Game watched: Middlesborough 2-1 Derby County

Middlesborough is a miserable place. The stadium isn't in a very nice area, walking near train lines and under dark flooded bridges. Hilarious attempt at atmosphere - home fans closest to the away end given horrendous little squares of red foil to wave around, and a big tifo erected using the stadium structure that nobody could see unless they were opposite. Agyemang scored within the first 2 mins, and then we were crap! Boro fans let in the concourse at half time so all scrapping. Left early because we were losing, freezing, wet and wanted to get away before the fighting started. Could just sense it would kick off at full time!
