League Cup Third Round - Middlesbrough (H)

[robbo1874]

Nice to see a decent crowd for this- but doubt it will be >20k.

Is this free for season ticket holders again? Because, if not,  my seat is already sold

Are you looking at the league game ?

It doesn't look like the cup game is on sale yet

Doh!!  Thank you

I've just had my picture took in Victoria station London with the Carabao Cup (League Cup for me) they going around the country letting people have there picture taken with it and you also get a free can of energy drink aswell I made sure I had my Villa top on in the picture the man from the EFL said they would be coming to the Bull Ring in September.

With the lack of seriousness towards the League Cup by top flight clubs, Villa actually have a half decent chance to win it. I love the League Cup, some of my best Villa times have been seeing us win it.

Promotion and League Cup double, Villa back in Europe... you have to dream.

Sounds like 1974/5, I'd settle for that!

How have we not won a cup over the last decade. We've been so, so close. Truly overdue now.

Some clubs haven't kicked a ball in the competition yet. Two of those will be in the final.

We got 18,000 for the last tie, where ST holders were free and they still charge £15 a pop for this game. Far be it from me to challenge the pricing structure as I know sweet FA about running a football business, but I always wonder why the club doesn't use these types of games to put on offers that make the game attractive to families and youngsters, to get the ground filled up. For example, £5-£10 adults and £1 kids.

Something I've never enquired too deeply about and really should, but I do wonder how much pricing is down to the away team's demands and how much it's used as a convenient get out by the home side. Would Boro really complain to the authorities if we said we wanted to charge £5 across the board and £1 for kids?

They might fancy their chances more in front of a sparse crowd.

It's never worked for Blose.

Beautifully put away.

Just gone through the trauma that is the online ticket service to get my tickets. OMG what a nightmare. Tried to login via iPhone (unable to login due to multiple clients at this email address). Tried to call....40 minutes and no joy. So dust off the laptop via chrome. Sign in, ok. Select shortcut for existing season ticket holders, OK. Select tickets, error message, grrr. Donut of doom whirling for minutes and start again. Realise I have to go into the seating plan and change the ticket types from family to adult and child individually, then add them to basket. All that left is to see £2 added as they will post tickets but not add to my season ticket.

What allocation have Boro opted for? I wonder if their fans will prioritise the league or cup game.
