MK Dons - Saturday 01/05/10

Following a remarkable turn around in form since the last Crocs on Tour outing, Gus Poyet had hauled the Albion into the upper reaches of the mid table area. This meant that the away games at Milton Keynes Dons was effectively pointless for both sides. Being the last away game of the season though, this didn't stop the Albion fans turning out in force at stadium:mk, and in true tradition for the last trip of the season, a plethora of inflatables and fancy dress was on offer. It was all set to be a top day out following on from the Robert Eaton Memorial Fund game the previous evening

 

Having stayed at Rumble's flat following the night out after the REMF game, McCarthy's request to borrow clothes end up with him wearing this ridiculous ensemble. It did not stop us ignoring Boris' no alcohol on the tube rule

Oaf was like a child at Christmas and could not wait to inflate his dolphin, so did so on the train

Polishing off a bottle of wine before 11am was best described as a mistake

Rumble's insistence that McCarthy would get stuck coming down the slide proved unfounded as he ended up taking him out at the bottom

Oaf gets in on the slide action

Kane, dressed as Bananaman, makes his way down the slide

Kenny and Rumble relax swing and slide combo at the bottom of the garden

Jude pours McCarthy a cup of tea from within the Wendy house

A game of "how many people can you cram into the Wendy house is soon begun"

Potter conquers his phobia of heights on the slide

McCarthy soon wedges himself on this rocking toy

A game of cricket involving a bin, a dolphin and a beach ball is soon begun

Valder, complete with Billy Bowden hat, did an excellent job as umpire

Kane decides to sleep accompanied by a variety of inflatables

Kelly had come to the game dressed as a Thunderbird

Potter was delighted to see somebody had come paying homage to the Crocs with their choice of inflatable

McCarthy helps inflate it

Alcoholic consumption begins to take its toll

We arrive at stadium:mk with it's interesting unbuilt outside

McCarthy inside the stadium

Potter pulls off the traditional Bruce

Rumble and McCarthy took the unusual steps of wearing AFC Wimbledon shirts to the home of Milton Keynes

The upper tier still remains unfinished

Unfortunately, the inflatable's were denied entry to the stadium

The Albion team prepare for action

Sexy Pete Brezovan would be hoping that this would not be his last away game owing to being out of contract come the end of this season

Kane decides to go for a wander

Sexy Pete waits for the ball to be returned by the crowd

The game was something of a bore

So much so that this chap manages to fall asleep

Bananaman inside the stadium

Approaching something of a respectable state, Kane and McCarthy decide to indulge in a white wine each at half time

The Albion and the Dons each had a man sent off on the half time whistle for a punch up

The Albion players salute the fans come the conclusion

Gustavo takes a leaf out of Slade's book by reproducing his trademark salute

The lack of street urination this season is made up for by Bananaman joining Potter for one

We soon find ourselves back at the pub with the canal, complete with inflatable rubber ring

Potter manages to throw this into the canal

Kane tries to replace it with the authentic one. Thankfully, it wouldn't open The Crocs on Tour flag is finally erected for the first time this season - after the final game
Oaf is soon trying to chuck people into the canal. Rumble is the first target McCarthy is soon on the floor, and despite losing his shoe to Rumble manages to avoid ending up in the drink
A canal boat excitedly comes past the lock McCarthy had rather foolishly left his pint in the way of the swing bridge, which subsequently sent it flying
Oaf begins his work by moving the swing bridge McCarthy applaudes this chap who has managed to throw his bike onto the boat
Oaf somehow manages to get himself onto the canal boat Jenkins is amazed to see this man walk his dogs over the lock, so much so that despite his drunken state he successfully replicated it
 
Kane's attempts to slide backwards down the banister end in tears as he failed to realise the danger that the straightening of the banister would offer
