We
questioned how two people could need this much
luggage - the only logical answer we could come
up with was 'French'
|
Rumble
was unsatisfied with his sandwich as it was
nutty - this was hardly surprising given the
fact it said on the packet it contained nuts
|

Lawrence
was looking forward to his Crocs on Tour debut

Potter

attempted to steal

Wetherspoons
is the port of call, as Lawrence enjoys a Full
English
|
McCarthy
goes for his normal breakfast sandwich
|
|
|
|
|
While
Potter is once again left waiting for his food
|
Rumble
had a collection of vouchers that we were able
to use to ensure drinks were even cheaper than
Wetherspoons normal prices
|
|

|
|
It
was only right that Robin Hood was advertised
in the city where he was made famous
|
We
jump into a taxi headed for a pub nearer to
the stadium, which was too much of a sizable
walk for Crocs fitness levels to cope with
|
|
|
|
|
Lawrence
and Potter enjoy a pint in our new found pub
|
A
few games of pool are taken, including one ludicrous

dishes out some more drinks thanks to our bargain
pitcher of Carling

|
|
|

The

Half
time comes around and it is still 0-0

A
Forest player hits the ground, unable to cope
with the Albion
|
This
bright sunshine was only suitable on such a
religious day as Easter Monday
|
|

|
Forest
attempt to snatch a goal
|
There
was no chance of that happening though with
Doug Loft on

A
last chance for Forest to grab the three points

Its
a hard earned draw for the Seagulls

seems much more at home with this attractive
blonde however

Rumble
had managed to smuggle this bell from the pub
by the ground

Potter
looks confused, as we finally realise that the
flag has gone missing at some point after the
game

some much needed sleep
