Do they actually want them at the game? Make other arrangements...good idea plod...so-as you have no ****ing idea where they are... Carnage..
Would it not be cheaper for Boro to send the season ticket holders in a taxi instead of wasting all that money on a big 30 seater bus
Someone watching with interest.... Former Dutch international Bolo Zenden will be an interested spectator this weekend as two of his former clubs meet in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup with Budweiser. The 35-year-old, who is currently a free agent, has represented both Middlesbrough and Sunderland, leaving the latter at the end of last season. Zenden played 88 games for Boro between 2003 and 2005 after joining from Chelsea. He later tasted success with both Liverpool and Marseille before a successful spell with Sunderland between October 2009 and May 2011. The midfielder remains a popular figure on Wearside after donning the red and white stripes for almost two seasons, ending his tenure at the Stadium of Light on an emotional note with a goal against West Ham on his final appearance. Although Zenden won't be at the game on Wearside this Sunday, he will be keeping an eye on proceedings from afar and is expecting an entertaining derby clash. "It's a very interesting north-east derby - even more interesting because in a cup game anything can happen," he said. "I believe that Sunderland being at home will be an advantage for them, but then again the other side are only coming from just down the road! "Both teams will believe they can win the game - Boro are doing well in the Championship although it has been a difficult period for them of late. "They will be working hard during the second half of the season and who knows, they might get back up into the Premier League. "It would be great to see three north-east clubs in the top division again." Meanwhile Zenden says he still holds both Boro and the Black Cats in the highest regard and is in turn fondly remembered by both sets of fans. He's been impressed with the job Martin O'Neill has done since replacing Steve Bruce as manager on Wearside and says the impact of positive results shouldn't be underestimated. "I had some great times at Middlesbrough and we progressed a long way," he said . "It's good to see them picking up the pace again because Boro are a great club with good facilities and good people. "I am impressed with what Martin O'Neill has done at Sunderland, too. "You always expect something to change with a new manager but he made an impact straight away . "Getting results makes a big difference, and not just in the table. The players will be enjoying their football and the rest will follow."
