Hope you have a great evening and that the Boro can deliver the goods. I’m nervous as hell, barely done a lick of work yet. It’s a day purely for reminiscing about the mighty Boro tbh. Should’ve put a day’s holiday in.Close mate was married in Nottingham the day of the second leg of the Play Offs.
Probably saved me a hiding.
Still gutted we all missed it.
About to set off in an hour for this one.
I'll take a thump for the same outcome as back then.
Our neighbours up the road got the same treatment in 1985 when they knocked Chelsea out the Semi Final of the League Cup at Stamford Bridge

Kind of remember that too. I didn’t know he was a steward, but a big lad near us (blond mullet and tasche) climbed over and offered them a chat. Don’t remember the Chelsea fans getting too close, but they were hurling bricks into the pens. ChuntsBehind the goal aswell, remember some Boro stewards at the front ripping their steward jackets off, jumping climbing over the fence and squaring upto the Chelsea fans on the pitch.
I remember this too. There were a couple of their lads who had made it the length of the pitch and were in front of us and then this big Boro lad, curly mullet, looked a bit like a singer in a band, just started climbing the massive fence, managed to get over it and began taking on the Chelsea lads. Think he gave them a few boots before getting nicked.Kind of remember that too. I didn’t know he was a steward, but a big lad near us (blond mullet and tasche) climbed over and offered them a chat.
