Two and a half quid for two of the best? Cheap at the price. Now if I only had the money for a trans-Atlantic airfare ....

Your right "okthen" - outskirts of Middlesborough UK ? - and don't forget it's the Wilson Family's Club - they'll be there also - 2¹/² Quid entrance fee ??? you can't get better value anywhere - especially as the atmosphere, standard of song ( and beer ) are brilliant .

It's not Middlesborough, is it? It's Middlesbrough. Good line-up though.

To be more precise, Wolviston is North of Stockton, in Co. Durham. Middlesborough (however spelt) is south of the Tees in Yorkshire. That's how I remember it, anyway. Maybe I should go look at a map....

Hello Herga Kitty and Santa
Middlesbrough is correct .
Many moons ago +/- 100 Years when the were receiveing the Towns Charter or whatever the process was , the Town Clerk actually misspelt the Towns intended name - the intention was, it should be the same as all the other English towns as a Borough - Scarborough , Peterborough,Guisborough etc.so we're stuck with it !!!!
Imagine dropping a bollock of such magnitude and still keeping your job !!!

Although Middlesbrough Football Club (I was going to put FC but that could really cause confusion), without the 'o' are nicknamed the Boro, with an 'o'.

Clear as anything eh!
