Preserving the Legacy - Ayresome Park Auction Unveils a Glimpse into Football History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Colin Robertson, we are transported back to the 23rd of April 1996, where history is about to go under the hammer at Ayresome Park. The iconic football stadium in Middlesbrough stands as a testament to an era filled with unforgettable moments and passionate supporters. Auction manager Brian Hardy from Henry Butcher can be seen meticulously placing lot numbers on rows of seats along the terraces on the 15th of April, just days before this historic event. As these numbered seats symbolize memories etched into each one's fabric, they hold immense value for fans who have witnessed countless victories and defeats within these hallowed grounds. Ayresome Park itself was designed by renowned architect Archibald Leitch and had become synonymous with Middlesbrough FC throughout its existence. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even though stadiums may come and go, their legacy lives on through cherished mementos like these seat numbers. The upcoming auction not only offers an opportunity for avid collectors to own a piece of footballing heritage but also acts as a celebration of community spirit and unwavering support. It is through such auctions that we can ensure our collective memory remains intact, allowing future generations to appreciate the rich tapestry woven by those who came before them. Colin Robertson's evocative image encapsulates both nostalgia and anticipation surrounding
