Finding old Boro fans you used to sit next to

“Now then mate” has served me just fine with the bloke sat next to me for the last 15 years 😅


Maybe the old “what time do to call this?” if he turns up a minute late and I’m feeling HILARIOUS

😂 Exactly the same ........"Oo what did you make of midweek" for an away game.

Etc etc - nothing more nothing less!

I embarrassingly forgot the name of the guy who sits next to me.. we've been sat together for years!
turns out.. same name as me.

I’ll post the initials - ZH

I mean, nobody is going to take this seriously now anyway are they. But there was also a bloke next to use who went with son and grandsons, we sat next to him for over a decade. He was in his late 80s when we gave up our season tickets. I always wonder if he managed to see us play in Eindhoven.

I'm impressed you knew his name, I've been sat next to a guy for about 10 years now and we get on well but I have no idea what his name is

I was telling @bumface about when I lived in the same building as this bloke in Swansea. I always shouted 'Hello Phil' when I saw him ,but he never replied - when he did look accross his face indicated he thought I was talking to someone else
 
In the spirit of this thread, does anyone know anyone called Wayne with ginger hair who posts on here? Or know him from elsewhere. We used to be mates at Ayresome Park and get the opposition players’ autographs together but I never saw him after we moved to the Riverside.
 
At Ayresome Park I used to sit quite near the guy with the very squeaky voice and his brother. Was very funny but he always had a streaming snotty nose and a shortage of tissues. When we moved to the Riverside I thought I wouldn't see or hear from him again until a few minutes into the Chelsea match when his unique squeak could be heard two blocks away.

At the Riverside our group sat next to a guy who always wore a big fedora, turned up well after kick off, moaned for 60 minutes, then left with 15 minutes to go usually announcing "I've had enough of this rubbish". I never wonder where he is, but I do wonder where he got his hat.
 
Think we'll be sitting by ourselves in the SW upper next season, based on the response to the early bird.
Still, no ques at the kiosk, always an upside.
👍

One of the brothers with the squeaky voice got banned for fighting if I remember correctly !
 
As a kid, I always remember Big Si in the North Stand when the Riverside first opened. Used to shout "give it to John Hickton" everytime we started to attack. Great bunch of lads that eventually just dispersed over the years. I remember getting a single one-off ticket in the same block in 2007-08 and I didn't recognise anyone.

I remember him at AP. He used to shout to the ref "who's the bas#@#d in the black" at the top of his squeaky voice. Used to have me and my mate in stitches. We used to call him Harry Helium.
 
Don't mean to darken the tone of the thread but I can always remember a game vs Arsenal, think it was during the 00/01 season, and two lads had a fight right in the row in front of me. I was sat in the North stand upper at the time.

One was an oldish fella with grey hair and was definitely a Boro fan and the other lad was younger, not sure if he was an Arsenal fan sat in the home end.

It happened during half-time and just seemed to come out of nowhere. The younger fella had come up to where the older fella was sitting and they were arguing. The older fella took a bit of a pasting, I was only a kid so it shook me up a bit.

Not sure why it's always stayed with me but I've always been interested to know what caused the fight, what it was all about.
