Boro fans 'will be ejected' from Rotherham United stadium if found in home end


Rotherham United have warned that any Boro fans found in home areas of the stadium during next weekend’s Sky Bet Championship encounter will be ejected.


Boro fans snapped up all 2,600 tickets for the team’s first-ever competitive trip to the New York Stadium 24 hours before they were due to go on general sale.


The match was chosen in a pre-season GazetteLive poll as the clash fans were most looking forward to.


With season ticket holders and Boro Pride members getting their hands on all available tickets, hundreds of fans were left disappointed by the sell-out.


And today Rotherham United have warned their own fans against buying tickets in the home end for away supporters.


A statement on the club’s website said: “Away fans found in home areas will be ejected from the stadium for breaching Ground Regulations.


“Any home fans purchasing tickets in the home areas of the stadium for away supporters may face further action from Rotherham United Football Club.


“The club will be communicating with Middlesbrough FC to cross-reference any supporters suspected to have purchased tickets in the home end who are away supporters.


“The club would like to thank supporters for their understanding and co-operation and we hope everyone has a pleasant and enjoyable afternoon.”
