Yeah, Rioch was definitely Middlebrough manager when we beat them in the FA Cup in1989.


Always trust in Les on football facts!!! I would imagine you are a decent pub quizzer. And that isn't sarcasm!!!!!!

My biggest memory of that Boro game (apart from the game) was the bricks coming down from the stand to the right of the corner. And the windowless coach journey back

I was quizmaster at The Cricketers for about 15 years. That was before the days when internet mobile phones became popular though.

Yeah, we had to wait a while until the Old Bill cleared the Boro fans away. I was driving and we weren't parked too far away. This was obviously before the days of Sat Navs and we got behind another car with a Grimsby number plate so I thought I'd follow them. Unfortunately though they turned down a deadend and there were plenty locals still there looking at us rather menacingly. Never done a 3 point turn quicker in my life!

Seen the earlier thread, about the dearth of standing areas at grounds now, and I suddenly had a waive of nostalgia for the old terracing, epecially away from home - although the Pontoon was pretty special too before the seating went in.

Favourite away terraces from days of yore include

Brentford 1971-2, when we were on LTV, and there were probably a couple of thousand Town fans there. It was going off big style throughout the game as Brentford's mod was swelled with others from across London.

Memories. You can't beat them.


BillO - Was this the game when you drove the Town supporters coach through Brentford scum throwing bricks, smashing windows, showering people with glass blah blah?

Don't know what's so nostalgic - if it hadn't been for BillO, someone could have been seriously injured that day!

That might have been the following season when there was widespread unrest post match outside the ground. A friend and I had to get up to Ealing Broadway to get back to King's Cross and ended up dodging groups of locals wanting to damage us. Upon reaching the subway we had to cross a bridge, and we saw good numbers of Town fans battling to get down the other side. It was a very hairy day out that one, but London always was. Have found myself in the "different coloured" trousers type situation down there many a time.



No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Holt End is awesome. Was stood on it with Norwich in an fa cup semi final.the surge took me from half way up to near the bottom. Norwich ,wba, Peterborough and Ipshit had good away terraces back in the day. In recent times kidderminster has to be the best away day , covered terrace with awesome catering and by god could you make some noise there.  Aldershot wasnt bad either

Quoted from grimps
Wolves , Burnley and Birmingham would have been the biggest terraces I ever stood on watching Town .
The Holt end and Villa was the best I ever saw although obviously watching town there we never got the chance to stand on it .


League Cup QF replay - on the South Bank. Massive terrace, massive following, should have won - Micky Brolly two against Everton that got us there but missed a sitter that night, extra time one all - one on one with the keeper about 12 yards out and hit the bar...

Derby in 1981 - half of the side stand terrace that went below pitch level.

Millmoor - 1980 filled the away end and side stand.

Bryan Robson didn't go to Middlesbrough until 1994 after he left United. Bruce Rioch was Middlesbrough manager back then (1986-1990). And they were 13th at the time we beat them [url=https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-division-one/07-january-1989/]Click Here[/url].


It is also interesting that of the 24 clubs in the fourth division that season (88/89), 9 of them are now non league

My personal faves :

The stoke game as previously mentioned

Newcastle and the dobbin goal

Tranmere and the Chima goal

Rotherham when we beat them 4-1

Alfreton was always good

Qpr was pretty decent too
