Show Notes
Owner Steve Lansdown elected to use his private jet and fly in to watch this one. There were some amongst the fanbase thinking a heavy defeat against 2nd placed Boro might see Struber sacked for poor form and his media mutterings about lack of investment.
What the fans were treated to was a spirited performance from the team that showed their Austrian boss has not lost the dressing room and they themselves are not on the beach with nothing left to play for.
When Adam Randell's power header drew City level in the final minute of time added on it was no more than they deserved even if they had to thank Vitek for producing some fine saves and along with poor finishing from an unusually subdued Boro side.
With season tickets for 26/27 going on sale very soon how do the board sell what there true intentions really are.
