Last night, I had a very strange dream about Boro away - which I have no intention of going to unless it’s a crucial game or first/last game of the season. Anyhow, I realised I spend far too much time on this board, because I’m now dreaming dreams that sound like Morgantwin’s posts:
Me and one of my mates got the train to Boro, where we were staying in a huge rental apartment in the town centre where all the rooms were kitted out like my Nan’s front room. We had a cup of tea and then had an argument about how to get to the ground, and I decided to go on my bike with an un-inflated inflatable double-mattress folded-up and tucked under my arm. Anyhow, I’d forgotten to take my bike lock, so I was trying to hide my bike up a tree, when a lad I used to work with (who is actually a Southend fan — I haven’t seen him in about ten years) said I could stick in on the back seat of his Mum’s car as long as I took the wheels off. So I did that, and then walked with him to a fun fair near the ground where he introduced me to his girlfriend, who started flirting with me almost immediately — awkward. Anyhow, I was walking round to the away end, when I came across two members of their “Red Faction” ultras, who were stood a foot away from each other shouting “Boro” at each other through megaphones. Getting close to the ground, there was a bloke in his fifties stood around in a Tottenham shirt from the mid-70’s (Admiral job), and a copper on the top deck of a bus shouting out of the back window, “Yid army! Yid army!” At this point, I realised I didn’t have my ticket — it had fallen out of my back bin — so I asked for the ticket office, which is housed in a community centre. I explained I’d lost my ticket, but the fella behind the bar said he couldn’t help me, but could offer me a free Heineken t-shirt. I declined the offer and decided to go and get my bike and go back to the flat to look for the ticket, but the woman who owns the car had gone out for the day — in the car! During all of this, I’ve still got the inflatable mattress tucked under my arm. What a fu cking palaver.
Is this my subconscious telling me not to return to Boro even if I think I want to?

Welcome to the Championship. |
If all the away days in Division 2 are as weird and stressful as that, I think I'm going to really miss the tedium of the PL. | |

That wasnt a dream. It was a result of you indulging in some good ole peyote by the sounds of it. |  | | |

From what I can gather, far worse things happen on Teesside.
It's interesting about losing your ticket - this is the kind of recurring dream I have, for example going skiing and realising I have no skis, poles or money for a lift pass. It's probably a result of working too many hours and wanting to be in control of everything.
Last time we were in a play-off final in 2003, we were going to a Wedding in Pembrokeshire the same weekend, so I was travelling with my wife and her sister. We got to Swindon when I realised I had left the ticket at home. I'd love to say everyone saw the funny side in the end...
... but they didn't. And we lost, too. |  |

I’d had a bottle of wine and a couple of beers, but as far as I know, no peyote. Strangely, that’s the most I can remember of an away day since I was about seventeen. | |

Ouch. My Dad took me and my brothers to Villa v Tottenham when I was about eight (one of my brothers is Tottenham) and got right up to the turnstiles before realising he’d left his wallet at home. Great day out — drive to Brum, get out the car, walk to VP, excitement building as we prepare to go into one of England’s finest grounds for the first time, discover wallet missing, walk back to car, drive home in silence. Top trumps. | |

Having a ticket in advance for Boro is when you should have realised it was a dream. They claim attendances around 15,000 but it looks the emptiest stadium of all on telly. |  | | |

You’re forgetting this was a ticket for the away section — which as the bloke in the ticket office explained — was absolutely banged-out. Midweek — Boro — sold out. Say what you want about Fulham, but that’s impressive. | |

Off topic, but Boro have managed to keep their empty seats a rich dark red, while Sunderland's are horribly bleached. Are Sunderland just cheapskates who've bought shoddy goods, or does the Teesside smog blot out all sunlight? | | | |

The seats at the SoL were painted using poster paints. | |

I think the whitening of the seats at Sunderland happened during Di Canio's tenure.
Impressive dream recollection, by the way. Seems like relegation has caused you considerable sub-conscious trauma. This will ease by September when you realise that Fulham may be capable of winning the occasional game, perhaps even away from home. |  |
