What will the allocation be :rolleyes:

What was the last one 1500 or 1800

1500 but went up 500 the day before because they hadn't sold out.

FA cup rules though, bigger allocation

Apparently :rolleyes:

'Boro won't sell out this game, they may aswell give you the whole stand behind the goal. Or sell their tickets for a quid again.

Well get a token allocation in all probability. Going by the usual rules we should get 5,250 but they are always dicks about standing and will probably reduce that significantly.

250


Seriously though I can't see us getting nearly as many tickets as we're supposed to.

Although Cup rules apply Boro played Man U at home in Cup a few years back and were muppets and only gave them, 1500. Very true that Boro cant sell their own allocation so should give United 5500 for a far better atmopsphere- we will see

Utd had 1,000 in the league this season, they increased it to 1,500 2 days before the game.
In the cup 3 years back, they only gave Utd 1,000 tickets.

After this years league game, they said no problems occured and they will look at increasing future allocations, I hold my breath!

What will the prices be?
last 2 Boro home cup games have been less than £10 for adults.
utd in town, so time to recover any losses!

I went to the Albion v Boro game last night and all of Boro's 2500 stood, i wonder if they will be taking reduced allocations for their own fans in future then eh?

That's something else that will be interesting to see.

Has anyone noticed the stewards are more leaniant at FA cup games. I went to Sheff Utd where all Swans fans stood without being told to sit, and around 1000 home fans stood, and a similar thing happened at Ipswich, where I expected the stewarding to be strict, after reading on this site. Have you noticed the same? and is there anything in this.

we'll give united 6000 probably(whole of south stand).
don't think the standing issue will matter.

very very much doubt that one mate...will probably end up with about 2k if were lucky

I thought that, i think maybe there less stewards overall.

From what i hear in the league they try and get those who stand to sit.

Not when to go FA cup though, last FA cup game there was a massive fight in the stand and then TWO steward turned up after about 5 minutes with a safety officer.

no,we give every club so far the chance to have 6000 so i reckon we'll give you that aswell,i may be wrong but that is what i think

From the boro website

FA Cup Ticket announcement delayed.

boro have announced that ticket prices for the united game will not be announced until after a meeting of the riverside stadium safety advisory group tommorrow

:angry: :angry:

Every other club gets 3,000 tickets for the league visit, utd get 1,000

The only thing in our favour, is that its on BBC at 5:15 and Boro fans prefer to watch on TV than attend games.

If the safety advisory panel say we will reduce Uniteds allocation for standing will they then say all Boro fans who attended WBA away should not attend as they all stood and were putting everyones life at risk. Obviously not but it just shows how pathetic it all is. I really hope Boro agree to giving 5250 tickets to united and they will all stand and the commentators all agree what a great atmos was created by Uniteds fans - just as has happened in most of Uniteds away games already this season - ie Charlton and Reading.

when Boro had them 2 late comeback games in the UEFA cup last season, the whole ground was stood up for the last 10 mins, fans on the pitch after the winning goal and total mayhem.
yet, Ron Turnbull (The safety manager) an his pals, didnt issue any statements on the matter.

Lets get a few things straight about the issue of Man Uniteds (and Newcastles) reduced allocations over the last few seasons.
1. Despite all the rumours and all the crap that journalists write and everyone believes these 2 clubs do NOT get their allocation reduced for standing. Admittedly, the club/council do not like them standing and will make issues of it on the day of the match but the reason their allocation is reduced is becos they misbehave - fact. They cause trouble and so receive less tickets.
2. The council decide to reduce the allocation, NOT the club.

The first point is more important. Also, Liverpool, they usually behave when they visit the Riverside (sounds odd for Liverpool fans I know), but they do, and they all also stand all game, but they still get 2,800 tickets for a league game which is the maximum allocation at the riverside for a league game.

1 last point about adult tickets bein less than £10 for our cup games this season - this is not true, they have been exactly £10, and also BOTH clubs have to agree to the prices, so if the prices are higher against Man U then United are as much at fault as Boro. Also bear in mind that its now the last 8, and the competition is gettin more fierce therefore the ticket prices tend to go up, as they would do anywhere else.

Tufty - get your facts right.

Nobody gets more than 2,800 tickets when they come to the riverside, and the only clubs whove had that and taken all of it this season are Liverpool and Everton becos both sets of fans behave yet the Liverpool fans stand, i know it sounds weird for the 2 scouse clubs but its true.

And also, no fans ran on the pitch during our comebacks, not once. As far as I could see (and i have a good view at the top of the North Stand), nobody was even need to be prevented from goin on the pitch.

Finally, our away support often stands up persistently as does a lot of others. And if the clubs or council of these teams wants to do owt about it thats up to them, it just so happens that our council does.

Can you please define trouble?

It wouldn't be the council who decided it would be the SAG.
And it most liekly is standing because I have been to meeting at Leicester with the H&S head and he says that they are being pressured by the SAG (not council) to reduce/close the away ends that stand.

trouble - misbehavin, causin problems etc

And the council did decide it, and its NOT becos of standing, thats absolute fact.

Again I'm stuggling to understand tbh. Nothing to do with you, just if they are now reducing our allocations for United misbehaving I'd like to know what exactly they mean.

What are these problems they refer to?

told ya you would get all of south(6000)

I agree, maybe not so much cause trouble, but they get rowdy and boistorous and with all the money that is spent on policing these away fans, it's far easier for them to slash the allocation and save money. Cleveland Police will have a big hand in it, they hate Newcastle. Always causing trouble.

\0/ get in

Actually holgate, its just under 5,000.

we arent getting the full allocation of tickets, just the full stand.
last time we played at boro in the cup, we only had 1,000 tickets in the end holding 5,600
At least the price is reasonable

So how many tickets are you getting and how much are they selling for ?

No idea

Confirmed 3600

Interesting last quote there

http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/news/tm_...-name_page.html

keith lamb is really,really boring andwould'nt support anything out of the ordinary.

and why do we support non-standing when we stand every away game?
boro really do need to open their eyes.

exactly the same as the south is'nt it?

so we'll have the same number of man u fans as we do in the new holgate(north) and that is'nt good for our atmosphere.

Would you Adam and Eve it got one in the ballot

Game on :ph43r:
