Chivs Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Can you hear the Boro sing?Normally here we get a few of the opposition on, crowing or being generally abusive. It's always good fun of course.However, this time, not a single Middlesborough fan.Do they have t'internet in Middlesborough? Where have they all gone?

Where have they all gone?They're all on the bristol city rivals forum, not being abusive atall.. just asking general questions about the surroundings, pubs, places to stay, that they're looking forward to the game etc etc, seems like a alright bunch.

City_pete1 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I randomly met a 'boro fan in a hotel bar on saturday where I was for a function. When watching skysports news for the scores. He was coming back down to bristol from Midds next week in a minibus with a load of his mates. Asking me about our players, saying he thinks we have a good chance. He did say that boro have been playing a lot better after xmas (as last sats job shows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Spot on. We are insignificant small fry to the Premeirship big boys.Wouldn't exactly call them big, judging by their apparent ticket sales so far. Didn't Everton fill the East End on a Tuesday in the Carling Cup? Now that's impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Middlesbrough is a 5/6 hour trip, then they've got a 7 hour trip next Tuesday, Liverpool is more like 3 ½ hours.I wouldn't expect the same supporters to go to both games. Surely a supposed big club has more than 2,000 fans that ever go away? I think they've only been allocated 1,000 tickets for the Pompey game anyhow so I still don't think that can be used as an excuse. I would have thought the FA Cup would be a priority for Boro at the moment (they're not really in the relegation fight and not challenging for Europe either).

lukejones2 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 To be fair, I went to Villa with Boro this season as my mate is a Boro fan and I was sat in an away crowd of about 400. Awful following! I think this game is more popular for them than that though as: A = they like the prices and B = they have a big Southern support who will be coming along and C = They had a good weekend here when they played at the Mill recently and a vast number a looking to repeat that away trip! I quote.. "they have some good bars along by that canal thing..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
