BSAD: Throughout all of this, the two-hundred odd travelling support – whom the Middlesbrough tannoy had admirably attempted to individually namecheck before the game – were making a racket worthy enough to be mentioned by Radio 5’s half-time summary. All too much for the Boro stewards, apparently, who moved swiftly to crush the insubordination of a bunch of lads daring to stand up at the very back of the stand. That this provoked more widespread defiance was hardly surprising. The whole incident illustrated that however wide your experience, there’s always scope to be surprised by creatively cack-handed stewarding.
