The one report of this game I have seen - the set of all football match reports seems to me to be a labyrinth more terrifying infinite than any I have encountered before, due to the innumerable linguistic and interpretative variations produced daily throughout the world - could be summarised as such: the reporter, attending a match between his team (Brighton and Hove Albion) and his friend's team (Leyton Orient) in a minor English domestic cup competition, had a fairly unsuccessful time due to the lack of coherence amongst the away support and, of course, the result. This outcome - a one goal defeat for Brighton from a goal from a Romanian, Patulea, who had already struck the goal's structure - he suspects somewhat flatters the victors. We need not note his obvious bias in making this judgement.
1,457 attended, he notes at the end, whimsically drawing attention to the 555 of those supporting Brighton.
