Middlesbrough at Burnden

Right somebody help me out here

 

I need the year

 

Thousands of boro turned up, they got promoted and Pallister played for them

 

They had all the seats in the away end plus some seats next to the Paddock, the seats they had were wooden and they made noise all the way though the match by stamping their feet and banging the seats... went something like this do do ahh do do ahh

 

Sounded like zulus but it went off big time outside Churchills and there were absolutely loads of them

 

What year was it?

Probably the best site on the World Wide Web EVER!

Great site this, I didn't know websites like this existed.

Franny Lee scored in a 6-0 win against Middlesbro :D

These stat men that seem to know every date and goal time etc. do they cheat by using websites like this to make the rest of us that try and remember matches look like numpties :-k

The year'll do mathameticians

I remember that atmosphere. Very unique. Rioch and Todd were at the helm for Boro that day. Presume Bernie Slaven was playing for them.

Using the Nigel Shepphard site - going with 11.04/87. We lost 1-0.

Not at all.... it's a simple statistical question

 

However, I thought it was 86

We didn't play them in 1986 at Burnden if that helps.

Well as we only played them at Burnden whilst Rioch was manager in 1987, then simple logical deduction gives us a solution of 1987.

 

QED.

Resolved, I was wrong,,,,,, Ta Ang

87 it was, they were singing:

 

Tigana, Tigana, Middlesbrough, Middlesbrough

 

Then lobbing chairs in to the paddock, one whizzed past me and hit my mate on the head :D

 

Think they won on the way to promotion.

Boro won 1-0 at Burnden in April 87.

 

Asa hartford missed a penalty which would have put us in front and they scored a last minute winner.

 

I was unimpressed with the numbers Boro brought....1,500 max i would say for a team at the top in April was not that good.

 

The gate that day was 5,858..we got 5,300 vs Wigan the Tuesday night before.

 

Was supposed to have been an incident at the Sweet Green against Boro that day.

Remember it very well. Boro brought the best mob i ever saw at Burnden. Fun and games all day. ;pp

Thugs [-X

 

69k against Man City at home....... we'd struggle to get 30k nowadays.

Some of us still frequent said establishment before jumping on the Choo Choo to the Reebok. Funny thing is we had a good chat with a couple of Boro fans in there last season. Oh how things have changed.
