Micky

Mr Adams was in standard issue training kit, completed
nicely with white trainers. |

A cold yet clear day in Swindon. |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
A large main stand was faced with a newer two
tiered effort. One end behind the goal was left
unoccupied, and was made up of a large unseated
stand, while the opposite end was a cauldron of
noise, consisting of a small stand with a low
roof. 6/10 |
 |
Food
Rating:
The ludicrous queuing system prevented any food
from being purchased |
 |
Entertainment:
The large dancing Robin of last year was again
on show, and he had not lost the moves over the
course of 2008. 7/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
Some relatively normal locals were encountered
within the public houses visited, but the general
consensus was that most were of a pikey nature.
5/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
Swindon appeared to live up to its reputation
of being a place that attracts slags, but unfortunately
the ones we encountered were of a disappointing
nature. 5/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
Allowed fans to stand, and
one steward even asked if he could use McCarthy's
hat. 8/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
We were unable to gauge the attention of the flag
as it is currently in Nottingham. Somewhere. |
 |
Match
Report:
The Albion climbed out of the drop zone thanks
to a 2-0 victory away at relegation rivals Swindon.
Captain Nicky Forster grabbed the goals, the second
coming from the penalty spot, as Brighton came
up against a team that were somehow worse than
themselves to give the traveling support a first
league win since October, and a first victory
on the road since August. |

Thought
of the Day:
The chant of "we're shit and we're beating
you" |
