Me too. They've been selling out their allocations all season, so they could easily fill the away end at £10/15 a pop. A side flying high in the second tier, full of top players at that level. The side that relegated us. Tosspot for a manager. I think it's a decent draw. Nowt special, but much better than about 40 other potential ties we could have got. However, we've to get past Chester yet, and they'd love Boro at home I'm sure. For us, I see that potential 3rd round tie as a good barometer of our progress.
We`ve hed some good games against Boro at Well. 3 home draws ont trot and now 3 home games ont trot ararnd New Year. Holidays are coming , holidays are coming.
Unless we drew a yorkshire rival, or a big prem club, folk were always going to call it a **** draw. I can think of many shitter.
If they stick with the Burton/Chester prices I can see their being more away fans at Oakwell than our own. They will see it was very winnable, are off for promotion so on an high, it's not far to come, cheap price, xmas/NY period and as you say they have travelled is huge number this season like their 5k other week at Wigan. At some point we'd probably have to start selling for them in the west stand and if that happens I can't see us having 7k of our own to match them.
Agree with this. Other than a big prem club, a local derby or a non league side this is about the next best draw. If this is **** I wonder what all them moaning would've made of Bristol City away
