Apparently the away pub today is Bloom. Heading there in about 20 mins.

Currently in Spoons - it’s pretty much all Boro fans, but £1.50 for an ale is ridiculous!!

Went to Nero for a coffee - all the medical staff were there! Recognised some but not others. There was a cockney bloke who was the loudest by far. Quick Google tells me it’s likely Adam Hearn - Head of Sports Science.

Didn’t feel too nervous, but now I’m en route and surrounded by people talking about it (albeit Boro fans), starting to feel it a little. Still calm overall, but doubt I will be in a few hours! Going to a tense/nervous/exciting period of time between 3-5!!

Surreal pre match so far; departing train station is also an active steam railway, so loads of steam related activities going on. Despite being in the middle of nowhere, 8 Boro fans boarded where I did, and each stop at the next tiny village even more get on. I suppose it probably is the...

I saw that earlier too! Can’t find much online either!

I have a spare ticket for the game on Monday. It will have to be collection from the ground/somewhere in Middlesbrough on the day of the game as I’m away this weekend. The ticket is/was £31 (plus a pint if the opportunity arises!). Warning; I might be slow to reply as I’m in the middle of...

Where are people at the game drinking/congregating beforehand?

King/the Board listen to “customers” and change aspects being moaned about for the last few days, yet it’s still being spun as negative. Mental!

Haha and why would that be?!

As simple as it sounds, what are everyone’s plans before the incredibly significant game on Monday? I am fortunate enough to have a ticket, and I mentioned it on the match thread, but by (sort of) fortunate coincidence I’m away for the weekend for a family birthday in a tiny village situated in...

I have. For various reasons we can’t move from block 20, so for an extra £20 it makes sense. I’m fortunate in that I only have myself to consider. I was going to get a JSB for my daughter but as she’s only 3 and unlikely to make many games, it’s definitely not worth it.

Lot of frustration over hypotheticals here. Let’s wait and see if the atmosphere is better or worse; let’s wait and see if ST sales increase or not; let’s wait and see the impact it has on transfers. I get there’s some sections which have been genuinely impacted, but while not ideal options...

Get the point you’re making but don’t think it’s the same.

Yea that’s the only option I had.

I see the Doug King video opposite to a few on here - it’s tongue in cheek and he’s happy to not take himself too seriously. I don’t think the DK hype is fully justified, but an owner who’s willing to do that, show passion at games and want to be part of what’s happening at the club, is surely...

I’m block 20, so it’s increased from last year which clearly isn’t ideal, but as I’m just buying for me I’m not as impacted as others. I was going to get my elders daughter a JSB ticket this year as would have been worth it for the couple of games she’d actually make, but that plan is now out...

Strange journey ahead for me. I’m away this weekend for my Mother in Laws birthday, however by complete and utter (sort of fortunate) coincidence it’s on the North East coast and about 30 miles from Middlesborough. Downside is the cottage is in a tiny village in the Moors so the only suitable...

Of course we can get a point. Not only are we a good team and therefore more than capable, our players are going to incredibly motivated. I’d also argue more so than Boro, consciously or not, if you knew you had a play off semi in less than a week are you really going to go all out, risk...

Got the train from there this morning. Big police presence around and one (fat ginger) Blues fan shouted ‘Cu*ts’ as walking through the station - what a lad.
