Mackems Rip Of Derby Opponents With Tickets!

Middlesbrough have been ripped off with their allocation of tickets for the Capital One Cup tie against local rivals Sunderland later this month.

Boro have been limited to just 2,800 tickets for the fixture when they should be entitled to 15% of the stadium capacity under Football League rules.

But the Mackems say it is an issue of ground safety.

Boro's Chief Executive Neil Bausor: "We are extremely disappointed with the decision.

"We had hoped that Sunderland, after reviewing their risk assessment, would have made a larger allocation available to our fans.

"But they concluded after that review that they could not safely manage more than 2,800 Middlesbrough fans in the Stadium of Light.

"Our aim has been to give as many of our supporters as possible the opportunity to see this eagerly anticipated cup tie.

"We know it is something our fans feel passionately about.

"However, the League has had to accept the request of Sunderland AFC to give us a reduced allocation and, regrettably, we have had to accept it too."
