30 years today since I first set foot in Ayresome Park....

It must be 54 years for me.

I can't remember who we played but do remember going to the St Peter's club on old Middlesbrough Road before the game, getting midget pies from Bannister's and then on to the game on the trolley bus. The colour of the pitch and that distinct smell had me hooked.
 
39 for me. Only remember who we played because a bloke behind kept shouting “dirty Barnsley, dirty dirty Barnsley” over and over.
my Dad told me to ignore him. Was quite bored.
 
Can anyone tell me (without googling) what was my first match? Based on OP.

It is either 49 or 50 for me, can’t be certain. Carlisle were the opposition though.
As for the game Atypical I will guess West Ham but in reality could be loads of teams, whoever the opposition, it will have been a seminal moment (y)
