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

Got ticket for my normal seat in bantams bar didn’t realise it was gonna b 20 quid

 

Yes but it’s a cup game where the club have decided not to reserve your usual seat so it’s effectively the same as turning up to an away game with 2 mins to kick off, standing like a moron in the isles whilst scrutinising the block/row/seat number, then realising that the person in your seat ain’t gonna move

 

Got our 2 normal seats in the Morrison Stand for the game £40 but well worth it IMO after reading some of the stuff in this thread, I don't need the hassle.

 

I think if it’s largely the regular fans attending, rather than new fans tempted by the £5 offer, then it’ll be pretty straight forward.
Do agree it’s crap communication from
city once again tho

 

I have no idea why they have done it like this. If they wanted to give ST holders a head start, they could have reserved them for 24 hours. Then out to the general public.

 

Why is it so hard for people to sit in a seat they are ment to be in.

 

Boro nearly sold out already.
Only a few hundred seats remaining for them.

 

So what your guess with regards the attendance 10,000+ ?.

 

Club were quoted before the weekend that we'd sold 11k.
Be closer to 12k now.
More than half of the Lower West Stand and Lower Kop have been sold.
Over 2 weeks till the game.
I think we might be pushing 16k come kick off.
None of the group I'm going with have purchased yet and there's 10+ wanting tickets.

 

I have to be honest and say if I had not purchased our Bro tickets on Friday I'm not sure after that show on Saturday I would be attending, but we go again.

 

Then you have the issues that happened in the Carlisle match with people in Midland Road trying to find available seats and anyone who wants to move from their seat has limited options. This meant that all season ticket holders had the same chance to get a ticket where they want.

 

Looks like Middlesbrough have sold out apart from the wheelchair seats

 

I didn’t know they had given over the Midland Road to away fans. I can see it is a money making opportunity but I don’t agree with it. If we are going to do that I would want Midland Road ST holders to have the same access as other ST holders obviously. Surely it is not beyond the admin to work out a (reserve seat) for all Midland Road ST holders so they are not left to scramble like last time.

 

Season ticket seats are unreserved so Midland Roaders have the same option as those from the other stands

 

Confirmed as sold out for Middlesbrough. It will be interesting to see how many actually turn up in both ends and who just bought a ticket for the loyalty points https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2023/september/11/bradford-/

 

At £5 it's a steal for 20 City points, but given a decent night I'd hope most who have purchased a ticket will attend.

 

This match is a "free hit" for Hughes, he can play a formation not having to be concerned about losing because if we do lose it's no shame. Lets just hope he uses it to free some shackles and see what can be done if he does. Not holding my breath on it though.

 

Any chance of this match being on telly ?

 

Sky have already picked their 2 games and I can't see it being picked for international broadcast so highly unlikely it will be on tv
