On a Friday night versus Bristol City

I cant remember it being a friday but i remember being there (never missed a game in those days) the ground was empty that match! By the time we started hammering everyone it was bouncing!
My favourite memories at Roker
First game v Bolton mid 70's to get promoted.
V west Ham after theyd won the cup to get promoted.
The 1st time i saw the mighty Leeds, Bremner Giles et al, I know everyone hated them but as a kid they were superstars of their day.
When we beat Everton in the cup on a snowy midweek night.
1st Derby game seeing half the Roker fill up and being scared of how many Mags there were! (I was only a kid :oops:) cant remember the score?
Armstrongs header!
Theres more but thats enough to be going on with :)
 
Forgot about that. What a Night !:lol:

I took a Boro fan with me to that match. A die hard Smoggie.
He said he'd seen nowt like it.
We were well pished up before the game so we let it all out.
When that corner was taken, we were in the back row of the Clock Stand Seats.
When it hit the back of the net, we ended up about 20 rows in front, in fact only the barrier saved us from ending up in the paddock !
Happy Days !


Oh and another I'd forgot, Rotherham away Division 3, Batman taking a penner for us !
Gerrin ! :lol:

Roker Park was being sold off bit by bit and people were going down to buy their old seat bits of the pitch etc. A lad with a Mag top on rocked up and was there no more than thirty seconds before someone ran over and banjoed him in the middle of the pitch. Was canny funny and bit shocking at the same time. ANyone else see that? Rumour was the kid had was a delivery driver who had a job to take something to Roker Park from his mates who dared him to wear a mag top. Love to know who it was that wedged him and then kicked his arse all the way out of the ground. Was an emotional time like.

This happened right next to me. Had his glasses knocked off. Remember thinking when I first saw him "what the hell is a Mag doing here?" I'm sure he reckoned he used to go to Sid James' one week and Roker the next
 
When Gary bennet cut in between 2 man u defenders and drilled the ball into the corner and it felt like straight into my chest at the same time. Only time I ever stood in the roker end... Probably should of tried it a few more time as was amazing
 
Just a young pup at 20 mate. Was sick of all the negativity starting to creep on the board about ticket prices etc. Heard you old lot (had to, sorry) love nostalgia so there was one thing for it... But, nostalgia is nostalgia, regardless of age ;)

First game was when we beat Huddersfield 2 - 0 at RP, cant remember the year. Or the match for that matter.

wrong again :oops:
you were on my shoulders and we won 3-2 bridges scored 2 late goals after coming on as sub :lol:

Andy Cole nicked it in the last minute of the FA cup at roker for man utd and Phil Gray megged Schmichel for our goal.

Carlos Edwards tried to run off what turned out to be a broken leg.

We improved massively once Halford got himself sent off for us.

One of our fans came dressed in a mankini at Boro away. We came back to draw 2-2 despite being shite.
