38 years ago tonight as we climbed in to our beds

[erimus74]

We still weren't sure if we would have a football club to follow

But a rebirth of the club & a truly remarkable couple of seasons were to follow

[Ayton Mews]

I'm guessing you were around 12 years old at the time Erimus? What a time to really start supporting the Boro!

Haha, I'd been married one week leading up to this game v Port Vale, fortunately we couldn't afford a honeymoon or I would have missed the most important game in our history

Still remember the news that night as the suits had the chain and lock put on the gates.

Oh dear, I bet you haven't mentioned it much over the last 38 years, im surprised she hasn't moved her birthday one day forward or back.

I did tell her I would never forget her birthday due to the Boro, nearly had cold teas for a month

I was guessing the 74 was when you were born, but I assume it's your wedding date now!

No Ayton, born in 1960. 74 is reference to my favourite season supporting the mighty Boro (1974)

[Blott]

I was and am Boro daft. But a lot of the turmoil went way above my head. It never occurred to me it would ever go bust.


I was on holiday for the Port Vake game so the season went on its merry way.


Then Robson and McLaren times, heaven on earth for me.

[erimus74]

Fingers & toes crossed, if I'm here to make our ruby wedding, 40 years, a week later the mighty Boro will be doing likewise, double celebration

Why 1974?
Surely there's been a few better since then, the beginning of the Robbo era were fantastic times for the club, and oh for those bloody 3 points, where would we be now?

[Blott]

6 years to 50yrs for me.

6 years to 50yrs for me.

Since your first game.
Since you were born.
Since you were married.

You tell him, Hound. He's clearly wrong with his own personal preference of a favourite season.

Jesus, whoever is doing the nc500 with you must have the patience of mother Theresa.

I'm with erimus.
20 yrs in the wilderness.
Stan was so close to getting us up and we enjoyed some good cup matches.
But then in comes Big Jack and we blow the opposition - and the 2nd Division - apart. We even took Carlisle up with us for a laugh.
The big boys in the 1st Division were watching us with terror, knowing what was coming their way the following season. Apart from Man Utd who were too busy getting relegated. Deliberately, to avoid us. Probably.

Cheers JT,
I'm sure that's Erimus reason too, I wasn't a Boro fan then so didn't know, and not read much of Boro history pre 86,
Makes sense now though. 👍🏻

[Blott]

We can argue about the best times, my first game was about 1966.

For me it has to be McLaren
