Brilliant, wish I'd had seen it.That’s a good point. Reminds me of going away to Bristol Rovers when they played at Bath. Lost 1-2 and Rippers got sent off, I think. On the way out we were separated from the home fans by a chicken wire fence. Some little Boro ne’er do well was roundly abusing a huge Rovers skinhead. Without warning the fence stopped. It took a couple of seconds for the idiot to comprehend what had happened… One of the funniest things I ever seen at a match.
I spent the whole game at Bristol City in the so called away end, surrounded by a mob of Bristol on a Friday night game circa 1979.
I was the only Boro fan of punchable age and had a side parting shaved in to my skinhead haircut and they were patting me on the head saying in their west country twang "oooh-arrrr, tennissy ball head"
I was bricking it all the way through but didn't get a dig. In fact they shook my hand at the end.
I've had a lot of time for Brizzel City ever since.
