 |
Kit:
Millwall appeared in their home kits of blue shirts,
white shorts and blue socks. Brighton wore their
limited edition, one game only white kit for the
second time this season, coupled with blue shorts
and white socks. Michel wore a delightful black
goalkeepers number with sky blue and white trim,
coupled with block shorts and stockings. |
 |
Dean
White and Bob Booker's Attire:
Dean and Bob wore delightful matching numbers
consisting of standard issue training jumpers
and tracksuit trousers. |
 |
Weather:
A sun and suprisingly warm day for the middle
of February. |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
Four stands of similar nature make up The Den,
each consisting of two reasonably sized seated
tiers, while one side is completed with executive
boxes. 8/10 |
 |
Food
Rating:
Potters £3 burger, minus cheese, looked
like it had been plucked fresh from a hippo's
bottom, while McCarthys hotdog roll could probably
have cut through cheese given how hard it was.
6/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
Nothing on offer. 0/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
As can be expected from Millwall, terrible. One
man in a dashing burbery cap spent the entire
game goading fans, while we were fortunate to
escape from South Bermondsey train station this
time with only a coining, although pint glasses
and stones were reported to have been thrown.
-2/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
No women were spotted at the game, which is hardly
surprising given the pond life that we surveyed
supporting Millwall. |
 |
Steward
Rating:
Allowed fans to stand and were
helpful. 7/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
We were unable to gauge the attention of the flag
as it is currently in Nottingham. Somewhere. |
 |
Match
Report:
Brighton began life minus Micky Adams with a well
earned 1-0 victory at Millwall. Despite being
leaderless, the visitors were good value for their
three points, which came courtersy of an Adam
Virgo header, giving the new manager the perfect
spring board to build on and attempt to drag the
Seagulls to safety. |
 |
Thought
of the Day:
If you were Micky Adams and knew you were going
to be sacked, would you play Kuipers up-front
and Cox in goal or any other similarly bizarre
decisions? |
