Gilliver's Travels
Peripatetic
Amazing scenes in West Lower yesterday, where the tragi-comedy of Stockdale’s keepy-uppy cock-up was matched only by the wholly unexpected stampede from the concourse of several hundred of Albion’s finest the moment tap-in was gratefully completed.
Granted, a customer investment totalling two whole quid is unlikely to guarantee fanatical support and undying commitment to the cause. But one might have hoped for visible presence of a little more of that legendary Brighton Backbone.
Of course, there’s always the possibility of entirely plausible excuses for vacating the virtual skirmish so early. These might well include: –
1 It’s a great way of avoiding those horrendous queues for the trains, or park-and-rides.
2 Leaving early gives me 10 more precious minutes for walking the dog / clearing the shed / rogering the wife / rogering someone else’s wife.
3 Can’t beat the chance of a welcome stroll in Falmer village. Especially in torrential rain.
4 Any others? Your suggestions please…
