Northampton Town - Saturday 27/09/08

A poor run of league form that hadn't seen a win in over a month was all but forgotten following Wednesdays shock Carling Cup victory, as little Brighton and their athletics track defeated the richest sporting team in the world on penalties to move into the third round for the first time since 1994. It was back to earth with a bang though, as Northampton away was a chance to get the league campaign back on track. With a bowling alley on location at Sixfields, it was a fine day to combine two of the best ball games around, soccer and ten pin bowling!

 

Witham takes the wheel for the short journey from Oxford to Northampton
Upton had disapointingly not bought any sausage rolls for the days journey
While McCarthy had bought the regulation Strongbow
The chimney dedicated to the Crocs genitalia was still standing in Northampton

Upton and McCarthy are men, climbing this fence, while Witham scurries underneath it
Joy does turn to confussion though as Upton falls off after attempting to stand on the top

The bowling alley is soon located, and the first ever Crocs bowling game is underway
Witham is soon required to tie the shoes of some spastic
Who was suprisingly not Potter
Upton is also unable to tie his laces
Clayton Chris had a disapointing day at the office
Witham selects his ball..
And proceeds to bowl a spare
Clayton send another down, although rumour has it Potter took this picture for the jail bait on the left 

Rumble soon discovered us within the bowling alley
Upton sends down another fine delivery for a spare
Potter is once again undertaking his angry pose. What could be the cause of such hatred this time?
It soon transpired that somebody had ruined one of his goals by launching a ball that became stuck in the gutter just as he was about to bowl
The culprit is soon identified
McCarthy watches as another of his deliveries trickles into the gutter

Clayton was beginning to find his line now
But it was not enough to stop him finishing last, with Witham winning by some distance
McCarthy had made a complete mess out of his bowling shoes
Sixfields came into view, and the decision was taken to enter the stadium rather than watching the game from the hill
The Main Stand
The stand behind the goal
The other stand, effectively advertising Carlsberg
This man had a deep rooted hatred of Andre Whing, and successfully managed to stack it over a bag as he attempted to exit for some refreshments
It was nice to see Gary Glitter getting his life back on track by attending the game
Glen Murray prepares to take a first half penalty for Brighton
And its in for a 1-0 lead
Tommy Fraser shows off what a lovely rear he has
The Albion players wait to attack a free-kick into the box, which would naturally end in disappointment
Fraser whips another one into the box
The queue for half time refreshments proved just how popular Sixfields food outlets are
McCarthy could hardly believe the size of queue, and the fact that it put him off going for the standard lubricated penis
The second half continues
If a man the size of Akinfenwa can play professional football, there is hope yet for the Crocs
Northampton prepare to send a corner into the box
The 93rd minute, and Kuipers is celebrating a goal from Glen Murray which has to be the winner

Five minutes of added time were indicated, as the match re-commences
Adrian can hardly contain his excitement
Northampton chuck their keeper forward for the corner in one last desperate effort.
And it works, as Akinfenwa heads home with the last touch of the game to grab a deserved point for the hosts
The players applaud the travelling fans at the end of the game
And the Crocs day out finally ends at around 2am in an Oxford KFC following a heavy night of sorrow drowning
