Yarm is decent, used to be a cracking club there - Tall Trees

MacMillans. An old mate, Alex Lowes, the fella responsible for the legendary Southport Soul Weekenders, used to DJ there on a Sunday night back in the day. Very posh.

I went to Ayresome for the 3-2 win, Deano and Dalian in 92. It was pretty moody outside and they'd kept us back for 15-20 mins. Then went to the Riverside in 95, 2-0 win under Little and 2 great goals that day. So great memories of Boro for me. I think we'll do them again in the cup too.

I've only spent a few days up there for work about 15 years ago and it seemed a moody place, the town centre was just like a bigger Erdington.

it's gone down hill since then.

No I’ve been I think 6 times and seen us win twice, the Deano and Dalian 3-2 at Ayresome Park and the 1-0 Snodgrass in 17/18.

We were the only Villa fans in a city centre pub in Middlesbrough before the play off semi. It was fine. The locals were happy to talk football.

We went there when Dean Smith had not long been appointed (brilliant 3 nil). There was this ginger Biffa Bacon trying to provoke a fight in the pub while everyone just got on with drinking and chatting or playing pool. The bouncers eventually had enough and turfed him out and his parting shot was:
"Yous all a bunch of fuckin' fannies anyways!"

Me too, I remember checking as I went down to the tube and we had just gone 0-1 up, by the time I was back and able to get reception we were 0-4 up.

I saw us win 4-0, 3-1 and 3-0 there in successive seasons. Got to know a few Boro fans as well who were all sound. Happy to go back if I get the chance.

That was New Year's Day 1996 in a 2-0 win.

Wright's goal when we scored 5 was at Spurs in 2000.
