ON THIS DAY . . .

. . . in 1986 Boro were in financial trouble and had been locked out of their Ayresome Park home . . . these are the original gates to AP. Boro had to play their first Home game of the season Away at nearby home of Hartlepool United. We will forever be grateful . . . AND . . . after 990 match minutes, Boro finally scored at our end of the ground in a 1-1 draw with Millwall.
Another two strong penalty appeals turned down during the game by the referee . . . that makes 4 so far this season !
