Evidence please. Boro sold 9,500 tickets in a day for the game tonight. On the other side of the country for a night game. At £45 (not checked). meanwhile City fans sold out 50k seats two weeks before KO for a game against a Championship side. And this is the FA Cup. A competition that is now considered 3rd priority.I don't think they would get bored. The NBA , NFL and Superbowl says otherwise.
The kids are bored about Bayern vs Hoffenheim or City vs Burnley. If u don't give them big matches , they will watch Netflix or play a game. They are that spoiled
I would reassess
