Pleasantly surprised

That smell around the station has been there from day 1, definitely worse some days than others, but has always been there.

I much prefer booing the away attendance, no matter how good the game is or how nice the away fans have been. Love a good boo.

I had always assumed, probably incorrectly, that there was a sewerage treatment plant at the Southern Water place. I had noticed the smell before when walking to the ground from the Hikers Rest and it was strongest when you come up the steps walking towards the station.

Guy I work with went from Glasgow to the game as well. He is a Boro fan and commented that it was 'the best stadium he had ever been to in the UK'. There you go, it's official!

I thoroughly enjoyed the game and thought it was a near 90 minutes of quality. We were second best in the possession stakes but created more chances than Boro. 18 points from the remaining 6 games should do it.

It's not a one-off problem! No-one is quite sure what causes the stink.

There are plans to fill in the corners, btw, and add an upper tier to the East Stand - most of the expansion will be completed for next season, providing the club gets planning permission.

I think we all know what causes the stink!

and as this is obiously a bit of love in, can I just say how pleasantly suprised i was with Boro. Always had the impresssion that Tony Mowbray was a bit of a " dour, back to basics" manager, but I could watch that team play like that all day. They were very good - especia;;y impressedwith the bloke who scored, and well done for getting the central white band back on your shirts - made me wonder whatever happened to Graeme Souness

I beg to differ. That smell has been there after nearly every home game. It's wafting up through the Foul-water Inspection Chambers, and is usually a sign that there is a blockage causing the effluent to back up in the pipes. I would offer to clear it, but I think the waste from 20,000 fans might be more than my sets of drain rods could handle. Better call in Dyno-Rod. ( N.B.- other drain clearing companies are available )

Strange... Boro game was the first time I've noticed it...

It is there pretty much every home game and was not a one off I'm afraid to say. It kicks up a bit more than usual somedays compared to others.

Ive never noticed it before but it did chuck up on saturday.Perhaps some palace fans were down for a look at a competetive team.

The bloke who scored was Liam Bridcutt... No matter what Marvin Emnes claims!
