[Mr Blobby]

Most teams take f**k all to Boro. Just had a quick look and

597 Portsmouth
591 Birmingham (Sunday 3pm)
295 Coventry
434 Ipswich
615 Leicester (Wednesday evening)
270 Millwall
931 Derby
209 Watford
1,292 Blackpool
1,243 West Ham (Tuesday night)

Boro took an impressive 612 to Bristol City on Saturday for a 5.30pm kick off (and live TV Coverage)!

 

[The Grockle]

At least 200 off this board alone then, should be a fantastic travelling audience of probably a thousand plus. Magnificent support.

Shit the bed! If we take anything like 1000 i'd be surprised. I reckon 537 (give or take a few)

 

[Albion Robster]

This kind of fixture should be double loyalty points for the die-hards who make the trip.
BTW: I'm not one of them.

[Renns]

Going with at least 4 others, fair play to anyone coming from the coast, very impressive!

 

[Whitley Bayster]

2 of us making the short 45 mile journey south from Whitley Bay. Its the one journey where we can truly say its grim down south!

 

[Arkwright]

What train from London are most people getting, we are on 10 (something), how about meeting in the buffett car and having an early Xmas Party. I'd be the fat bald bloke wearing a red carnation.

Would love to go as I have the day off work, but the cheapest train ticket I could find costs about £80, I'm chuffed if I'm driving on my own, and even if I did, the petrol costs won't be much different to the train price. So on that basis, like a few people I suspect, I really can't justify the expense two weeks before Christmas. I did go to Derby (I feel like I need to justify my hardcore status ).

If I could magic up a cheaper way of travelling up there, I'd be on it like a shot Anyone got Santa's number, he can't be using his sleigh yet...

£80 where did you get that from it's £128 on national rail enquiries.
PLEASE TELL

 

[pottert]

Unless we get any tips on cheap deals me & my drinking partner will be getting the 6.43 from portslade @ £128 each

 

[brixtonA23]

3 on the 8.30 from Kings Cross. Including one who's leaving Bristol on the 5.30 to meet us. Must be worth more than 10 points.

 

[pcol]

definite opportunity for a slow rendition of sussex by the sea at the riverside

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Definitely should be worth double the Loyalty points..

PLEASE TELL

Are you breaking the journey into 3 parts ? eg BTN to LDN , then LDN to York , then York to MBR. I did a quick check and think it can be done for under £100.

 

[pottert]

Definitely should be worth double the Loyalty points..

100%

How can Liverpool home be worth 20 points but boro away 600 mile round trip in December with snow around
only 10.

Isn't loyalty supporting your team everywhere no matter what.
