[Billy Seagull]

and it won't be AMS either

 

[Yorkie]

So I am Dannbhoy. It's more money for us

 

[Beach Hut]

Might even get the luxury of being live as well - all money to the club.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Bit far to go midweek! Have to fly there I guess

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Btw anyone remember the last time we played them in the League Cup?

 

[The Great Cornholio]

how much could we make out of the tie, money wise?

A conservative guess - 10000 x £15 = £150000. 40% of £150000 = £60000.

Can't see a big crowd and they may well reduce prices.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Nice draw should bring in some revenue

ill go 7,200 .boro get shit support for games like this.if it was newcastle it might be different.

 

[Yorkie]

Btw anyone remember the last time we played them in the League Cup?

I can't find that but we are the team they beat in their biggest ever victory. 9-0 in 1958

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

It was the last time we conceded 5 before Palace last October

 

[BrightonBird]

I would love to go to the game, but t's a long long way. Anyone prepared to go upto Middlesbrough for a mid week match?

 

[Eggman]

I would be prepared to go, its the Albion after all.

 

[BrightonBird]

Does anyone know the date? Or when it will be announced?

Still not sure if going. It means taking off 1 or 2 days off work.

 

[Beefy]

The crowd won't get anywhere near 10,000.I remember once when Boro played Wimbledon in an FA Cup replay and the crowd was about 5,000.

Shame its so far away as I don't think there's anyway of me (or many other BHA fans)getting there.

 

[Yorkie]

I can get there. I may even change my mind about moving seeing as how it's easier for me to travel to these grounds

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

You can fly Gatwick - Teeside

 

[Yorkie]

Boro are playing on the Sunday 21st against Everton and again on the 27th against Southampton so my guess is the Wednesday night 24th September.

 

[Blackadder]

You can fly Gatwick - Teeside

I couldn't find any flights from Gatwick. There seem to be some from Heathrow.
