ChezGiven 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 1978?! What were you, 4 or something? There was a bloke who used to bring a bairn of about 5 or 6 to the match and sat near me. The kid just used to run up and down the stairs giggling and putting the flat bit of the seat down then letting it whack back up again. Most games his dad had to leave at half time cos the kid was pigsick of it. Your dad did well to keep you entertained at the match at that age! I was 6, he still takes the piss out of me for playing in the red sand round the edge of the pitch and not watching the match. We were in the old west stand next to the paddock.

Guest alex Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 New Year's Day '83 (I think) Keegan 2 - Carlisle 2. I remember a few things - looking on in awe at the Gallowgate, the mental atmosphere, the swearing (didn't realise adults did it so much - I'd only heard in the schoolyard up until then really) and Howard Gayle getting a welcome of monkey chants. Overall though, I loved it and was hooked on the Toon from then really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 264 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I was 5, it was Newcastle v Ipswich, we won 2-1 through two Mick Quinn goals. I can remember it because it was the unveiling of the Milburn Stand and Jackie's wife officially opened it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micktoon 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 March 3rd 1976 Stoke at home lost 1-0 I think it was a Micky Burns own goal. Sat on the wall at the front of the Gallowgate against the advertising hoardings. Remember a copper giving me a 10 pence piece that was lying on the gravel track and the bloody peanut bloke. Oh happy day!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 My first game was the Leicester 7-1 in the promotion season, was only about 7 like so can't remember much. Went to quite a few Boro games at Ayresome Park at that kind of time as tickets became extremely hard to get at SJP, my Dad took me on the condition we were going to watch a game of football, not to support Middlesbrough.

Canuck 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) Sat 05-Feb 2005 Charlton (h) 1-1 Dyer 52 Rommedahl 53 Travelled all the way from Winnipeg, Canada to see this one. Supporting the toon sice the mid 80's- finally saw a match. Sat in the East Stand and listened to some guy take Phillipe Albert's song and chant Laurent Robert's name all game in between chants of Souness out. Loved Dyer's goal and was gutted when Rommedahl scored before I sat back down. Rode back to London with the Charlton fans with my jacket zipped to my neck to cover my toon shirt.
