As for us still being Bitter about the Boro games a few years back.... we were never bitter with Boro, just the hash job Mr Dean made of it.

I did until that day. Many innocent fans including families of the non-hooligan variety, were threatened and abused (post Boro win).

Could you imagine our fans doing that outside the Amex and in town, against say Derby or Boro families if we'd pipped them on the last day of the season? I can't.

Agreed - the walk back to our car, left by Jurys in the town centre, was pretty horrible. That we were a family including a 14-y-o girl and a 6-y-o boy didn't prevent blokes getting right in my face with snarling homophobic abuse.

Why, on what was a great day for their football club, they couldn't just get on with celebrating I do not know.

And after hearing the tales of Boro gracelessness experienced by Albion club staff that day, I really have no time for a club that I should really be completely indifferent towards.

I quite like Boro as a club-certainly prefer them to their North East neighbours Newcastle and Sunderland. Had a soft spot for them since their run to the UEFA Cup final in the early noughties.

Were you there?

Boro fans AND STAFF were absolutely graceless ***** that day, and many (including within our club) took it extremely badly.

Their fans ignored celebrating their promotion, to goad the Albion fans.

Our players were assaulted on the pitch as they tried to make their way off.

Families of Albion fans were abused as they made their way back to their cars.

Then Albert Adomah followed the Albion team coach out of the town, sounding his horn.

Absolute twats.

Hope we destroy them*






*we won't field a side to do so though - not with a Prem match T Southampton 3 or 4 days later.
