Boro to Seek Clarification - Ipswich Town News

Middlesbrough are to seek clarification regarding the arrangements for the rescheduling of Saturday’s abandoned game against the Blues at Portman Road. Soon after the match was brought to an early close by referee Dean Whitestone, Town announced that there would be no refunds but those with matchday tickets will be able to purchase seats for the rerun at 50% the usual price, as per Football League regulations.

Middlesbrough chief operating officer Neil Bausor said: "The tremendous support our travelling fans give us is one of the factors behind the team's excellent away form this season.

"The club, the manager and the players all very much appreciate the fantastic backing they give us and the considerable sacrifices they make in terms of their time and their hard-earned money in order to do so.

"We also share their disappointment at the game being abandoned at an early stage after they had made such a long journey to be at Ipswich on Saturday.

"We recognise there are very strong feelings from our own fans and also Ipswich Town supporters about this issue.

"We're aware of the initial communication from Ipswich regarding pricing arrangements for the rescheduled game. However, we're seeking clarification of exactly what the final arrangements will be.”
