[Football] Playoff Boro v Villa

[Weststander]

On Sky, the first leg's just started.

It's been all Boro so far, pushing Villa back for territtorial advantage and high balls played into the Villa box.

Boro haven't the advantage of their 13th man The Complete And Utter Shyster today

Edit:
Villa score with header.

Never been happy to see 'Elbows' score before!

I've never warmed to Villa and their fans, but I'm on their side in this tie. The lesser of two evils.

Play off gates have been shit this year. 5,000 empty seats at Pride Park, only 14,000 for Charlton v Shrewsbury and now loads of empty seats for this one.

Why is this happening? Maybe they need to be made a bit fairer?

I don’t mind Villa, their fans were really good to us last year when we walked back to the car, it’s just Grealish who’s a bit of a tw@

Logically I should be supporting Boro, as they are more likely to struggle if they come up, but I dislike them enough to overcome that. Come on Villa.

I used to like Boro. Until their fans abuse of Brighton after that dubious win, which was a scummy act.

Yep, just about sums it all up.

Now I wish nothing but disaster on that club. Lower leagues and eventually the conference or whatever it's called now.

'brough are ****s, but Villa would be tougher opponents in the PL.

Derby fans probably think they have no chance, like we didn't in 2014. Charlton have their own problems. Boro have been in PL recently and always were abit flaky in terms of attendances.

Yes, this as well.

Lol they weren’t very plesent to ‘us’ in the ground ...but did I care no...they were only there for The Brighton

Villas goal is slightly ironic ..set piece against a Pullis side

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Anyone know why there are so many barriers at odd places in the Middlesbrough ground? Specially in their main singing stand behind the goal?

Tickets at Boro cost £30 odd for non-season ticket holders, in an area with great poverty and unemployment.

Derby fans are fed up with seeing repeats

Good player though.

Listening on radio they said there are 2k Villa fans there. Thought allocation would be more. What was ours?

If you mean the Mike Dean show, 3k from memory. It was originally 2500 but we got an extra 500.

Edit. Just checked, it was 2000 + 500.
