Nops gone

It is very sad indeed. Very much end of an era.

On Saturday I will heading out to see the Boro Shirt Museum free exhibition of Boro Robson era shirts at Base Camp.
Open from 12 noon. Food and drink avaliable.

"The theme of the next exhibition is The Robson Years, covering the end of Ayresome, our move to the Riverside, the big signings, the cup finals, his last season as manager and everything in between. We’d love to see you there! 12:00 onwards with free entry."
 
What's happening to the Nops site?
Muslim Community Center. Bagged meself a picture off the wall, above board and all that. Spoke to the Steward last home game, totally gutted, sold without prior knowledge. TBF he said they were finding it hard to survive, cannot live on alternate Saturdays and the odd gig. There was whip round and a standing ovation for the staff.
 
Cheers NR1 - Quite a change in use, but shows how that area of Middlesbrough has changed in the last 40 years. Muslim families are probably in the majority in that district and are generally decent people from what I can see, but obviously would not use a working men's club very often.
 
Looking at what is on offer in the nearby drinking establishments to the Nops. Dr Browns, away pub. Smoggies, Pig Iron or Central. May give the Isaac Newton a try.

I was at the bar when the standing ovation occurred and thought it was my mates taking the pish because I'd got the round in!
 
Pig Iron is always busy before and after a match. Has been my go to last couple of seasons. Bit lively after after full time mind with but never seen any bother.

Smoggies, Pig Iron and Central will probably take a lot of the Nops drinkers. Unless they change the away pub from Dr Browns to the Navi. Not worth thinking of.
TAXI for 1 please.
