Well done to BHAFC from a Boro fan

[Boro BN1]

Hi everyone,

I've always had a soft spot for Brighton after living here from 1983 to 1987 and now I'm back living here again.

I love the town and the people and I'm beginning to really like the football club. If fact they are my 2nd favourite team now after moving back here after 20 years in Paris.

I saw the Boro at least twice at the Goldstone, once travelling down from the North East and once whilst I lived here. I particularly remember one midweek night game in the middle of a freezing winter and it was tanking down and we were in the open away end. The announcer said over the tannoy "Would the Middlesbrough fans like to make their way over to the main stand seats and get out of the rain". Brilliant! We were like drowned rats.

I'll always remember applauding a couple of Football Specials full of Brighton supporters as they passed through Darlo station on their way to Sid James' Park to knock the jawdees out of the FA Cup as we were on the way to an away match. You had 1000s there that day.

Ex Brighton lad Lennie (Robin) Lawrence is also fondly remembered on Teesside for his time as manager under very difficult circumstances before the Bryan Robson era.

I've been to see the Boro 3 times at the Amex and its brilliant the way the club and fans make the visiting fans welcome. So much so that my 80 year old dad who came down from the NE has adopted Brighton as his 2nd team and my kids who travelled over from Paris with me were blown away with the day.

I can't wait for tomorrow as its the first chance in 30 years that I can see my club play in the adopted town where I live.

No matter what the result, win, lose or draw I hope to see you all at the after-match party and hope you all have a great festive period. Enjoy the game.

Up the Boro and Up the Albion. I hope we both go up

Get yourself a half season ticket and watch your second team on the way to promotion.
Now is the time to join the good guys!

Nice post. Since we've been at the Amex I've found the Boro fans to be a great bunch of lads (and lasses!). Mind you it's probably helped that you've never lost here yet. The journey back home on the train has been a riot over the last few seasons, with muchos vino and beer being drunk and friendly banter exchanged. Long may it continue (but not the last four years of results)!

Enjoy the game and hope we exchange places this time tomorrow!

Cos he's back living here now innit.

The French is apt. His last three visits have been from Paris... tomorrow will be the first time that watching Boro at The Amex has been a "home" game.

 

[Eeyore]

I hope this chap has a splendid day, although this does not include the result !

 

[ofco8]

Makes a change to read such a nice thread/post from an away fan.

Are you listening at the top of the A23?

 

[Ernest]

Hope we SMASH you tomorrow

Nice post, but do hope you are crying into your beer at the party after a Christmas STUFFING ........that said, would love it if Boro and BHA go up (and specifically not Derby). I'm dreaming that we are joint top, both 4 points clear of Derby before the last game of the season and we have a celebratory promotion game to decide the division.

No, no, no. We want to go into the last game with both us and Boro 3 points clear of Derby; Derby having a better goal difference than either of us. We then want Derby to win 3-0, with Boro to be leading 1-0 after 6 minutes of extra time (when the fourth official had indicated 2), when Bobby steps up and equalises at which point the ref turns to the camera, winks and blows up for Full Time. With a live stream to Pride Park with them all on the pitch.

I'd bloody love that.

Now you're getting silly

 

[Easy 10]

We never seem to beat Boro. And its on telly. Those two reasons combined mean that the absolute best we'll get tomorrow will be a draw, I am completely ruling out a win. I'd take a draw now were it offered.

There I said it.

 

[MattBackHome]

I'm sensing lots of Boro love this year.

Must be football results / xmas build-up / StarWars making everyone feel gooey.

Join us come over from the Dark side

Get yourself a half n half scarf and I'll see you at the party[emoji106] [emoji481]

'It's the stuff of dreams'!

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

Great post, Boro BN1; as I've said on here before, you're a proper Club with proper fans whose vocal support is impressive and never abusive towards Albion fans. Have a great day but not all three points!

 

[Wellesley]

No, no, no. We want to go into the last game with both us and Boro 3 points clear of Derby; Derby having a better goal difference than either of us.

I'd bloody love that.

Or maybe we could just play out a 0-0 draw to ensure we both get promoted. Not that anyone would really do something as disgusting as that. Oh when the saints.....
