Quoted from Poojah


I had the misfortune of living in Middlesbrough for three years in my late teens / early twenties. The spot where Ayresome Park was is now a small housing estate, with street names attempting to honour what went before but clearly the lazy work of a housing developer’s marketing team (“The Turnstile”, “The Midfield”, rather than anything unique to the club).

The surrounding area is rough as fúck though, much of what I remember is now razed to the ground, and I’ve often wondered what it must have been like as an away day. I can only imagine it was edgy.


I was at that game and it was certainly edgy, for want of a better phrase !!

Didn’t we knock Villa out on away goals after two draws? I think the 3-1 might have been against Coventry, and we got knocked out anyway as Kevin Drinkell did us in the 2nd leg.


Oops your right itvwas Coventry we beat 3 1, but yeah they recovered on the 2nd Leg so not quite the same

Very. I remember a police line had to be formed after that result to protect the coaches we were on!

Thought the police did a great job that day (as far as I remember it was a female police officer in charge and she wasn’t taking any prisoners from their fans). Was interesting having to break off the group to get back to my car.

With regards the gap in places a Cod Almighty article put the gap at 76 places.

This was also a ground we went to on Friday night a few years earlier and beat them 5 - 0 so happy memories

Quoted from Les Brechin


Middlesborough must be very close in 88/89, IIRC they were 10th in the top flight and we were 4th bottom of the 4th Division at the time we played them.

That win would have got far more national coverage had then non-league Sutton, not beaten then top-flight Coventry City.


I was going to say the same , Boro was actually in the top 5 at one point when we drew them .
Also Coventry at home the next season we beat 3-1 but they beat us 3-0 in the replay

A replay isn’t needed if you’ve won 3-1…..

It was the League Cup, a two legged affair. Sorry for being pedantic!

Never got the coverage from the media that that Middlesbrough result deserved..one of my best away days ever watching Town that one.


Apart from being pelted with coins by the 'Boro fans!

Boro ended up getting relegated that season in the end though didn't they? That might well happen to Southampton too. Can't see that being the case with Brighton!
