    Complete long shot but I bought them as a gift for my mam and dad and they are unable to attend tonight due to illness, (I know Neil was in Boro last night but I’d purchased before that was announced).

    George Camsell - a musical tribute

    I was very privileged to be asked to write a song to add to the unveiling of George’s statue on Friday. I’m no Ivor Novello but the family were really moved by my efforts so I will perform it as part of the event. Terrified. As in the case of all of my songs - I don’t receive payment but if well...

    Not ITK and Not Saying It’d be my choice…

    … but with Newcastle splashing the cash is their Chris Wood a possible signing on one basis or another? Not overly prolific but a link up man? I can’t see him getting any game time up there now and obviously we are still in the market. I’d MUCH rather see Armstrong or Larsen but I just have this...

    Loans

    Genuine question - as I like everyone else speculates on the Squad from October. Is it still the case we can only have 5 loans? Which means - I think - we have Steffen, Forss, Giles, Mowatt - so one more? If that was the case I think it is likely we will BUY a centre back and a centre forward...

    SOS

    Admins / Posters. I just replied this to another post (The Samaritans one)… but wondered… whether it is worth having an ‘SOS’ core thread - like there are for other things on the message board. Almost a virtual ‘listeners’ bench you get in some towns. I‘m sure it wouldn’t be abused but It would...

    The Ali Brownlee Social Club

It's become a bit of a 'thing' which is really evolving but for now, if you are an ex pat, at a loose end, or just want to connect with a gang of Teessiders you can zoom in and take part orenjoy the ramblings...

The event, this Thursday to Sunday uses film, music, pods, radio, a new Vin's...

    Teesside Bands 1975 - today

    I'm doing a bit of research about bands and musicians from Teesside from 1975 - the current day. Ideally, I want to identify 'influential' bands that has a real 'vibe' about them... 'they could've made it but...'. I don't want the Chris Reas, Maximo Parks ones - more like, in my head bands like...

    Adam Armstrong

    I'd quite like to see him as a season long lone from the Geordies. Knows the area, the championship and scored 16 in 46 last season for Blackburn. Or is he pants?
