Space Invaders in the old cafe on Middlesbrough railway station. Would have been the very early 80s.

Chase HQ - a police racing game where you had limited time to catch up with a stolen car and then ram it several times to force it to stop, before going onto the next level and doing it all again. You drove a black Porsche 928 and the target cars were things like a Lamborghini Countach or Lotus...

I'm going for the ship in Zenon 2 - Megablast on the Amiga, with full-on Super Nashwan Power in effect!

Not forgetting that Camilla is now six months pregnant with twins....🤣

It's from the slightly Leeds sounding 'Marching On Together' video, which was released by Yorkshire Television halfway through the 91/92 promotion season. It used to be my favourite Boro video as it includes plenty of footage showing what match day was like from a supporter's perspective in the...

Ah cheers, that makes sense. It shows that you can't read too much into a brief highlights package.

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but having watched the highlights of yesterday's match I wondered why Greenwood's reaction was so muted after the first goal? Engel came straight over to him but he didn't look at all happy. Having said that the team's reaction to taking the lead...

Given that we contrived to lose in a typical Boro manner against the same team just a couple of weeks ago, I'm worryingly confident we won't do the same thing again 😬

I remember Jimmy Phillips saying of Boro fans 'Away from home they're very vociferous' in an interview on the Marching On Together video - think it's the first time I'd ever heard the word vociferous and based on that I assumed he must have been a bright type 🙂

Wasn't 390 the local sport page on Ceefax?

Yep, the club would announce that, say, Voucher G was needed to buy a ticket for a certain game, and you'd hand it over. I remember them insisting that you tore it out of the season ticket book at the counter!

Love the bloke pitchside, just to the left of the goalpost - leaning back with hands over his face 😃

Wasn't the most memorable game. I can recall Parky had a couple of long range efforts on target that Schmeichel clawed away, and I'm sure Mark Hughes or Neil Webb put the ball over the bar from a couple of yards out at the East End.

Was visible to the south from Gateshead too this morning. Don't think I've ever seen anything like it before.

With our ever growing injury list a few of the crowd might be in with a shout of a call up to the squad...

Just got back from two hours in Saltwell Park sledging with the kids. As a responsible parent I had the first go down the hill in the interests of checking it was safe 😃

Anyone else remember Forshaws the tobacconist shop that was at one of the entrances to the Cleveland Centre facing out onto Albert Rd?

Cheers. Games Store does ring a bell but I can't picture it

Don't recognise this shop - where was it? I remember Chips being upstairs above a shop on Linthorpe Rd in the late 80s. My Grandma worked in a bridal wear shop on the corner of Linthorpe Rd and King Edward's Rd and Chips was opposite, so I used to go in to see her and then pop over the road to...
