Pictures: Were you there for Boro's open-top bus return in March 2004? You may be able to see yourself in these pics






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 final installment (published today) were general shots from along the route.
