Best and worst matches
Views: 242
Bit of festive nostalgia - what are the three best, and three worst Boro games you've attended? Can be performance, atmosphere, personal reasons. Off the top of the dome:
Best
1) 2-1 vs. Villa, FA Cup 2023
2) 3-1 vs. Newcastle, FA Cup 2011
2) 3-0 vs. Orient, League 1 2023
Worst
1) 1-5 vs. Crewe, League 2 2019
2) 0-3 vs. Orient, League 2 2020
3) 0-4 vs. Gas, League 2 2022

Best:
Kiddy (A), better than my wedding day for the raw emotion. It'll never get better than that afternoon for me.
Newcastle (H) win. The noise on the East was incredible.
Spurs (A) taking that early lead was special. (Kinda what Villa must've felt like but I missed that one)
Worst:
Throwing away a solid playoff lead at Cambridge.
Losing at Bury on a very cold week night when Robbo almost cried because we were so fucking poor and he knew we were going down that season.
Losing 7-1(?) At Kenilworth Rd

Ugh that Colchester shout reminded me of Boxing Day 2013, same scoreline, going on my tod because my Dad couldn't be arsed, freezing cold, trying to drive through a flood under the railway bridge at Bragbury End on the way back and getting an instant flat tyre. Miserable, miserable stuff.

Worst was that bloody play off defeat at Stoke. Christ, that place was windy and cold in the middle of May

Was just going to write the same - Carlisle playoffs. So disappointing, in such a grim place.
In the spirit of the original question, loads of great memories. If anything trumps Villa it'd be pretty good :-) Best has to be Villa, still gives me goosebumps! Can't believe it happened, really! And quite the opposite of losing at Stoke, winning at *Villa Park*, with so many Boro there. Awesome day out.
And I don't always remember games for the performance, more for the end: noise, spirit and togetherness. Always remember visiting somewhere new and interesting. Bonus points for stumbling on a great boozer :-)

Best league
Kidderminster away
Rochdale away
Sheffield Wednesday home
Best cup
Villa away
Newcastle home 98
Newcastle home the other one
I don't remember bad performances, but losing 3-2 to Macclesfield when 2 nil up in the 90s top of the table battle was a shitter.

Rochdale would've been in my list if:
1) We had appointed Robbo permanently to take us the final step up to the Championship before getting poached by England
2) I hadn't been sat in the away end with my uni mate, a lifelong Dale fan who was very gracious

I remembered some crap games.
Losing to Sheffield United in the playoffs and Robbie sitting on the advertising hoarding on his own
Losing to Cambridge in the playoffs after being 3-1 up after the first leg.
Honourable mentioned for winning the first final at new Wembley after being 2 nil down, but since it was Wembley it was mostly shit atmosphere
