There is going to be a boro meet up somewhete also. Should make it the same pub as Brigton's lol

Going to be very hard on the team and fans that miss out. But i am well used to disapointment following the boro.

We are at the casino in the main sports bar. Game confirmed as being on with sound. They charged us $400 for the privilege of eating and drinking in their bar but at least it's on. Expecting 80+ Albion fans there so it should be a reasonable atmosphere.

With Knockaert at BHA, you better hope you don't go to a penalty for the win.. :-)

 

With Nugent and De Laet at Boro I'm going for them, always liked Nuge.

Shouldn't you still be out celebrating and making fun of fans of the big 4/5?

Who do Wednesday want to avoid in the play offs, Brighton or Boro?

 

Anyway, going to be a capacity 34,500 attendance at the Riverside today.... not had that for a little while, it will be very loud and very intimidating.... it will be like no other trip Brighton has made to the Riverside. Boro fans can be the most fickle in the UK, I have openly admitted that, BUT on their day are one of the loudest and most passionate around.

 

Brighton are professional and will deal with it well, but it will surprise them initially I suspect.

Thanks Wendy.

 

It is for the town i want it so bad. The town has been kicked down so many times in recent years. The closure of the Steel works and all the job losses. Many companies associated with the Steel have gone, such high unemployment and everthing that goes with it.

 

Add the that the death of boro legend Ali Brownlee this year plus the pain of last years play off final defeat.

 

Some of my family will be there tonight and the club had ensured the steel workers who lost their jobs who want to be there will be.

 

No disrespect to Brigton, but this is our ******* time and raw emotion will be on show tonight.

The World Game has an article about the financial reward for getting promoted this year.

 

analysis from Deloitte's Sports Business Group showing an increase of $332 million (£170 million) across the next three seasons, which could rise to $567 million (£290 million) should the winning team survive their first season among the elite

Good luck boro - hope you guys do it. Boro are a proper northern club who I would want in the Prem.

[Smoggy]

20 mins to kick off, atmosphere already massive, nervous.............

 

 

C'MON BORO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lloydy136]

5500 lufc fans away at Preston in a meaningless game to cap off a pointless season. Loyalty.

[Smoggy]

BORO SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WERE ON OUR WAY   

[Jukes75]

Against the run of play but it's all about who scores. That was a very well taken free kick and finish.

[Smoggy]

45mins from the EPL!

[Jukes75]

Not excellent but a solid first half.

 

I thought BHA had the better run of the first 15 minutes or so of the first half but after the goal, it was all Boro.

 

I did think that Boro should have had at least 1 more goal, especially the volley. There were a couple of other good half chances but there was no composure with the last pass.

[Smoggy]

Southern biased media chunts!!!!!!!

 

Gaston has a massive chunk out of his leg and is on the oxygen!!!! And the commentators said he was milking it LOL 

 

Red all day long.

 

Dirty bastards.

If the ref doesn't see the gash on the leg then there's no send off, 
Lucky he saw it though, that challenge was terrible

[Jukes75]

That was a top header by Stephens to equalise but then he goes and rips open the leg of Gaston. Terrible!!!

 

It's Boro's to lose now.

Where/how are you watching this?

[Nnnnnathan12]

Edit: On a second though I'll spoiler that lol

 

Where/how are you watching this?

Bein sports, 
through the bein sports app on my phone because their website is terrible, 
thank god they're moving to foxtel

Skysports 1 live stream

[weeMan]

Boro had a lot of chances in the first half. Should have been well ahead at half time!

Feels like watching Wanderers butchering their chances...

[Jukes75]

I've got a spanish stream going. Top quality stream.

 

I don't understand a word of it but it's brilliant. When you hear them say Stephens as Stiffens, makes it even more worthwhile

[wendybr]

Thanks guys!

 

All the best with it Boro!!

[Smoggy]

This is killing me!!!!

[Nnnnnathan12]

Wow, now there's a controversy.

The ref was going to give him a yellow until the injured boro player knocked the yellow card on his leg and showed him his leg injury l

[Smoggy]

WE ARE ******* BACK           

 

Fan and flares on the pitch lol

[Jukes75]

Nail biting stuff in the end. Congrats.

[weeMan]

Well done Boro! Oh the tension...

[wendybr]

Great to hear Boro!!

[Smoggy]

 

Pitch invasion and also there were a good few flares............. and no children were harmed...... there will be no inquest or charges.. thank god for commonsense....

 

Good luck to Brighton in the play offs, been 3 clear quality teams this season, play offs are a lottery but Brighton stand a very good chance.
