Birdie 83 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I was surprised they came by ordinary post. I went to a play-off final a couple of years ago and am sure the tickets came by recorded delivery. I assumed the extra charge on top of the ticket price was covering that? Ordinary post seems a bit risky for such valuable items. Were they sent First Class or Second Class? Still waiting for mine, purchased on Sunday, and I live only 12 miles from the ground. Link to post Share on other sites
chapattheback 25 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 1st class, franked, from Manchester. I assume from ticketmaster HQ, not Boro. Mine were ordered Sunday morning. Arrived Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites
Birdie 83 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 1st class, franked, from Manchester. I assume from ticketmaster HQ, not Boro. Mine were ordered Sunday morning. Arrived Tuesday. Thought it would be First Class at the very least. Would have expected the club to post them Recorded Delivery, but I imagine Ticketmaster is more profit orientated. Strange the club have given the impression in some statements that they are managing the printing of tickets. Wonder what happens if they don't turn up? Link to post Share on other sites

dunnerzzz 17 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Surely Friday morning is fine too though? The game is on Monday after all. I bought my tickets on Monday and still aint received them. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have friends or relatives on Teesside that could go down to the Stadium tomorrow? The info on the website just says to pick up tickets you need to bring ID or confirmation email. The Boro twitter account is a bit crap at replying so there's no point anybody asking them. Link to post Share on other sites

Onme'eadson 44 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 If Bamford is injured or not fit enough to make the starting 11, I would love to see Kike on the pitch from the start. I can just imagine his celebration if he scores 1, that lad absolutely loves scoring.... :D Link to post Share on other sites
Hewie 94 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I actually don't mind Kike starting. He is actually a decent enough striker that I think will be underestimated more than Bamford up front. I can see 2 men on Bamford all game, yet Kike might get more of a free reign and Adomahs side might get shut down more if its Kike up front. I certainly think Kike up front in the second leg was 200% more fruitful than Bamford in the first. All depends on Bamfords fitness. Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus 63 478 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think everyone agrees it's a big risk to start Bamford now, he's not match fit, and bound to be off the pace. Impact sub at best for this match now. UTB Link to post Share on other sites

Naughty Boy 18 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Its starting to drag now, especially knowing the game is Monday... Training will probably step up a gear for the players today after yesterday off... I hope all our players who start are fully fit. UTB. Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus 63 478 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The season seems to have been going in slow motion since the Brighton game. Monday will really drag for me waiting until midnight kick off here. Link to post Share on other sites
