Supporters whose applications have been successful for tickets for Boro’s UEFA Cup tie away to Banik Ostrava should receive their tickets by the middle of this week, the club confirmed this morning.
Some 900 supporters will be celebrating when they receive the much sought-after tickets for the historic tie on Thursday September 30, but there will be disappointment for others.
Boro’s Communications Manager Dave Allan said: “As everyone is now aware, we received an allocation of just 900 tickets, which was hugely oversubscribed.
“Naturally, therefore, there will be many disappointed supporters. However, we trust they will understand that it was impossible for us to satisfy demand. Those supporters whose applications have not been successful will, of course, have their payment returned in full.
“It is our aim to send tickets by recorded delivery to all those whose applications have been successful by close of business on Tuesday. They will also be sent important safety and travel advice regarding their trip.
“We would again reiterate the advice from both Cleveland Police and the Football Association that, for reasons of safety, supporters who do not have a ticket should not travel to the Czech Republic.”
