Random childhood memories attending Boro games

I always remember there used to be scarf sellers along the underpass, leading to the Riverside.

This would have been back in the late 90's, when we were averaging 34k every game.

Can remember buying a Teletubbies and Simpsons Boro scarf :LOL:

I would always buy a badge off the badge sellers on the way to games at the Riverside
 
There was also a pin badge seller near the ground.
As a young kid at ayresome I use to take a large wooden rattle, which made quite a racket. At one game an older kid supporting Huddersfield ( I think) threated to punch me if I'd didn't stop! I didn't stop but he didn't carry out his threat.
 
I can't remember which match it was, but in the early or mid-80s we were playing so badly that a bunch of lads ran on the pitch and sat in the centre circle in protest.

Anybody else remember that? Would love to know which game it was.

I remember that happening during the 81/82 relegation season several times. Bobby Murdoch also picking up the scarf they dropped on the pitch. Loads of late 70s and early 80s Boro memories, but particularly all the lads running on the patch at the end of the game and the casuals in the East End seats.
 
My abiding memory of my early matches (1970s) is the smell. Bovril and ciggies ... and probably the smell of scalded flesh given the temperature of the hot drinks.

That and the Holgate taunting Rodney Marsh (QPR) about his lovely long hair.
 
randomly:

• lads in Butchers coats hanging around boot boy alley
• stomp stomp clap
• the sway in a packed holgate
• the lights going out v Leicester
• the smell of Tiger Balm as the teams ran out

all lovely memories

Opening the door in the Westminster and a cloud of smoke emerging and then going into the pub to fill that void.
