When I first started going to HR in I think 1975 away fans were housed in the left hand side (as you looked at it) of the west end, seemed to be trouble at the same flashpoints every week. Few years later away supporters were moved to the opposite end of the ground onto the small side of the...

Think there’s a few missing off there , remember a game about 15ish years ago v Sheffield Utd that I’m sure was 27K +

what a ridiculous situation for the club to find itself in, the only real excuse I guess, is that we haven’t been a club that has had to deal with large crowds on a regular basis in the stadiums lifespan. We’ve got a 6000 capacity away section that can easily cater for any amount up to and...

But the club decide how many are allowed in the stadium, so if the police limit away supporters theoretically it free’s up even more seats for us.

As far as I’m aware the club are wholly responsible for who or how many they allow into their stadium, the police and the SAG hold no real power over such matters.

You don’t think we will need anything at Middlesbrough ?

The trip/tangle of legs ‘whatever way you see it’ was blatant and right under the refs nose 🤔 it really baffles me because it’s such an easy penalty to give, he’s never gonna be chastised for giving it. Why did he not give it. And then he had the perfect opportunity to make good on his obvious...

Not really got much interest in this story and even less knowledge of British bankruptcy law, but I’d bet my last pound note, his bankruptcy would look a lot different to mine ‘should I ever go down that route.

I made a late decision not to travel up for the game, brother nephew & kids not so lucky.

He’s just ahead of his time, showing us all how to celebrate a goal after the introduction of VAR

Another one from 15th August 2000. Again pre-match but this time outside the Greyhound, Sutton Stop.

My god the Spion Kop was in a sorry state at that point.

Pre game refreshments in the Sky Blue Tavern/ Mercer’s Arms. 15th August 2000, First game of the season v Middlesbrough lost 3 v 1 and went on to be relegated. Me on the far-right 🤔 even tho I’m a known loony-leftie.

In all honesty, how well a pub keeps and serves its draught Guinness (along with cask ale ) is a very good barometer of that pubs quality.

Jesus wept, if they can sell Carling at £2.50 a pint and still show a profit, they really shouldn’t need anyones help or deserve anyones pity….. 🤔 they should apply ‘forthwith’ for membership to the “magic circle” 🤔 even Paul Daniels would struggle to explain this one to me ‘He’d like to. Not a...

Funny you should say that, early 90s myself, brother and wives traveled up for a match. Parked up and left the girls in the city centre, walked to Highfield Rd and back again afterwards, somewhere near the swanswell we went in a small pub on a corner. Ordered our drinks and stood at the bar...

Every week on MOTD we watch the likes of Leeds v Man Utd, West Ham v Chelsea, Everton v Liverpool etc etc in completely sold out stadiums with a line of steward’s separating rival fans. It’s easy for the club at present to follow the advice and leave entire blocks empty, mainly because there...

Ultimately It would be the club’s decision to make, SAG is an advisory group with no real authority.

I actually found that quite heartwarming.
