The days of queueing outside a freezing Riverside Stadium are over.

Middlesbrough announced that tickets for the away game with West Brom at the Hawthorns will go on sale to season card holders on Tuesday morning.

But you won't be able to queue outside the Riverside to bag one of the 2,777 allocated tickets.

As with tickets for Sunday's trip to Sunderland, it's an online and telephone sale only. And Boro have confirmed that this method is now a permanent arrangement.

"Selling away tickets online only has been the preferred choice for a lot of clubs over the past few year", said a spokesman for the club.

"And we opted to pilot this method last season for our final few away games.

"Selling online only also ensures fans don't have the inconvenience of having to travel to the Riverside to purchase tickets for our away matches."
