The last time Sheffield Wednesday played at Brighton on an Easter Monday – three years ago – we were relegated. A win for us this time would repay the compliment. Needless to say, beer flavoured pre-match anaesthetic was much needed. Amazingly, we won. And we're not relegated. Hurrah! Yes, I might just have ended up back in the pub afterwards. Rude not to.
Thanks to a crook of an ex-chairman, who sold their old ground for development without actually sorting out a replacement ground, they play at the Withdean athletics stadium. It's a very nice athletics stadium. And a very rubbish football stadium. The away fans are now housed at the opposite end of the stadium from where we were on our last visit, as they've put yet another temporary stand up, behind the hammer circle. This raises the capacity to a staggeringly huge 8,000. And gives the away fans a pretty shockingly distant view of the match.
Temporary stands mean temporary toilets, and I wasn't disappointed. The ladies' is the third door from the left.
It looked like there were three cubicles...
But no. The one on the left had a rather attractive trough in it. Yep, it was a gents' loo in disguise as a ladies. And the queues for the two remaining actual loos was rather long.
The cubicles were OK, I suppose, and at least there was loo roll.
Score: 3/10. Not enough cubicles. Though I guess the sight of the trough was educational.
