Chris Wilder has hailed the commitments of Boro’s travelling support as the Teessiders prepare for a long trip to Bristol City.
Storm Eunice has arrived in parts of the UK, bringing strong winds that could disrupt travel plans across the country.
More than 1,800 Boro fans are set to make the journey to the south west, and the Boro manager hopes to reward them with another memorable away day.
“There’s no doubt about it, the attitude of football fans is what makes them the best,” Wilder said.
“You don’t want to miss out when things are going well and it’s brilliant to see.
“We saw it at Old Trafford, QPR, we do appreciate it and the onus is on us to go and produce another committed performance.
“However the fans get done there, by hook or by crook, hopefully we can reward it with a good result.”
As for Boro’s own travel arrangements, the Boro boss hopes they won’t be disrupted this afternoon - but says plans are in place to ensure his squad arrive ready to put in a performance.
“Hopefully we can fly, the club have been fabulous in those sorts of things to give us the best preparation for what will be another tough afternoon in terms of the football match.
“But we do have contingency plans and there will be no excuses come Saturday afternoon.”
