How far are you travelling to get to Middlesbrough's clash with Stoke City tomorrow?

Lifelong Boro fan Joe Robertson is making a 1,000-mile round trip in order to get to the Riverside.

Joe, 29, lives in the Norwegian capital of Oslo and works in medical research, so he hasn't been able to get to many games in the last few years.

"Man City away in the FA cup, January 2015, was the last game I got to," said Joe.

"I moved to Manchester in 2009, around the same time Boro played their first game in the Championship, and I spent five years there hoping we'd get one of the Manchester teams away in the Cup.

"It finally happened on my last ever weekend in Manchester! I couldn't get a seat in the away end so had to sit with Manchester City fans.

"It was pretty difficult to keep quiet when Kike scored that second goal in injury time!"

With Joe travelling so far to get over for his first home game in eight years, just how optimistic is he feeling about getting a result again Stoke?

"I think Stoke will do well this season, and I'm not sure our new players will gel straight away, so I'm predicting 1-1."
