Boro without a win this calander year, in fact, our last win was on the road away to Carlisle on boxing day & you had to go back even further for our last home win, right back to October 20th, a 2-1 win over Man City

Our previous home game against Oldham Athletic, on Tuesday night, seen another home loss in front of our then, lowest attendance of 3,477

The visit of Notts County seen the mighty Boro lose again, 1-0 to Notts County in front of our record lowest league attendance 3,364 at Ayresome Park, excluding war years

In the holgate for the Notts County game was our new chairman Alf Duffield

To the Boro fans who are old enough & we're there that day, depressing times
