Boxing Day game

[NorthumberlandBoro]

I wonder if the excessive segregation is due to games like Coventry at home last season. Some of their idiot fans attempting to reach Boro fans in the East Stand.

Excessive segregation has been a thing for many years though.

I don't think they care.

But what don't they care about? Selling more tickets at fairly high prices?

Must be something to do with the Concourse .
Makes no sense.

Per Sheff wed...
The Owls’ trip to Middlesbrough on Boxing Day has sold out for away supporters.

Wednesday were allocated 2,067 tickets for the festive fixture at The Riverside.

Thank you for your support!

When you watch goals from other games stadiums like Hull's and Manchester City they have next to no segregation just a line of stewards and maybe a small barrier, wasnt Huddersfield similar last season where you could practically 'shake the hand' of an opposing supporter?

Derby earlier in the season…

I reckon Boro fans will end up all the way across the South and as far as possible across the East. Saw it a few times last season. If they limit away fans to 2k they can sell more to Boro fans.

That's good and unusual.

Looks like the South is now opened up right to the corner flag. Doesn't look like any scope to open up the east further though.

Only leeds have been given 4k+ for a league game at the Riverside

I thought MFC would open more once sales got close to capacity for this game, they have done so in the past, Chelsea in the FA cup comes to mind. It shows its lack of demand (at prices offered) not health and safety that is the main reason behind big segregation.

Boxing day is a day when Boro can get almost 30k home fans if the team is doing well and very likely will for Sheff Wed game.

Can he read?

Their web site quotes just over 2k.

 

[Redwurzel]

About 1450 tickets left for home fans - if sold all South Stand will be Boro fans.

Is this the most homes fans at the Riverside since the 2023 Play off Semi?

 

[northriding]

Wednesday have sold their full allocation of 2,067.

Wednesday have sold their full allocation of 2,067.

I should think so too

 

[Redwurzel]

Don't you just love Boxing Day at the Riverside - approximately 1,150 tickets left.

 

[Mysonpat.]

Looks around 500 left?

Nightmare getting 4 together anywhere today (I know, I know - I left it late, last minute change of plans......) singles only dotted in most blocks.

Deffo looks like a sellout
