Capital Connect train line which ensured that 4
for 2 tickets could be purchased |
 |

Painter; Kishishev; Bridcutt, Dicker; Bennett;
Murray, Barnes |
 |
Kit:

black shorts and socks |
 |
Gus
Poyet's Attire:
Gustavo was in his normal attire of suited and
booted, minus tie, despite the increasingly cold
weather |
 |
Weather:
Despite warnings of heavy rain, it was a dry if
not slightly crisp day |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
The last two remaining proper terraces are at
London Road, and they are set to be gone come
the end of this season. They roll back the years
to the glory days of the 1970's with crowd
surges and tobacco smoke. Seeing as this is the
last time we will stand on them, we've decided
to say sod the rest of the ground and award a
Crocs first 10/10. Goodbye Peterborough terraces
- you'll never be forgotten |
 |
Food
Rating:
One food outlet was a far from ideal scenario
with thousands packed onto the terrace, and as
such none was consumed |
 |
Entertainment:
Gary Johnson wanted this to be a big day at
London Road with plenty of blue and white.
Unfortunately, a couple of wank flags in the
corner and a load of balloons being released did
not quantify this suggestion. 2/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
The Peterborough fans we met on the way back to
the station were all decent folk, and no
problems were encountered throughout the day.
8/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
A fair few decent women were seen in and around
the town centre, although the pubs we visited
were devoid of them. 5/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
A good steward is one that
is not noticed, and if truth be known none were
noticed at Peterborough. The heavy police
presence around the game though did seem a
little over the top, including the British
Transport Police we had accompany us home, but
that can't detract from the fact that a good job
was done by all. 8/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
A drunken day on a packed terrace was designated
as not the best day to take the flag to |
 |
Match
Report:
The Albion defeated third placed Peterborough
3-0 on their own patch in a game in which Posh
goalkeeper Joe Lewis was the undoubted
man-of-the-match. Ashley Barnes and Inigo
Calderon gave the Seagulls a 2-0 lead in a first
half that also saw Elliott Bennett miss a
penalty, before Barnes added his second from the
spot to send Brighton eight points clear at the
top of League One |
 |
Thought
of the Day:
The best way to counter an unbearably hot sauce
is to drink milk, so if you rub that hot sauce
in your eye by accident, is pouring milk into it
the best way to cool it? McCarthy believed the
answer was a yes owing to the fact that he had
carried out this very technique back in July |
