Boro fans have already snapped up 3,700 tickets for the trip to Blackburn

Boro have already sold more than half of their 7,000 allocation for the trip to Blackburn later this month.

The Championship clash at Ewood Park is still three weeks away but 3,700 tickets have already been snapped up for the game on December 28.

Sell-out allocations on the road have been a regular occurrence this season but Boro are well on course to be backed by their biggest away following of the season at Blackburn.

Almost 5,000 fans packed into the away end at the DW Stadium last month, the latest in a string of superb showings of support from Boro's travelling faithful.

More than 3,500 roared Boro on to victory at Huddersfield earlier this season while the 2,600 allocation for the game at Rotherham sold out sharpish.

Tickets for the Blackburn game are priced at £26 for adults, £16 for Over-65s and students and £8 for those aged 16 and under.
