Middlesbrough vs West Brom: Weather forecast, ticket details and travel information
West Brom will be aiming to bounce back from their first league defeat of the season on Friday when they travel to take on Middlesbrough.

West Brom celebrated the 125th anniversary of The Hawthorns’ first ever game, but were left with frustration as they suffered their first setback of the campaign.
Ryan Mason’s men will be desperate to bounce back against Middlesbrough this weekend, and with that in mind, West Brom News rounds up everything that supporters need to know ahead of the clash.
Middlesbrough vs West Brom ticket information
Middlesbrough gave West Brom an initial allocation of 1,904 tickets, and a very limited number of them remain in the final days ahead of the clash.
Albion look set to be well-backed away from home once again, and any fans who have designs on purchasing a last-minute ticket and making the trip up to the North East should do so as quickly as possible.
The final few tickets are now open to general sale on the Baggies’ official website, with adult tickets priced at £32 each.
Fans will also be able to catch the clash on TV, with Sky Sports scheduled to show it on their Main Event and Football channels.
West Brom fans should expect a pleasant evening at Middlesbrough
The West Brom fans were hailed for their support in the win away at Stoke, and it looks set to be another sizeable following on Friday night.
Those who are making their way up to the Riverside Stadium look likely to be able to expect a pleasant evening, with the Met Office reporting temperatures of around 15 degrees Celsius while the game is underway.
Any Albion fans who are intending to arrive on Teesside early should be mindful of the fact that there is thought to be a 30 per cent chance of rain in the hours before kick-off.
However, the game itself looks likely to be unaffected, with the mild autumnal evening provided the perfect weather for football.
Travel information for the Riverside Stadium
Middlesbrough are familiar opponents for West Brom, as the duo have shared a division in each of the last five seasons.
However, for anyone making their first trip to the Riverside Stadium on Friday night, it is relatively easy to make the journey by car.
There are plenty of parking options available in the vicinity of the ground, including both paid and on-street options, the latter of which predominantly lie close to the turn off from the A66, and are around a 15-minute walk from the ground.
For any supporters who are travelling up on the train, the Riverside is around a 15-20 minute walk from the station on Albert Street.
