Match Day Thread Play Off Final. Hull City v Boro

[Charon]

Boro still haven't put anything on their website about tickets - maybe they're waiting for the Southampton fans to start selling theirs

 

[petersaxton]

Change of time to accommodate boro fans doesn't make sense, time is what it is earlier or later doesn't make any difference to them you'd think? I imagine there will be a fleet load of local coaches ready and willing to go and they'll sell over 30k easily

It doesnt matter so much with coaches but a lot of people travel to London by train

Some of those LNER services are about to be filled.

It was a bad call, for fans heading back up North 16:30 is a tight call esp if we win and want to enjoy the celebrations. 3pm pretty please.

I cant imagine they would flip and make a sensible decision!

 

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

This made me laugh, probably more than it should have. Literally just prior to the announcement

Luckily they havent sent out the tickets and only collected the money!

 

[bradymk2]

Bet theres at least 1 southampton fan who turns up not knowing about this news

 

[Gone For A Walk]

Think the only reason boro arw put in is so the efl doesnt lose the game and all its revenue

Really we should get a bye

This.
100%.
Absolutely right decision to expel Southampton. They got that much right.
But money has talked and they've bottled it by bringing Boro back in.
I just knew they'd bottle it. Let's just hope we win and fans have a good day out, then justice is done inspite of EFL.

EFL now in conversations with all three clubs.

Imagine they're asking us if we're happy to move the game to give Middlesbrough time to get their tickets and travel sorted and we refuse.

 

[TIGERSCAVE]

Conservative 5/10k City and Boro fans on the same platforms at Kings Cross and on tubes to KC... what could go wrong...

 

[petersaxton]

Southampton web site is still saying they are playing us!

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

The Sky reporter who covers the south coast almost crying in his report just now...

Show some respect

**** changing the day. Pay on the gate. Job done

Maybe refuse to reimburse Southampton tickets & give boro a freebie

Absolutely no way we should move it to accommodate others, out of the 3 clubs involved we are the only team that have rightfully earned their place.

what will Southampton recommend?

Can they not divert to another station, or at least separate platforms?

Also won't city have already booked out a lot of the capacity?

 

[Drew]

Do the Southampton fans who have bought tickets to the game have to accept refunds?

 

[petersaxton]

You would think they would bring back football specials and use different London stations
