EFL Cup - Semi-Final draw

Yes, .FC and Rovers fans will tell you the RFL have done that to them for years.

 

Yeah, didn'the Pearson score twice in a 2-0 at BP? Then they bought him. 70s when Utd spent season in div 2.

 

Little Boro took 9,500 so we should match that easily.

 

there was a stream of Newcastle fans crossing at the bottom of N5 into the Newcastle section - surely if the away end was already full letting more into an already full section is a health and safety issue - stewards didn't seem to care

 

It was their Cup Final last season.....lot of younger ones not been there before.

 

Did you watch on stream last night?

If so did you spot the Newcastle fan there showing off his shirt with a giant black and white stripey scarf draped round his neck?

In the home end.

 

The stewards are like Humberside Plod. Only bothered about enforcing regulations with City fans.

 

Yes.

 

I reckon wily Man U will already know that anyone can stroll up and buy as many tickets as they want, no questions asked at our automated ticket office, while a bored mouth breathing hi viz steward looks on.
Factor in the big game charlies and the foreign university students jizzing over Rooney in the warm up, and a potentially grim night is in prospect.

 

Happy with the draw, I'll just have to get the night off work for that one, then try & get a ticket. Either way, night off work is called for.

 

Yes, a whole 6 years since they last played there. Lots of primary school kids travelled no doubt. Meanwhile we have fans saying they can't go to home matches during the week as their little darlings have to be up for school. Aren't Smoggies awful, inconsiderate parents forcing their kids to stay up late?

 

Yet we take 7,500 to Hullsborough for a night game in the third tier.

 

If I had to live in Middlesborough, I'd attend as many away games as I could.

 

The best away night ever! Fact!

 

No. Bramall Lane 1970/71.

 

What does he cost of membership cover in January then because there's going to be potentially three games (semi final, round 3 and 4) that will be pay games. I think that leaves one home game that month. They really should have thrown the cup games in this membership lark to make sure it fills.

 

Hull and Middlesbrough are normally pretty close in any lists about less than salubrious places to live.
Though Middlesbrough is indeed a grotty place. Surprised so many can afford to go,to away games at it just a poor, low wage place as Hull.

 

Excellent night out in Yarm.

 

There will be reasons why you can't do that. Arsenal have a scheme including some cup games but can't offer it for all seats as more have to be given to away fans for cup matches.
