MEETINGS
Meetings are held in Nottingham and around the Midlands. They are well attended and past guests have included many Boro figures, Chesterfield's legendary Boro striker John Hickton brought his scrapbook down to one meeting. Doncaster's Derek Downing showed there is life after sideboards. Dave Allan has high tailed it down the M1 and even I (Rob Shrug) have bored everyone to death in a Sheffield boozer. Sorry.
Derbyshire Reds have run their own football team Boro Fishbar XI and they are proud of their quite abysmal record. Mind you they actually recorded their first victory in the summer of 2000 with a 8-2 thrashing of The Electric Yetis of Leicester City. Contact for the Fishbar is Frank Horseley on (01949) 837229. The team commemorated Middlesbrough's League centenary by recreating our first ever League encounter with Lincoln. Dressed in the same kit of white dress shirts, baggy blue shorts, snake belts and false moustaches the Derbyshire Reds team, the Boro Fishbar XI fared no better than their predecessors losing 1-4. Middlesbrough 1899 version went down 0-3.
Derbyshire Reds organise travel to home and away matches , their famous yellow mini bus is often to be seen blazing up and down the M1. |
