    Not a phrase you hear often, but they've just announced our ticket details for Middlesboro away - £12 a ticket to ambassadors (if you bought a s/t early doors), £15 others - although the others go on sale Wednesday and there may not be any left.

    Then again, can't see 4000 travelling to Teeside for a Sunday game, 6 - 7 hours on a bus for us :'(

    Hope you have better procedures than we do

    Just as well we didn't get a team away that were involved in a replay!

    £25 for us

    And we get the pleasure of seeing Bobby Hassell take on the likes of Essien, Lampard & Ballack in midfield.

    Actually, our tickets (3930 of them) don't go on sale until Sunday. Big task if you ask me to sell that lot in less than a week. Think that's why they're so cheap. Then again, we sold 6000 Liverpool tix (granted more attractive, but midweek) in a day.

    We were going to fly to Newcastle on the Saturday & come back Sunday night, £45 return. By the time the tie was decided, it's up to £134 so it's on the bus I'm afraid - 7 hour party each way :D

    Credit to Boro tbh

    ...both clubs agreed on pricing of the game - and they had the same price policy against Sheff Utd. They took 1500 btw - bet we beat that, 300miles across country or not!

    Surely not

    They're a big club, who should still be playing their football in the Premier League. Apparently.

    The same ones

    That criticised our support up there this season (5-600 on a tuesday when we were playing garbage) - who'd brought 160 to Ninian Park on a Saturday in April when they were about to be promoted to the Prem! Worst support we've had at NP in the Championship

    No, no, no

    They're a big club. Honest, Jeff.

    You best hurry up 'cos as far as I know hotel rooms are as rare as rocking horse s***. Its Rugby League Millenium Magic weekend and the place was rammed last year. Looking forward to catching Cardiff v Barnsley, followed by Hull v Rovers all in the same day, nursing a hangover from the night before!
