    Season tickets details

    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...

    Season tickets details

    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...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Middlesbrough vs Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 8th May

    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...

    Can we get a point at Boro?

    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...

    Pre Match Saturday

    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.

    Saturdays atmosphere

    I know it’s can be perceived as slightly cringeworthy and not for everyone, plus there’s the whole ‘The Enemy aren’t actually from Cov’ thing, but I quite enjoy the music being turned down for the fans to sing the chorus of ‘We live and die in these towns’…..!

    Pre Match Saturday

    Change of routine for us tomorrow, partly as expecting big queues, but more so as we usually eat/drink 25/30 minutes walk from the ground so drinking closer tomorrow to enjoy the atmosphere. Dhillons is probably best for that, it’s where I’ve been going for the odd change of routine, but my Dad...

    Welcoming the lads on Saturday!

    What are the players like with the fans on the way in? Do they interact? Do they revel in it or are they more just taken back? Any players in particular stand out for good or bad reasons? Genuinely intrigued!

    Seen this on twitter , Vs Forest green in league 2

    Who wants to start the ‘where were you when we were shit?’ chants on Saturday? In all seriousness, for me, those times make games like Saturday even more special.

    I’m starting to believe

    I also don’t think we’re ready for the Prem, but for now I’m just enjoying the ride - especially as it’s one we didn’t think we’d be on after the numerous bumps this year. If we do get promoted; then what an incredible achievement. And whatever happens next year MR should remain. If we don’t...

    Match Thread Sheff United v West Brom

    I was planning to flick between the two. Put this on the Premier League thread, but didn’t realise it was on BT. One of the very rare times I decide to watch a Premier League game and I don’t have the bloody channel! Anyone recommend a stream?

    Premier League thread

    I very rarely watch the Premier League (until next year obviously) and the night I decide to watch the Arsenal/Man City game it’s on bloody BT - which I don’t have! Anyone recommend a stream?

    Play-off schedule

    Also trying not to count chickens, but 5th would be absolutely ideal. Family wedding on Saturday 13th so that’s a no go. Midday the following day is going to be a stretch; it’ll be a very early start and I doubt I’ll be feeling particularly fresh but much more achievable!

    Match Thread Blackburn vs Burnley- MATCH THREAD

    I’ve switched off. I struggle to get into games when Cov aren’t playing (even if they impact us) but when the games are boring it makes it even harder. I’ll follow on here, and if it sounds like it’s getting good I’ll switch back. Regardless, I don’t really care how boring or good it is, just...

    Match Thread Blackburn vs Burnley- MATCH THREAD

    He was very very good. Be a good one to sign with our Premier League money next year, bags of potential.

    Championship 22-23

    Got to hope Burnley turn up, which is questionable after a few suspect results. We might even give that tosser Bellamy a few redemptions points if he can help get them up for the local derby.

    Birmingham attendance

    We unanimously agree people who run on the pitch are tossers. If someone runs on during this game, with the number of people missing out on tickets, I hope they get everything they deserve.

    Saturdays atmosphere

    Definitely need to get that party/festival type atmosphere going, be it a sea of sky blue, banners, greeting the players beforehand etc. I’m sure fans will appreciate the need and get involved. Massive requirement here is spreading those messages, and we have no central way of doing that. It...

    Club Shop

    Been to the club shop twice in the last two weeks. I really don’t want this to sound like a dick comment or criticism of any individuals, it’s purely an observation/potential feedback. It really isn’t very customer friendly in there. Appreciate it might not be the most interesting job in the...
