[Albion] ticket news for middlesbrough last day of season

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

They normally show two in full live and don't pick them until after the last round of games the previous weekend. So Monday April 27th or thereabouts.
Last year it was us v Forest and Reading v Burnley.
See http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/article/albion-live-on-sky-sports-1519446.aspx for the announcement last year on the monday before the weekend.

Cheers, will probably have to go for it before TV decided then.

Try Eaglescliffe instead of Middlesborough

We always do Eaglescliffe, I think it's a better route, also a decent pub outside the station when you get there.

For anyone interested, if you can get to London on time, there's a train leaving Kings Cross at 08.11 that gets in at 11.04

think yourself lucky you're not an OAP..£65

Get the stretch.

Why only 900 allocation?

Why only 900 allocation?

We won't take anymore than that and they could go up/win the league etc that day?

The Albion could easily offer these tickets free to anybody willing to travel, why not as a gesture, its a win win, players see a good away following, fans get a cheaper day out with more away atmosphere.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

A salute to all that go to Boro :
Have you met my wife

 

[Superphil]

Got a little B&B sorted in Scarborough for the weekend, looking forward to this, should be a cracking atmosphere, and one would expect a pretty close to full house.

Tony Bloom loses money and Albion are further away from their FFP target.

No idea why the FL insist on these types of fixtures for the last game of the season. Sky always bring fixtures forward to 12.15, getting to Forest last year was bad enough, lucky to make kick off for this one if I were to go on the train. Surely the fixture list could be tweaked so teams are playing a more "local" fixture for the final set of games, but then when did those in charge care about fans going to the games?

I agree. Got to Forest just as the match kicked off last season. To go to Middlebrough for 12.15 is an absolute joke. Of course being football fans we are the last to be considered when it comes to the dates or times of matches.

It has to be a stop over the night before for anyone going from Sussex. Surely?

Yeah that's the one, connection to MBR at 1108 or jump in a sherbert.

£30K towards free tickets would be very generous, I know the club now operates in a budget in excess of 10 million but thats a lot of dosh - free travel may be a cheaper alternative but I think the coach is already discounted at £25 (£20 of you do Wigan as well).

Perhaps Ulloa or Bridcutt would donate a weeks wages...

 

[Bold Seagull]

I wonder if the FSF's campaign including the 'twenty's plenty' for away fans will gain any traction?

or more likely fall on deaf ears...

We all got a free pint a couple of seasons ago..

I tend to think that £30-50 thousand is chicken feed, even for this club,....

 

[Uncle Buck]

It's funny how different people think. It's the one away game that does really appeal to me.

However, it's impossible to actually get there in time for kick-off on the train from Worthing.

Easy to do.

Get the 0542 ish, pick up the 0811 to Eaglescliffe and you can be in Boro by about 1120.

That is what we are doing.
