My photo diary from the Boro FA Cup match is now available to view here:

https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/2018/january/the-last-pic-middlesbrough/

Heard a few people knock Middlesbrough as an away day but I love it: there's a street full of micropubs for those who like their ale which makes for a perfect pre-match with the adjacent street brimful of foodie options too. They've got that magnificent Transporter Bridge near the Riverside to marvel at plus there was a stunning sunset over the ground during which time Our Glenn popped up with with a last minute winner. Friendly locals and Tony Bloom - who agreed to hold my FA Cup (see the last photo for details) on our train back. What's not to like?

Am I having a whoosh moment, or is pale grey what passes for a glorious sunset in Boro?

It's the cover shot on the main page. If I knew how to upload a photo on here - yes, I know, shameful - I could post it now.

What camera do you use? Is it small enough not to arouse the attentions of the stewards - or do you have an official pass?

I've recently acquired a Canon Powershot GX5 but yeah, I have a pass for away games to cover any attention from the stewards. Still get a ticket in with the fans though as you would do because in between the photos I like to get behind the team with a bit of vocal encouragement.
