Favourite Photo of Ayresome Park

When I was a kid I had a Guiness Book of Records with a picture similar to this one in.


But I'm thinking the writing must've been bigger ?

Different beast at night. Used to love night matches and middle of winter games when the floodlights came on.

A special place.

Was that against Leeds?
A pitch invasion cleared in record time by a police dog.

Friday night if I recall. Lost 3-2. The whole game is on YouTube not that anybody wants to relive it all again.

Our season tickets were the South Stand above the Chicken Run and the huge white rectangular Longines clock situated on the North Stand opposite always made me feel that I was "home". That clock was replaced by the Newcastle Brewery clock but did not give the same feeling.

Not sure. Maybe Gary Hamiltons testimonial game

We had South Stand season tickets for seven years, 1988-1995. Only me left now, and so it’s always an odd feeling picking out our old seats. I expect Ayresome Park is, for many, about memories of people they knew; as much as about the football. UTB

That's me front row 4th from the left, next to my mum (R.I.P) This was either Wolves or Brighton, at the end of the 1990/91 season, the one we got in the playoffs with Colin Todd, as those were my first two games before i graduated to behind the goal in the holgate with my dad the next season.

I will be watching that again, not just for Ayresome Park, Big Jack and Boro, but also to remind me of what winters used to be like.
First thing Christmas Day six minutes of indulgence with a nice cup of tea and a Bucks Fizz and smiles all around………..Happy Days!!

I remember when David Hodgson was injured and we had a big cup game and he got up onto one of the stantions in the Holgate singing his head off.

I swear there was a pic but can't find it anywhere?

I'm the little fella right down the front whose face is slightly blocked by the fencing. It's where I used to stand for most games back then. Me Dad (R.I.P.), who used to take me, is probably just out of shot to the left of the picture.
