Support The Boro This Saturday

With a 32000 crowd for the opening game of the season against Spurs, Boro are looking for a full stadium once again this weekend.

Tickets are now on sale for the game against newly promoted Stoke City FC on Saturday August 30, 3pm kick off.

As with Tottenham, Stoke are likely to bring a strong following of fans, expected to be around 4000 for thier second away premier league game of the season.

Neil Bausor, Middlesbrough Football Club's Chief Operating Officer said: "We were delighted to see the Riverside so full for the opening match, creating an atmosphere that undoubtedly helped the team record a great win.

"Initiatives such as family tickets, Boro Pride and £95 season cards for under-18s helped to boost the attendance and it's clear that increasing numbers of fans are utilising the opportunity to book their seats online or over the phone.

"We're aware that some supporters had to queue on the day of the match and we apologise for that. The best way to avoid ticket queues is to sign up either for a season card or Boro Pride card, but we are committed to the continual improvement of all of our operations to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible to support the team.

"A big 'thank you' to all fans who were there. It would be fantastic if we topped the 30,000 mark again, especially as we've not achieved that for successive league games in almost two years.

"I'm sure Boro fans would love to experience another great atmosphere and will look forward to out-singing Stoke's large contingent of travelling supporters."
