The football ended up a bit of a damp squib but the atmosphere more than made up for it.
Walking to the match and seeing all the smiling faces made for a nice change.
The biggest cheer of the season was saved for King Kev's entrance and the army of photographers.
I think they expected us to score first judging by the number of them camped behind our goal.
They even wheeled out a trophy at half time - not ours I hasten to add, I think that will be a long time coming. Some rally champion paraded a huge cup round the pitch but how long till we get one for the football?
Still, the Keegan effect has definatly put the fun into it again....roll on boro.
