What was your first ever Boro game?

A night cup game against Millwall in 66 or 67 in the chicken run. 0-0 but I was hooked by the lights and determined that next time would be in the Holgate. Think we lost the replay as well. Nothing changes.
 
Aug 10th 1968 v PNE won 2-1 Hickton scored both goals.
1st season ticket North Stand Lower east wing juvenile.

Johnny Crossan Dickie Rooks and Arthur Horsefield played also.

I went to a couple the season before hand but cant remember much about them.I
51 seasons ago...dear me
 
Almost 30 years ago. Boro 2 Newcastle 0, Rumbelows Cup September 1990. New-signing Robbie Mustoe bagged a rare brace.
 
I don't know how anyone can remember their first game. Everything from around that time all merges in to a big blur.
 
Valentines Day 1988, almost 32 years ago now. Boro 2 - 1 Villa. Mogga with a diving header to complete the comeback. Not many days after beat it to be fair :D

 
28th Sept 1988.

Middlesbrough 0-0 Tranmere (Who at the time were in the old division 4) in the league cup. 12000 at Ayresome Park and it was a cold midweek game. Pretty bad as first games go.
 
There was a couple of seasons in the mid to late 80's whan buying a ST the 1st game of the league Cup you were given a free ticket
I think this was the last cup match at AP that you got in free with your ST
 
My 1st home game was back end of 1971, not to sure who we played, my 1st FAC game was 18th January 1972 v Man City at AP winning 1-0, my 1st League cup game v John Neals Wrexham, on the 5th September 1972, we won 2-0
My 1st away game 11th November 1972 v Preston, winning 1-0 John Hickton scoring our goal
 
Have been thinking about it and I think it was the 6-0 home win against Chester City in the 1996/1997 FA Cup (I only really started watching football properly after Euro 96, what a tournament!!). I sat in the North Stand behind the goal(ish) - My defining memory of this game is Emerson absolutely smashing a ball at the goal in warm up, and it missed, flew into the crowd and smashed some girl right in the face, sending her into the seat behind her.

o_Oo_Oo_Oo_O:LOL:
 
24th August 1963 - Boro v Plymouth 5-0
This is the first game I can recall attending on my own (went in The Boys End and jumped over the wall to meet up with my dad!)
I'd been to previous games but would accompany my dad
