Middlesbrough - A Jolly Place - Riverside Game
48 Answers
One of my pals and I went to Middlesbrough, in Scotland, for Brighton's last game of the season. It was really jolly. We went up on Friday night, had an Indian, and went drinking at a place called Valentino's. We had a scrummy breakfast at a café called The Mannequin, run by a lovely Polish lady. in. Fact, two Polish ladies. We decided they might be a lez couple, so it was just like being at home.
So, yeah, when the teams came out, the Boro fans in the (hang on, on our left, so ... South?) Stand threw paper in the air, and had red smoke things. That was fun.
They sang lots of songs that I couldn't quite make out, including a very jolly one to the tune of The Sting. It might've been something to do "Red Army From The Boro??"
We sang "Sea Sea Seasiders", and "Sussex By The Sea", and "We Are Brighton, From The South".
Boro have a chance in the Play Offs, so they sang "We're Going Up". We escaped relegation, so we sang "We're Staying Up". Then we sang "We're Staying Up With The Boro", ha ha.
We teased them about losing top spot in the Championship. We sang "You Topped The League And You ****d It Up". Best LOL chant of the day.
They teased us about everyone in Brighton being gay. We sang back "You're Too Ugly To Be Gay".
All very, very jolly. And just fab people in Middlesbrough. Really friendly. Just like when they came down to us. They had put posters in the loos with seagulls on them, saying Thank You For Travelling 316 Miles To The Riverside Stadium.
We drank lots of wine on the train(s) to help us on the basically six hour journey.
A totally jolly trip.
Oh, it was 0-0, but that made no difference to Boro, because Bournemouth won, so Boro couldn't get a top two spot, and no difference to us because we were not going to go down (as they say) (unlike the ladies in The Mannequin café, ha ha).
At the end of the game, the Seagulls team gave all their shirts to the kids in the stand who'd made the trip, which was nice.
What we didn't know was Middlesbrough has seagulls. I mean real ones, flying around near the stadium. Gay café owners, and real seagulls. It really was a home from home for us.
Anyway, Boro fans ... they are all very jolly, and we Seagulls love them.
(and I have, through all this, avoided spelling it "Middlesborough")

Obviously Brighton isnt in France, otherwise The Seagulls would be called Les Mouettes.
If the Beighton contingent at the Riverside Stadium had been chanting "Mouettes, Mouettes!" it would have sounded like we were a herd of very small cows.
However, whilst Brighton is not in France, one suspects that much of France (or at least, the French themselves) are in Brighton.
This is perhaps because the south coast might not have put up the best of resistances when the Normans invaded. In fact, to be honest, one feels that an early form of Gay Pride might have been taking place at the time. Far too busy dancing and partying to repel the invaders.
Actually, I think I blame the Kentish lot down the road. They put up a pretty poor show at Hastings (well, technically, at Battle). After that, it was downhill all the way, and a lot of French blood getting into Ye Olde Sussexe population.
Still, hey ho. Or D'Accord, as we say in Brighton.
