Surely that 2,000 is an initial allocation.

EFL clubs are only obliged to give 2,000 tickets to away fans, or 10% of the ground's capacity, whichever is the smaller.

That's a crap allocation. We should only give them the same back. It's not like they'll sell out the home end.

Exactly.. poor allocation that. Clubs are taking the piss in this league, give them the same back or charge them the same.. simple..

I think it will but will go very fast at that point.

Still a risk of it moving for TV too?

Famous last words but the TV picks are already done for this weekend so it should stay at 3pm Saturday

With it being a dull place to go and far away, I think it should make All STH's. Swansea made it all the way down to members and that is pretty comparable.

Blasphemy! You seen the transporter bridge!

 

Looking forward to this one, I always like the trip up to Boro and a good ko time too given Sunderland is a midweek.

Looking 2 tickets for this

I swore never to return to Middlesbrough after that awful 0-0 just after new years that one year. Guarantee I’ll be there for this

It's one of my "closer" ones, so always go there if it's at the right time. I actually didn't do that 0-0, last time I went was when we beat them 1-2 first game of the 13/14 season.

The dullest game of football I've ever seen. 

Every player was still hung over from New years eve, probably.

The parmos are good though.

[adejo92]

Hoping this reaches all STHs

[Devonfox1884]

2 questions:

 

1. If unsuccessful in the ballot, what chance this reaches all members?

 

2. Am I a mug for wanting to travel up from Devon for this?

No. We're top of the league man! Plus Middlesbrough look like they're starting to turn their season around so it might end up being a really good game.

[Karlb94]

Having seen the allocation I doubt this will get to me at fox member status

 

I'm a Leicester fan in Teesside! So if someone can't make it but wants the points on their account - let me know and I'll snap their hand off

I remember that day . Bloody freezing and dullest game ever

If you're planning to go by train, don't forget that you can sometimes get good savings by "splitting tickets" (ie buying separate tickets for different legs of the journey).

 

It doesn't always help, but in this particular case you can reduce the price of Leicester to Middlebrough from an obscene £122 (or £119 if you buy advance tickets) to a "cheaper" £55-£57.

 

(Leicester-Sheffield 2 advance singles for £13.50,  Sheffield-York £21.80 offpeak day return,  York-Middlesbrough 2 advance singles £19.40, or flexible return for £21.30).    The only real restriction here being that you have to go via the above stations Sheffield and York.

 

You can also get 1/3 off these prices if you have a railcard (obvs).

Birmingham received an additional allocation of 662 tickets after their initial allocation, giving them 2,538 in total.

[CrazyKopCorner]

Birmigmham are a fantastically run club though, 

 

Will our lot request an additional allocation? 

[Drew Peacock]

Has anyone else been charged £23 instead of £19 for an under 18 ticket?

Edit: It is an error so anyone who has bought one make sure you get refunded and hopefully anyone buying from now should get charged the correct amount.

I've flagged it with LCFC / Jim
