Why do you support the Boro?

Not from Boro, but a mate started to go to the Boro games when he started working down there. Me and my brother tagged along to Ayresome one day and immediately hooked. 30+ years later still hooked.

Hard to describe why you follow a team which causes you so much pain and frustration. But it's just something there, in your blood. Always stays with you. Plastics wouldn't understand.

All our kids are Boro fans, sharing the lifetime of disappointments.........😁

HM, apologies if you have answered this. How come you follow the Boro?
 
I don't think anyone really chooses a team.
You are given a team by location, family, or circumstances.
For me it was family. We are from the boro.
 
I went to Darlington was I was young as my mam didn't fancy me going to Boro. It all changed at secondary school. We would play a game in the morning and head to Ayresome Park on the 37 from Stockton and get off at the Blind School. 87-88 was my first season. They are my club and I wouldn't have it any other way.
 
My Dad and Grandad had no interest in football, so it wasn't a family thing. I have asked myself why on many an occasion, although sometimes it's been more like, why, why, why? I've never been able to come up with a definitive answer but I have never and will never regret it. Started in the Boys end and this season is my first with a discounted pensioner season card.
 
Because all of my family and everybody I know does. Because I was taken to my first game in about 84 and I fell in love with them and because I fell in love with Riochs boro boys and I couldnt support a club that I'm not connected to. As in if they weren't local to me. Glory supporter I suppose as I come from billingham 😂 and I like both clubs. My nephew is the current club captain of synners but I watched boro first and I fell in love with them

I don't really know. My dad used to take me and my brother to games when we were kids and I guess that was where it started for me. My brother was a Liverpool fan back then..He had loads of Liverpool posters on the wall in his half of the room that we shared and I had a Boro scarf on the wall above my bed.
