Following victories over Huddersfield Town, Bolton Wanderers, and Bradford City, Michael Carrick’s team will travel to St James Park to face the League One team for their League Cup last-16 match.
Following discussions with the Middlesbrough supporters’ forum, the club will provide a subsidy on each of the 960 allocated tickets for the match by £10 for adults, over-65s, and 18-23s and £5 for under-18s. The trip to Devon on October 31 takes place just days before Boro travels to Plymouth Argyle in the Championship.
Following the international break, a lot of long-distance travels will be taking place, and the club recognized the ‘amazing’ away support provided by Boro fans.
Having travels to Exeter and Plymouth Argyle in the same week, either side of journeys to Norwich City and Bristol City, a club official said: “Our away support is absolutely wonderful, so we wanted to be able to do something to try and encourage our traveling supporters.
Michael and the players, as well as all of us, are very appreciative of the support we get, and seeing so many of you at away games definitely helps.
When club football resumes, Carrick and his team will be hoping to maintain their outstanding run of victories, which included a stunning 4-0 victory over Sunderland, that included five straight victories in both league and cup competitions.
