Broomfield On The Lash!!

Several of the Broomfield massive hit the streets of Esher on Friday to celebrate Nicko Coode's 40th birthday by drinking vast quantities and irritating bouncers and passing women in equal measures. Along with Nicko were El Supremo, Bozzer, H, Nigel Gardner, Rob Matthews, Jim Reynolds and JFK (aka Richard Brown) together with bitter Southborough rivals Jon Pryce, Andrew Gardner and Dicky Condon. Occasional Woodentop Simon Macara was also in attendance plus Nicko's friends the Rt Hon. Charlie Green-Smythe and Mr David Roof.

After spending the day at Sandown Park races, where Nicko was whipped by some busty young lovelies selling raffle tickets, the group moved on to The Wheatsheaf in the futile hope of witnessing Nigel Gardner actually buy a round of drinks. Next stop was The Albert Arms, but for some reason, the bouncers decided that 20 tired and emotional middle-aged gentlemen were not suitable for their establishment and entry was refused.

The party reconvened over the road at The Bear where all seemed to be going smoothly until a group headed by Rambo was asked to leave after the bouncers maliciously suggested that there had been some untoward activity occurring in the gentlemen's toilets. Fortunately, displaying a deftness of foot rarely seen on the football pitch, several of the party managed to sneak back into the Albert. Nicko, Rambo, Bozzer, El Supremo and Richard Brown then went on to enjoy several more gallons of alcohol before Nicko was sadly ejected on account of him being unable to speak or stand up. 

The final stragglers (Boz and the Boss) were last seen enjoying a lock-in at a nearby hostelry.
