Last year when Boro tickets went on sale, a large number of people didn't buy a ticket initially as they didn't want to travel if the game didn't mean anything. By the time it emerged that it was a HUGE game, many of those people then found that they couldn't get a ticket as they'd all been snapped up.

Today has brought news of a smaller than hoped for allocation at Villa Park, and some people concerned that they will not get a ticket.

There is a reasonable chance that we'll travel to Villa already promoted. Would you still want to go if promotion has been assured?

Last night was technically my last game of the season. I'm working abroad for most of April, and return home just before the Villa game. I have a 7 month old baby at home and it wouldn't be fair on my wife who has to be the sole carer whilst I am away (and I'm away alot).

If we were in a shootout for the title, I would consider/ try and convince her to go. If we were already promoted but couldn't win the title, I wouldn't be fussed.

If only to chant " Here for the Albion, you're only for the-already-promoted-better-than-you Albion"

Yes for sure. Be a brilliant day even if technically nothing to play for. The CC scenario will also make it all the sweeter if we won the title or something else was riding on the game and it went out way

Yes. Last away game of the season is always 1 of the best days out (apart from last season) with a party atmosphere.

I didn't fancy 'boro last year as I didn't want to travel that far only to face disappointment, although I would have gone if it wasn't for my kids.

This year is the opposite. If we were already promoted but couldn't win the title, I'd like to go to thank the players. Still won't though, 'cos of the kids.

Of course, let's get this party started and may it never end

Decided when the fixtures came out that I'd be going to Villa.

I so so so so so want to go

I have about 40 'loyalty' points though, but hope that somehow, somehow, I can get a pair of tickets for me and my girl to enjoy the atmosphere

I'll be buying regardless. If I knew 100% now the title or promotion would not be up for grabs then I probably wouldn't bother. But as it is I can't know that 100% so tickets will be bought and it will be a fun day out regardless

Yes, am devastated to be missing Norwich, QPR and Wolves as can't do Fridays at the moment. Would have done all three on Saturdays. So frustrating that none of them were late Saturday kickoffs rather than Friday. Having said that I probably won't quite have enough points because of this - 1147 at present.

EDIT
Not sure now. If Villa are going to be tight and offer only 2700 tickets then stuff them. I'm going to the beamback to spend my money. Even better, hope nothing is riding on the game and no-one goes.
Up yours Villa.

Absolutely.

However I am working that day and can't afford to take the day off. If there are still tickets available for those of us with less than 1100 loyalty points I may just buy one and to hell with work.
