(h) v Middlesbrough League (Carabao) Cup 3rd Round - Tue 26 September 2023 7.45pm

I don't think anyone covers EFL Cup only Sky, its not even on those dodgy fire sticks I'm told.

 

Middlesbrough have sold all the away allocation tickets, serious question, how many is that?

 

My best guess would be 3000

 

4,056 or somewhere very near

 

exactly that according to boro's website.
how many are we at.

 

Well if Middlesbrough have sold between 3 to 4 thousand, that means we have sold 9 to 10 thousand with less than week at £5,can we get to 17 / 18 thousand.

 

i think City said on twitter we were at 13,000 with two weeks left to go.

 

not bad, is that total sales including boro

 

Looking at the seats sold I wouldn't be surprised if they decide the close the TL Dallas stand as very few tickets seem to have been sold in there.

 

With 15000 season ticket holders the ticket sales with a week to go is a bit disappointing

 

About 9k to home fans

 

2 weeks to go......60 % of season ticket holders bought.....not a particularly glamorous tie. Don't think it's too bad personally!!

 

Matches what's happening on the pitch then

 

13k with a fortnight left is fantastic.
No rush and shifting over 500 a day.
Might be 20k with a home win on Saturday.

 

I think we'll see a 20k+ crowd now that:

- it's known Boro are bringing 4,000 (always a better atmosphere with a large away following)
- it's known that 13,000 have already been sold in total
- there's still 2 weeks until the match
- i saw the large queues at the ticket office with people buying Boro tickets on Saturday, i envisage it'll be the same this Saturday
- Boro have sold out they might have a few dotted around in the home ends
- if we win on Sat it might prompt sales even further
- all parts of the ground are open for it
- tickets are only a fiver

 

That would be great..........the home win on Saturday I mean.

 

I think it is understandable. We are not playing scintillating football atm. Brave of the club to lower the price, so it isn’t the price, in my view it is the style of football. Although this competition is not that well attended unless we get a big club.

 

Suggests to me that financialy at least they would have been better charging more
