I use to get invited in there after some Boro matchesAt Ayresome Park - anyone remember - hospitality in old main stand.
Have I got that name right?
Correct, the 100 Club it was. I was lucky enough as a 17 year old to go along with my cousin in the 74/75 season, my uncle was quite often busy with on match day so I had the use of his ticket. I did feel a little out of place in my duffle coat and red and white scarf surrounded by business people and their partners, but I enjoyed the food at half time. PS I still wear the same scarf to this day,At Ayresome Park - anyone remember - hospitality in old main stand.

I used to go in there a lot too. Used to love the hot pork pies at half time from the buffet.... sticky because the jelly had melted. Delicious!Used to go in regularly. Was only small and always rammed
That match was the one and only time in my whole Boro career that I got to touch the match ball and throw it back!I went in there once with my Dad years ago he some how got tickets from ICI when we played Norwich in the old first division. We won 1 - 0 Souness scored I think , anyways we went top of the league as all the other team matches we postponed because they had international players for mid week games, we had no international players at the time. I remember a load of fans in the holgate would not go home until the players came back out to acknowledge them, heady days. Also remember getting free tea and sandwiches at half time and my dad could get a pint after the game!
I remember going in there with my old man when we played our friendly with the Chinese national team.
I was under instructions to fill my Parker with as many sausage rolls as humanly possible.
junos, was that the game we were winning 2-0 only to lose the game 3-2, with their 3rd scored at the holgate endThe only time I ever got invited in there was through a mates dad from ICI for Dean Glovers return with Port Vale. It came across as a very weird cross between a working men's club and a posh box at the horses. I was on a downer due to match score though even if Deano gave us a chance by missing 1 pen
Yes, all three of their goals at Holgate in 2nd half after we were 2-0 up early in 2nd halfjunos, was that the game we were winning 2-0 only to lose the game 3-2, with their 3rd scored at the holgate end
Yep remember that game well, didn't realise Deano missed a penalty mindYes, all three of their goals at Holgate in 2nd half after we were 2-0 up early in 2nd half
Why didn't Pears just stay still for his 2nd (or was he worried about damaging a finger from the power)Yep remember that game well, didn't realise Deano missed a penalty mind
Season ticket holder in the South terrace back then, the only goal I remember, if my memory serves me is their 5th, when the PV player walked it around Pears, I'll watch it now junos, let's see if its how I've described
