No chance! You Reds! Come on Forest!😜

Hi RiversideRed. I'll take it if it's still available. I'll be travelling up from Nottingham for the Swansea match so could you meet you outside the ground on Saturday. Let me know.

Found a good parking spot at the bottom of Stanley Matthews Way which missed all the post-match traffic and I was back home in Nottingham just after quarter past six!

Best Wishes for a speedy recovery Mogga.

This thread has really cheered me up! Not! Oh well, at least it's only £9 return from Nottingham and a short train ride. Setting off soon and UTB anyway!

I remember that one. Last home game of the season? Willie Maddren's debut...as a striker and he scored I think. And someone called Alf Arrowsmith (there's a name from a football story in a 1960s comic!) scored the winner with a header at the Holgate End. Mind you, he had played for Liverpool...

21st September 1963, Boro 2 Leyton Orient 0. 1'6d (7.5p in new money! ) to go in the Boys End at Ayresome Park. Ian Gibson scored both ...but I had to look it up as I'd have been a very advanced 9 year old with 20:20 vision if I'd seen and remembered that!

Nah! Wembley bound are Forest! 😜 You Reds! Went tonight and Bristol City looked very useful. Good of Forest to try to tire them out for us though. 😉

There’s been a few times in 60 years of watching that it’s been tempting to leave early …..but you don’t do it, do you? Worth staying till the end tonight, even if a few around me had cleared off, just to see the goal and be part of that fantastic away support at the end. Boro team and Carrick...

Amwythig is apparently Welsh for Shrewsbury. Weird that. Don’t ask me how. I used Google translate. But as I can’t get the English commentary on red button for some reason, I can start learning Welsh! 😁

We're not all dead yet y'know! ;)

60 years ago today, in the Boys End at Ayresome Park, I saw my first Boro match. Two goals from Ian Gibson and we won! A wide eyed, optimistic 9 year old, I knew glory and success was only a matter of time for my home town team. Didn't quite turn out like that! 11 years before I saw us in the...

Thanks for this thread. Can’t stop laughing 😂- some of the comments are brilliant!

Good assessment roofie! I was particularly impressed with Hannah. A young Boro team doing well against a Forest side starting with experience in Toffolo, Niakhate, Mighten and Biancone.

Random baddy chasing Gal Gadot in this Netflix movie…….but he can’t be beyond redemption as he’s a Boro fan!😂

Thanks for highlighting this, roofie! Us exiles love our adopted home city and our thoughts and prayers are with those affected.

Spurs beating Burnley 3-1 in 1962. Danny Blanchflower and all. The Burnley keeper dived the wrong way for a penalty which I found very funny. And I asked my Dad. “Have the Boro ever won the FA Cup?” We all know the answer to that one ………and 61 years later………! Oh well! UTB!

I was at the match with Hodgy in the Man Utd shirt-Man City at Maine Road in January 1981. From memory, the Boro showed up with the Datsun Cleveland-sponsored shirts as the match wasn't down for TV (highlights only those days, no live League games!). Sponsored shirts weren't allowed on TV. But...

I did! And as they’re my local team, I’m not really neutral! Couldn’t get a ticket today but at least I’ll get to watch some live Premier League football next year- when it doesn’t clash with the Boro of course! You Reds/UTB!😜

Forest fans sang "Have you ever seen a Geordie lift a cup" when they played the Skunks at the City Ground in March. I think we can claim that one (and I didn't start them singing it, before anyone asks!)
