Away matches with Boro where you have gone in the home areas.

Manchester City in the cup at the etihad when we won 2-0. Got thrown down a few seats at the end by a miffed City fan.

Manchester United in the cup under Wilder. We managed to keep quiet when Crooks scored as we were convinced it would be ruled out. We were left alone to watch the celebrations after the penalties.

Newcastle in the posh seats quite a few times, last time when they beat us 3-1 after we had taken the lead, but we both ended up being relegated come the end of the season.
 
Liverpool Man U Sunderland
But the first one was at Derby 1969 with my Dad. We went in early about 2 o'clock, afew Derby fans got talking to us saying you're in the wrong end. So my Dad spoke to a steward explaining our problem. He said no bother and asked us to climb over the wall. He then proceeded to take us to the away end by WALKING ACROSS THE BASEBALL GROUND from goalpost to goalpost!
By the time I got to the Boro end I was 6 inches taller.
