Stadium
Rating:
Griffin Park is one of the remaining old school
football stadium with the added bonus of a pub
on each corner. A large covered seating area
stretches down one side of the pitch, with a
large terrace behind one goal that was
previously given to away fans but has now been
utilised by the home support following the
addition of a roof. The main stand covers the
remaining side, while away fans are now back in
the double decker stand behind the other goal,
with terracing at the bottom and seating above.
6/10 |

Food
Rating:
The hotdogs were not of the lubricated penis variety,
and this made a refreshing change, although
there were a little on the short side. 7/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
Nothing on offer. 0/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
After McCarthy and Witham mistakenly infiltrated
the home pub, we met several charming locals who
were extremely friendly. 8/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
There seemed to be a distinct lack of females in
and around the Griffin Park area. Luckily, this
was made up for by the ludicrous amount of
foreign students who were on trains in and out
of Brighton over the course of the day. 2/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
The stewards were unnoticed,
which denotes they did the job well. Except for
one at the end who can only be described as
totally losing it and having to be calmed down
by his fellow stewards. 7/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
The interim Crocs flag was due to make its
debut, but a lack of hanging positions denoted
it didn't. It did however receive an airing in
Tru on our return to Brighton, and gained some
strange looks. 4/10 |
 |
Match
Report:
Brighton added one more shot on target to make
it three in three games as they held Brentford
to a 0-0 draw at Griffin Park. Neither side's
keepers were tested, and the biggest talking
point of the game came as transfer-listed Glen
Murray stormed down the tunnel following the
final whistle, much to the disgust of the
thousand plus traveling fans. |

Thought
of the Day:
If somebody saw six legs in a toilet cubicle,
would they think it was an amputee octopus? |
