Gene_Clark 12 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 21,882 14,633 15,033 15,188 14,749 23,550 --------- 19,039 15,400 15,697 15,075 14,250 16,853 16,157 14,364 14,825 16,972 15,431 The ------ broken line represents the change between Strachan and Mowbray. The sad fact for the Beast Boys is that exchanging their most vilified manager in living memory (we'll let Captain Lager off as they liked him for a while) for their most adored prodigal son has seen their average crowd drop from 17,501 to 15,824, with an overall season average of 16,416. I know the Smogs are off our radar now, as they lie in 18th place in D2, so we're unlikely to face them soon. The question is, do you miss them? Personally I hate our face painted, foam handed, replica shirted, nylon wigged pals from Allow Bernie Tree Legunds land, but it has nothing to do with geography & more that until Hamster Cheeks Gibbo turned up, 90% of Burragh residents were Liverpool fans. What are your thoughts? Any memories of close scrapes with the Frontline in early 80s to mid 90s welcome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia 0 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I don't really care about the Boro. The only antipathy I have towards them stems from the fact that every (I do mean every, I'm not exaggerating here) Boro fan I have met has been a complete moron. Christ, I find most Mackems quite affable when we're not on the subject of football but Smoggies are to a man fuckwits. The club don't actually bother me and I think Steve Gibson is a fantastic bloke who has been severely let down by the support but the people. Dear God, the people.

Marko 0 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I've lived in Boro a few times over my life and it's true what Ketsbaia says, every single one of them is a complete fuckwit. The only ones I can actually stand are the mates I grew up with from School or the mates I have from Boro when I lived there. Match days have got steadily worse down there as well, I think they resent the fact that we couldn't give a shit about them really and they show that anger by getting aggressive with you. Forget having a post match pint in Boro (should you want to). Wasn't there bother in boro station last time we played them after the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuckin disgusting places which should not have a football club. I agree with all the rest but Leeds and fucking disgusting in the same sentence does not compute for me. Course it has it's bad parts but the majority is great imho. Also they have a very good fan base still and last season in league one. They are just miles above as a club, city and fanbase than all the others mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1245 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Found it quite funny on Saturday when I was reading Wheater in the paper saying he was expecting loads of stick from us as he was a former Boro player. Like any of us give a fuck! I was actually talking to a smoggie at work the other day and he was telling me that they are still charging £30 for a standard adult ticket there. It's no wonder their attendances are falling if they're charging that. That's premiership pricing and they're just a small club simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I live amongst them. They resent us massively because we are so much more high profile than them. They also don't like that even though we are their no.1 hate figures we're really not all that bothered about them. As Marko said, going for a drink in Boro after a game would be asking for trouble, they were itching for it after the game there last season. As an aside, they've stopped 'Pig-Bag' now, probably because we ripped the piss out of it so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavey Davey 0 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) When they were at wembley with black and white painted-on tears I disliked them. Couldn't care less now. A couple more seasons in the championship and I might forget them completley. Edited March 2, 2011 by Wavey Davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
