Robin Johnson 616 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 A new book to be launched soon. Written by a Mr A Vickers probably be a load of rubbish!! Seriously, I would imagine it is a well constructed, thoughtful publication that is a must for all Boro fans. Perhaps Changing Times could offer a review when available??!! Best of luck with it, AV, I will save from my pension to afford it!! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Old Codger 3,063 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 we'll know if its own work if every other word begins with "R" or "P" 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
RiseAgainst 3,793 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Should be a good read. I started supporting the Boro in 1997, so it'll be interesting to learn how the first year at the CRS went - teething troubles, acclimatising from Ayresome Park, etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,343 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 You should all definitely buy it, and tell your friends and family to buy it as well. It doesn't really matter if they are Boro fans or not, just get everyone you know to buy a copy. In fact, tell strangers that you meet to buy it as well so that they don't miss out! 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites

The closest I'll ever get to Ayresome Park is wandering around the Barratt estate that took its place. As a child, I was a Bradford City fan...right up to the day I stood in my front garden and watched Valley Parade burn down in the distance. That (and hooliganism on the terraces) completely put me off football for over a decade, and if the Riverside hadn't been all-seater, I might not have gone along in 1997 when my mates suggested catching a game during a holiday in the north east. As a middle-aged nostalgic, I wish I'd seen AP, yet I probably wouldn't have dared to go in my youth. Even today, I'm a bit anxious about exits and suchlike. Link to post Share on other sites
