Boro are almost certain to be backed by their second biggest following of the season when they take on champions Manchester City at the Etihad.
And they won’t be paying over the odds for the privilege of seeing their heroes in FA Cup fourth round action on Saturday, January 24.
City are charging adult Boro supporters just £15 to watch the tie from the lower tier of the stadium’s South Stand and £17.50 from the upper level.
Only Oldham have charged supporters less for a competitive Boro game this season, pegging prices at just £10 for August’s Capital One first round tie at Boundary Park.
Season card holders paid £15 to watch the FA Cup third round clash with Barnsley at Oakwell, but non-season card holders had to shell out £20.
So City’s prices are the second cheapest for non-season card holders so far this season.
It’s fair to say Boro would sell their allocation for the fourth round tie had tickets cost twice as much.
The club’s support away from home has been nothing short of sensational and the City match is a mightily tempting trip for fans who’ve endured five and a half seasons of Championship destinations.
Boro’s biggest backing so far on the road is the 6,988 turnout at Blackburn on December 28.
The Etihad allocation of 5,423 will jump into the charts at No2 with a bullet if, as expected, they all sell out, with the 4,893 that attended the Wigan game pushed down to third.
