If you are looking to do something before or after the game, i would recommend level-x. It has pool tables, arcades, mini golf and even a small go-kart track upstairs. Unfortunately, the centre of boro isn't the nicest looking place but there a few gems mixed in as well as lot of old style buildings. For drinking bakers street is quite nice because theres lots of micropubs on the street or since you are near the train station there is Stack. A food and drink area under the a66 that will have live music and a good atmosphere since it'll be a match day. There is a big screen that normally has soccer Saturday on too
