Boro supporters on the open-top bus route: Linthorpe Road

Pictures: Were you there for Boro's open-top bus return in March 2004? Were you in the Linthorpe Road area? You may be able to see yourself here






Tens of thousands of Boro fans lined Middlesbrough's streets on 7 March 2004 as the triumphant Carling Cup-winning side returned with an open-top but through the town.


After starting at the site of the club's old home at Ayresome Park, the convoy made its way down Ayresome Street, Linthorpe Road, and Borough Road.


It ended up at the Riverside Stadium, where thousands more fans greeted the players and staff.


The Gazette had three photographers working the route that day - taking hundreds and hundreds of pictures of the players and supporters along the way.


We have divided our pictures of the fans up into four sections - the second installment (published today) were taken in Linthorpe Road.
