I have always supported both. I know dozens who do the same. Half my family, for a start . Generations have lived and worked in all three towns=so they don't have a problem with it. Bet that ruins the new armistice between AV and I.

I prioritise Boro games over Cov ones and have done for almost the last 40 years. I go to The Oval, not because I'm a tightwad but because Boro's football over the last two seasons in general has been so enjoyable. I've had several Boro' Season tickets, (including this year), but I've never had a Cov one. The only time I stopped going to any football games was towards the end of the JG era when I'd just lost all interest in football full stop. I wasn't alone there, was I?

There is an additional reason I prefer Non League. I'm 76 next week. The whole matchday experience at The Oval is so much safer for me. Easier parking. Better transport links. Good all round vision. Nice people.

I've been to two games at the CBS this season. I have two more to come before the New Year. Both will see me in the posh seats because tbh the steps up to the ordinary CBS seats "up in the Gods" are just too bloody dangerous for me to climb now, with my dodgy knees. One slip and its curtains.

The Aylestone game is spooking me out a little after our mini slump. Definitely squeaky bum time. But I'll be there. With my Granddaughter. Boro games are the highlight of her week. And mine!
