Stadium
Rating:
Easily the most unique and most enjoyable stadium
in the league. The main stand is a double tiered
afair, as is the home end behind the goal, while
the other two stands are comprised of large, single
tiered efforts. The unique roofing system resembles
an semi-erect penis, with four large floodlights
in each corner. With a large crowd in to say goodbye
to Andy Booth, the atmosphere was also top notch.
9/10 |

Food
Rating:
The lack of hot dogs on offer was more than made
up for by the unique pizza pod, a sort of pastie
device that was filled with cheese and tomato
reminiscent of a pizza. Delightful. 8/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
A ludicrous amount of cheerleaders were on hand
to perform for the fans before the game and during
the half time break. 8/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
Unlike their Yorkshire cousins in Leeds, the people
of Huddersfield were excellent. Extremely friendly
before and after the game, many wished us luck
on our quest for survival. 8/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
A few fit girls were seen in and around the stadium,
but given Yorkshires usually excellent record
for standard of females, it was a bit of a let
down. 6/10 |

Steward
Rating:
Spent the majority of the game
calling people "boys" and attempting
to get the away support to sit down, obviously
unaware of the importance of the game and that
people do tend to stand up when things are that
tense. 3/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
The new Crocs Welsh flag was not taken to todays
game. |
 |
Match
Report:
Brighton left their fate in their hands following
a 2-2 draw away at Huddersfield. Andy Booth, in
his last ever home game before retirement, headed
the home side ahead before Calvin Andrew, on as
a 10 minute substitute for Gary Hart, equalised.
Huddersfield regained the lead in the second half,
before Lloyd Owusu made it six goals in six games
to send the Seagulls home with a point, and knowing
that victory in the final game of the season against
Stockport will keep them up regardless of other
results. |

Thought
of the Day:
Would an officer of the law let you off of a drink
driving charge if you explained to him that you
had been sensible in your consumption, and only
drank Guinness? |
