Brightons 'Internet Seagulls' meet Mark McGhee - Going Straight Up!!

Last updated : 21 March 2004 By Bob Gear

The Web Supporters were met by Trevor Watson who works in the Commercial Dept. He gave us a framed signed Blue and White Shirt and an unframed signed Yellow shirt. He also gave a bag with 4 or 5 of Steve Coppell's old tops in.

After that they were led around the pitch to the tunnel area and told that Mark McGhee would join them shortly for photos with the framed shirt. He appeared after about 15 minutes, we were led onto the pitch for photos. As we walked onto the pitch I commented that another performance like Tuesday would be welcome and he replied that we needed to do better than that.

The photos were taken and McGhee started backing away, a few questions encouraged him to stay a couple of minutes longer.

A summary of the questions and answers is:

Q: any more players arriving?

A: we have one more loan left

Q: will that be used to bring Trevor Benjamin back, as per speculation?

A: that would provide cover up front which would be useful

Q: would he be available for the Play Off Final?

A: No, it would be a month only

Q: We will make the Play Off Final won't we?

A: Nah, that will be Bristol City and QPR.

An excellent quote from the Manger who clearly has his sights set on automatic promotion. I wonder if he's aiming for the championship, or just promotion?
