Key matchday information

This fixture will be used to commemorate Middlesbrough’s 150th anniversary and, as a result, there will be a variety of pre-match activities, including flames and pyrotechnics. We ask supporters to be mindful of this when attending and to be aware that there will be increased activity around the Riverside Stadium before kick-off.

Wolves have also been advised by Middlesbrough that, for supporters travelling by coach, there will be a supporter-led fan march from the town centre to the stadium, which has been arranged independently.

While the march is expected to be peaceful, it is likely to involve several thousand supporters. As a result, roads around the stadium will close from approximately 1.15pm. Due to the anticipated volume of supporters, away coaches will be unable to enter the restricted zone or park between 1.15pm and 2pm.
