shabbyhouse Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I'm driving, reckon i'll be parking at the railway station. Couple of pubs there also. Zetland Multi-storey CP, easily seen off A66 on the west side of M'boro, lhs of road.. Walk past 2 pubs, first is a bit dodgy, 2nd is the Zetland (opp. rly stn) where I'll be with my Boro fan mates (not wearing any blue & white), as I live up here. 17 mins walk to the ground from there. Fingers x-ed it's not raining as it's a reyt hike into a norteasterly. Is the Riverside one of the coldest grounds in the country??? UTO!!!

northeastowl Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 The Wetherspoons is called Isaac Wilson's. If your coming by train take a right out of the train station and go under the bridge. The pub is on the main road on the right hand side..1 minute walk from the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest East_Dene_Owl Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Whose going to the grim town of Boro and where are you planning on drinking beforehand. Our plans (3 buses) are heading for Yarm Make that 4 buses unless ours is one of the 3. :Dark unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceders123 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Whats the problem with walking the down Bridge St E/ Windward Way from the railway station? Just not the best of areas that side of the tracks and nothing there. This way there is are a few pubs on the way, mcdonalds, nandos, pizza hut aswell, and would give you a better impression of middlesbrough. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceders123 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Got to say Middlesbrough is growing on me Its certainly not a bad place. Just been portrayed badly in some tv programmes. I've travelled around the country a fair bit and you can find shitty areas and people in most places. The key is finding out where they are beforehand and avoiding them.

Owls2k Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Only a few tickets left online just got mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeastowl Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 So do we look like selling the away end out? How many tickets have we received? The allocation we have sold is for about 3100....unsure if we will get another one, best asking James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kn-OWL-edge Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Four of us are in the Directors Box as Boro's Chief Ops Manager is from Dronfield, although he's a blade. Drinking down Yarm after the match with some of the Boro players. Saying overnight in the Sporting Lodge Hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest East_Dene_Owl Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 The allocation we have sold is for about 3100....unsure if we will get another one, best asking James. FROM FOOTBALL FANS GUIDE...... Away supporters are housed in the South Stand at one end of the stadium. Up to 4,500 fans can be accommodated in this area. The turnstiles are electronic which means that you have to insert your ticket in a reader, to gain entry. Once inside then the leg room is okay and the view from the away section is excellent. However, the concourse running behind the stand is quite narrow, meaning that it can get quite crowded at half time and before kick off. There is a Ladbrokes betting outlet available and there are a number of flat screen televisions, showing Sky Sports (and the match itself once it has kicked off). The catering had a fair choice of grub on offer in the form of balti pies (£1.80), minced beef pies (£1.80), rollover sausages (£2.40), cheeseburgers (£2.40), pizza (£2.30), chips (£1.50) and curry sauce (£0.50). On my last visit they were also offering a 'pie and a pint' for £4.10. One thing to point out is that there isvery little in the way of pubs or eating establishmentsnearby, so you will need to head into the town centre for these.

Yep the whole away end holds 4500 but we have only been given an initial allocation judging by the online ticket sales, which holds about 3100 ( of which theres about 7 tickets left). So wonder if we will get the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
