Prices Cut Again As Middlesbrough Welcome New Boss

Just weeks after the successful 'Spirit of Teesside' event drew a season's best crowd of nearly 22,000 to the Riverside Stadium for Middlesbrough's game against Doncaster Rovers, the club are repeating their cut-price ticket offer for the visit of Bolton Wanderers on Saturday 30 November.

Adult tickets will cost £12 and concessions £7 in a move that is timed to coincide with the first home game in charge of new manager Aitor Karanka.

Head of supporter services Anthony Emmerson said: “Aitor has made it clear how delighted he is to be here and now it’s our turn to show how happy we are to have him.

“We’re hoping our fans will take advantage of this offer and get behind Aitor and the players to give him a really warm welcome as he looks to begin his home reign with a win.

“We know we can count on our loyal supporters to give the team fantastic support, but we hope this offer will also encourage those who haven’t attended games in recent years to come back and be part of what we believe is an exciting future for the club.”

It is quite unusual for an offer such as this to be repeated so soon and I imagine season ticket holders may have one or two grumbles but Boro have a big stadium to fill and if they can generate another good atmosphere and result like the 4-0 win over Doncaster then it will have been well worth it.
