Mode

and consisted of: Andersen, Whing, Heath, El-Abd,
Borrowdale; Fraser, Jarrett, Bangura, McLeod;
Davies, Owusu |
 |
Kit:
Leyton Orient wore their home kits consisting
of all red shirts, shorts and socks. Brighton
were once again in their alternative uniforms
of sky blue shirts, shorts and socks. Mikkel Andersen
marked his debut with the yellow, black and white
goalkeepers jersey in flair short sleeve style,
alongside black shorts and black socks |
 |
Russell
Slade's Attire:
Put simply, unbe-fucking-lievable. Russell appeared
in a light brown suit with white shirt and standard
issue club tie. It was even rumored that he was
wearing cufflinks. Finally, a man to rival the
fashion sense and sheer style of Mark McGhee has
arrived |
 |
Weather:
While not blazingly warm, it was pleasant enough
to allow Jenkins to make the journey in shorts. |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
Two small stands are positioned behind the goals,
with one slightly risen from pitch level. A large,
new main stand was opposite where away fans were
housed, which was the original main stand consisting
of a large, two tiered effort. 8/10 |
 |
Food
Rating:
Rumble was able to purchase a customised cheese
roll due to the lack of vegetarian options, while
McCarthy had two hotdogs of the lubricated penis
variety. 6/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
Nothing on offer. 0/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
A mixed reaction really. Most Orient fans we met
seemed pleasant enough, but the fact that there
were nearly has many Brighton fans in attendance
as there were of home supporters denoted that
would probably be the case. 7/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
No real fit women were spotted anywhere in the
Leyton area. 2/10. |
 |
Steward
Rating:
No problems, allowed fans to
stand and were generally discreet. 7/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
The new Crocs on Tour flag made its debut at the
back of the stand, and gained a lot of attention,
mainly due to the fact that people were questioning
why exactly a Welsh football flag was in attendance.
8/10 |

Match
Report:
An improved first half performance from Russell
Slade's Brighton team was not enough to prevent
them slipping further into the relegation zone
following a 2-1 defeat at Leyton Orient. Matt
Heath grabbed a debut goal following a scramble
in the box, but Scott McGleish got an equaliser
from the penalty spot on the stroke of half time
before Sean Thornton bent in a superb finish to
give the home side all three points and send the
Seagulls to another damaging defeat. |

Thought
of the Day:
After Rumble's window was broken at same point
during our Friday night out on the town, Kane
commented that he would have been a window licker
had their been a window to lick. |
