Count me in, parents took me along at 10 months old.... I must have been naughty even then!!! Can remember games from 1960 onwards... The articles of association of the N50 are clear. It welcomes members irrespective of gender and indeed sexual orientation. The key criterion is being a miserable git, and especially expressing irritation at young people - simply for being young. Oh, and driving people totally nuts by wittering on about the olden days and how tough Eddy Clamp was, or how Alex Elder's time was blighted by an injury sustained just after he signed in 67(?). You're in!

1958 first game, no idea who it was against. Went with my dad, I didn't even like football "I didn't like football". You're automatically elected as our President.

Well I definitely qualify. My first match was October 1952. My memory was of a 3-0 defeat but I have just checked and it was a 3 -1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday. I hadnāt a clue what was going on and was confused as to why a team was called Wednesday when it was a Saturday !! I went with an older boy who lived next door, I was five years old. I think you possibly qualify as the N50 leader. Unless "the older boy" is still with us... However, can I just check - do you shout at bins and hedges? And when you watch a thriller/drama on telly (eg Vigil) do you say out loud, even if there's no-one else in the room, "I have literally no idea wtf is going on"? If so, you're probably our head honcho Well you have shown remarkable insight into my life, especially with last nightās episode of Vigil. Iām still wondering where a submarine fits in the desert !! Proud to be a member but I must warn you Iām not much use in a fight.

Have checked on the very complicated rules and assuming you were ribbed mercilessly while in the Navy, and provided you have a club crest tattoo (from a sleazy parlour in Pompey or Plymouth) then you're in.

Think my first game may have been Stan's testimonial, I remember very little about it other than sitting on the wall at the front of the Boothen paddock.

My first game was the start of the 62/63 season. My dad (who was a Boro fan at that time before I converted him to become a Stokie !) had taken me to watch as my school friends had already all been to watch Stoke. I've been on the rollercoaster ride ever since and suffered along with everybody else.
Count me in !

My first game was some time the sixties in the Stoke end I have no idea who against so I said to her there's no way your putt..............

I'm definitely in, first game 1955 at the Vic with Mum & Dad, lifted over the turnstile and had to sit on Dad's knee in Boothen Stand Block C. Flask at halftime always smelled funny, hot coffee with a generous portion of rum ! I was 5 years old then, 73 now and living in Portugal but me and her still have season tickets used by family but we get over when we can. Is this a new start up of N70, I'm in although not as good at faytin nowadees.
