friday night, before the clash on Saturday.
