Boro 'coffee break' question

[Erimus74]

Approx how many loaned players do you think we've had in our history?

 

[atypical_boro]

I’ll take a wild stab at 200.

 

[El Guapo]

About 70-75 ish...? I don’t think loan system started til about 1982ish did it?

edit, apparantly formal league loans rules started in 1966 (although they existed during the war years and via dubious / sketchy system during the early days of football)

 

[Nobby_Barnes]

I'd go with 40

I clicked on this half asleep thinking it was something about a coffee break being introduced in the middle of the game

It might not be a bad idea, I mean they have water breaks in summer, so why not a tea/coffee break in winter

I remember years ago doing a coffee break crossword so thought that sounds a good line, the problem is I'm giving the answer out at 2 in the morning & you have to wait up to see who the winner is

Loans have only appeared in recent years so I'll say not many, perhaps 25

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

56.5

 

[Maccarone]

45

 

[McBrid]

144

Stephen Pears was our 1st loaned player

Strachan era alone we had plenty of duffers ...

It’s way more than 25 man.

 

[Erimus74]

It’s way more than 25 man.

More than 25 but less than the 1st answer of 200

 

[McBrid]

was I close with my 144 guess?

 

[Erimus74]

was I close with my 144 guess?

Erm, no

 

[McBrid]

Erm, no

I think maybe between 80 and a 100 then. Most of them within in the last decade more than likely

Right, that's you out for 10 minutes, you've asked too many questions
