Boro to Cover Travelling Fans' Shortfall - Ipswich Town News
Middlesbrough say they will make up fans' shortfall on the half-price tickets for the restaging of Saturday’s abandoned game against the Blues and are looking into organising free coach travel. A total of 730 Boro fans made the trip to Portman Road at the weekend.
Adding to the statement they made yesterday, Boro said: "Ipswich have already said supporters who attended the abandoned fixture will be entitled to a 50 per cent discount on tickets for the rescheduled game.
"Now Boro have vowed to make up the shortfall for the rearranged game for those fans who have retained their original ticket stub.
"In addition, the club are looking at ways to arrange free coach travel from Teesside for those made the original trip and wish to return to Portman Road.”
Town are set to make a statement later today having looked into their options.
