Mode
of Transport:
The Witham Mobile was taken from Portsmouth to
Bournemouth at 6am Saturday morning. From here,
an 8.30am flight was boarded to Edinburgh, where
a hire care was then purchased, allowing us to
drive south to Carlisle. |
 |
Team:
Micky went with a 4-4-2 line up of: Kuipers, Whing,
Elphick, El-Abd, Richards; Anyinsah, Livemore,
Johnson, Cox; Murray, Fleetwood |
 |
Kit:
Carlisle were in their first choice uniforms consisting
of blue shirts with white trim, blue shorts and
blue socks. Brighton were in their alternate kit
of yellow and navy stripes, navy shorts and navy
socks. Michel appeared in his red goalkeepers
jersey, along with black shorts and stockings. |

Micky
Adams Attire:
Mr Adams appeared in standard issue training kit,
complete with a large coat due to the coldness
of being virtually in the Arctic Circle. |
 |
Weather:
Fresh yet sunny, although we were unable to denote
whether the extreme amount of sunshine was infact
the northern lights |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
Old school. A large terrace with an excellent
roof featuring three triangles stands behind one
goal, a main stand with seating at the rear and
terracing towards the front is opposite the large
seating stand that is shared between home and
away fans, while a small, uncovered terrace is
unused behind one goal. 7/10 |
 |
Food
Rating:
The burgers were extremely small, and Nick Clayton's
cup-a-soup, which is a good purchase in principle,
was vaguely reminiscent of semen. 4/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
Nothing on offer. 0/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
The bar staff in our pre-game pub were friendly,
and the locals seemed to be pleasant enough people.
7/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females
High - both in Carlisle and Scotland there were
an excellent number of women who would definitely
have got it. 8/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
No problems at all, one even
joking with McCarthy that he would like to borrow
his Red Army hat. 8/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
We were unable to gauge the attention of the flag
as it is currently in Nottingham. Somewhere. |
 |
Match
Report:
Brighton's most disapointing away performance
of the season was met with chants of "You're
not fit to wear the shirt" as they went down
3-1 away at Carlisle. A lacklustre performance
lead to Micky Adams appologising to the fans who
had made the journey, with the only thing they
were able to cheer being a Matt Richards deflected
goal that served as nothing more than a consolation. |
 |
Thought
of the Day:
Rather than go to the game, would we be able to
successfully find Mark McGhee's house, and ask
him to sign the large picture of him that appeared
in Saturday's edition of the Scottish Sun. |
