"Come on Boro ....... Come on Boro ....... Come on Boro"


This is me (above) - The Boro Bard.

A small collection of poems - written by me just for a bit of fun - relating to THE BORO's matches. I hope you can enjoy at least some of them.

---------------------

I would like to state at the outset that I am not in any way connected with Middlesbrough Football Club or with any other commercial organization.

This site it totally unofficial, and any thoughts/views are entirely my own.

---------------------

I am a senior citizen, well into in my seventies, and I do not profess to know very much about the game of football.

For a number of reasons, I have not seen a live game of football for many, many years, but I do enjoy television coverage of many games throughout the season.

Over recent months I have been attempting to write poems on a variety of subjects - mainly football matches involving 'The Boro' - whose matches I always try to listen to on Century Radio with Alistair Brownlee and Bernie Slaven.

I would like to acknowledge and thank the various people whose sites I have visited in order to 'borrow' miscellaneous images which have assisted me in creating this little bit of fun.

Should any of you object, please contact me and I shall immediately remove the 'offending' content.

Alternatively, if you would like me to insert a Link to your site, that could be done at once.

---------------------

I learned my computer skills by attending courses at the Cleveland Trade Unionists & Unemployed Workers'Resource Centre, which can be found at 119-121, Marton Road, Middlesbrough.
Depite the title, this centre is not exclusively for the unemployed, nor do you have to be a member of a Trade Union, as you can see by visiting their site.
Studying at the C.T.U.U.W.R.C., where the computer facilities are excellent, is carried out in a very relaxed atmosphere and at your own pace. There is no pressure and age is no barrier.

If you like my little bit of fun, why not let me hear from you?
