Boro's chance of a bumber crowd for the quarter final tie with Everton or Crewe has been dashed by the match been shown on terrestrial TV.
Boro's stay at home fans will have another chance for a front row seat, in the comfort of their own home (or pub). Lets hope the club come up with a suitable pricing arrangement to tempt them back.
I know it's not particularly exciting but at least you can say "I was there when. . ." No doubt there will be 30,000+ fans demanding tickets for the final, if we get there.
