Good job some weren't around in the 82/3 season when we had a run of ten games before a win:I think some people need to grow a pair. It's a good job some of you weren't around in 1986, there would be a queue of "Boro" fans at the bottom of the Transporter ready to dive into the Tees.
We took one of the best sides in this division to within a decent point. A lucky deflection for their first, and an unlucky own goal for their third.
We're following the Boro, it goes like this at times.

Won 1-0 v Bolton [16th October 82].
It was heartbreaking.
There were more ghosts in the Stadium than there were seats.
I remember standing against the same crash barrier in the Holgate, where only two years earlier you could barely move, and all you could hear was the echo of absent voices.
