Results are in ? yet it says vote closes at 17.00 but who gives a stuff he won easy, well deserved imho.

Chrisr · 10-01-2017, 16:36

I voted and he was on26% at the time, I think he will get it. Well deserved.

Knowing the BBC Sean will win the vote but it will still be a premiership player that wins it

AccyMad · 10-01-2017, 17:18

Good lad Sean, well deserved (another just like it at Boro now please)

thornabyred · 10-01-2017, 19:51

Hope a good few can make the trip over the tops to Boro.
I will stick some details of pubs, parking etc on here once dates confirmed.
Transpennine trains from Manchester,Leeds or York run into Boro every hour.

Just checked with trainline & the cheapest return fare is £37.70 and that's with a 30% railcard discount.
9.03 dep. Acc - arr. Boro 12.12, with 1 change at York. Or,
10.03 dep. Acc - arr. Boro 13.12
Return
18.27 dep. Boro - arr. Acc 21.20 (fastest journey time 2hr 53min)
Looks like the coach will be the cheapest option.
Wonder if we'll get subsidised coach travel, a la Wycombe?

Lord Stiffupperlip · 10-01-2017, 22:47

Just discovered if you book separate tickets from Acc - York return + York- Boro return, it reduces the cost to around £32

That's usually how it works with trains once you get beyond a day return ticket.

Sometimes it's more obscure for example my tickets would be Dumfries to Seaham then Seaham to Middlesbrough.

Any match details yet?
Confirmed date and time?

Osc coach is £20 - not bad at all

Mr T · 11-01-2017, 08:08

Nothing can be confirmed until the 5 live TV games are picked. FA are expecting this to be "this week"

MikeA · 11-01-2017, 09:43

Interesting article in the Telegraph about which games will/should be televised:
The five FA Cup fourth-round ties that should be on TV, and the five we think will be picked

It seems there are five altogether. Despite, possibly, being the lowest placed side left, we don't even get a mention!

Chrisr · 11-01-2017, 10:04

The local press give us the minimum publicity they can and usually none.

The article's from the Daily Telegraph! But still none.

True, in particular the LT - although they did go with a 'story' about the team's toaster being nicked from the changing rooms last week. Way to reinforce the tinpot label!
Shame they don't print our match reports as quick
