Miss the old place, but the late 70s to late 80s the hooliganism could be awful at times and I gave some games a miss..it’s hard to tell fans today that you would literally see rival gangs attacking each other in the stands while the game was being played and the police trying to stop it.
Boro had some absolute maniacs following them in the 80s and that stopped me from going to away games, there was always a huge police present at Boro away games and the home hooligans thought you were fair game.
The Holgate in full voice was something else.
