West Ham v Boro big match nov 1974

Just watched the big match revisited from Nov 74 on ITV hub or x as it is now called. Was a rare bad day at that time I assume was only 3 so don’t remember it. Looked a shambles. Anyone there?

I was there and we were brought back down to earth that day as it was the first time we were well beaten after taking the jump up to the 1st division in our stride previously.
 
I was there. I don't remember there being many from Boro but could be wrong. I went down on a Christmas shopping special from Nottingham. I remember the fare was £1.50 return and the train was routed via Grantham and Hertford which was exciting at the time and, as it turned out, the best bit of the day.

I was there - went with my Dad (I was 13) and we were dreadful - I also remember the rain in London that day - Brooking was a cut above
 
They show this game about 6 times a year. To be fair it is a terrible game to watch as we get thumped.
 
I went in a converted ambulance with some nutters from Stockton. me and my mate got a "squeeze" at the turnstiles and were stood at the side, facing the cameras. no segregation as far as I remember, just kept quiet, although there wasn't much to shout about.
