landford.saint Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 I take it there will be tickets on the gate. Was never intending to go, being married with mortgage, kids etc etc. However, long involved story, but Saturday morning I may have to be in Leeds. Which is only about 65 miles away. If I do its just a short trip to Boro. Wont know till later today, so will be bit of last minute thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian the Red Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Frankly if we take 3000 to 3500 supporters to Borro it shows how well the Club is supported. Fair play to everyone going, I wish I was going, but having done the Palace and Peterborough plus 9 other away games this season its a little hard to justify.............

Juan Mata was in the same bar as us. He wanted to have his picture taken with me and put it on facebook but he didn't want to disturb me. Be heading northh at 5. Good lads, see you up there.

For last game of season with an outside chance of making playoffs is pathetic for a club who are supposed to big a "big club" their home gates this season are shameful.Seem to average about 17500. Perhaps there's no money about in those parts these days, perhaps Newcastle and Sunderland have nicked all their 'Boro till I die" fans.Mind you it's a sh*t side compared to their recent past. Strachan destroyed them good and proper with his dinosaur tactics in a modern age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landford.saint Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Last of my three posts of the day. Was only going to Boro if I HAD to go to Leeds saturday morning due to the expense. Well I didn't HAVE to go to Leeds in the end. However Mrs LS said that we would be going to Boro after all, we would treat it as our wedding anniversary present to each other. Now I know why I married her. Our actual anniversary is 28th the date of the Coventry match. Am I going to get 2 memorable footy related presents, I hope so.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 I am fat, middle aged and quite like sitting down at football. I enjoy a few pints mixing with the locals and go to about 10 away games a season. Had there been nothing on this game, I wouldn't have gone. But worked out when the tickets first went on sale that this could well be the one, wanted my older boys and nipper to be there, so we're going. Is this allowed? I can't work out whether I am a plastic, an elderly person a middle-aged drip, or a laddish fan. I preferred it in the pre internet days, when I was just a Southampton supporter.But like i phones, Twitter , Facebook, and other modern things, working out what category of fan I am confusses me.............

Saints foreva Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 The ticket office have always been useless for the number of tickets sold. I remember asking them how many had been sold for that Ajax friendly, the person replied "Around 26,000, I think we're expecting a 30,000+ attendance".

100%Red&White Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Whether we're taking 3 or 3,500 we'll probably have the full area of 4,000 seats so if you're stuck in the corner move across into the empty seats. You'll get an improved view and it'll look better on the tele! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 I phoned their TO this morning, and I was told that there will be 1000 away tkts available from the away tkt office from 2.30, cash only. Putting something and something together to make something else .... the away section for this game is 4000, we took 3000 tkts at SMS and have sold most of those, tomorrow they will be selling new blocks. Walk up of 200-300 perhaps? Away section will be comfortably full without being rammed .... just right, less beer and food and loo queues for those that can be bothered to get there.

I'm inconveniencing myself financially to go as are many others I'm sure. 3000 is p*ss poor You've just answered your own question as to why we're not all going. This club has had five games over the last three weeks, tomorrow will be the sixth. We've had two home sellout crowds, a couple of thousand at Blackpool (which was televised), nearly 6k at Palace and over 3000 at Peterborough. All that over Easter when the 'Dads' amongst us (not me) will have had kids at home who need entertaining (money) at what not. We've also already sold out our final home game of the season. We'll end up having 3k fans at tomorrow's game which is also on TV and I think that's impressive in the context of the last few weeks. You can stamp your feet about it, but you're not going to change it, so just concentrate on going and enjoying your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
