Middlesbrough Football Club (/ˈmɪdəlzbrə/ MID-əlz-brə) is a professionalassociation football club based inMiddlesbrough,North Yorkshire. They compete in theEFL Championship, the second level of theEnglish football league system. Nicknamed the Boro, they were formed in 1876 and are the 11tholdest football league club in England and Wales. The club have played at theRiverside Stadium since 1995,[1] having previously played atAyresome Park for 92 years, from 1903 to 1995.

Middlesbrough were one of the founding members of thePremier League in 1992, and have spent all but two seasons of their entire history as a professional club competing within the top two tiers of English football.[2] Their highest league finish to date was third place in the top flight in the1913–14 season. The outbreak of theFirst World War stunted their push for a first top division title, though the club pushed again during the inter-war years, finishing fourth in the1938–39 season before theSecond World War halted the English leagues and again prevented a push for a first title. The club came within minutes of folding in 1986 before they were saved by aconsortium led by board member and later chairmanSteve Gibson.[3] A remarkablerecovery saw the club immediately earn back to back promotions to the top division in the1986–87 and1987–88 seasons. The club were runners-up in theFA Cup andLeague Cup in 1997[4][5] while also being relegated following a controversial 3-point deduction,[6] and losing another League Cupfinal the following season. UnderSteve McClaren, the club won the League Cup in2004, its first major silverware, and reached the2006 UEFA Cup final. The club has played one Premier League season since relegation in 2009.

Middlesbrough is the only major professional football club in the greaterTeesside area (the 14th biggesturban area in England), theTees Valley, and the county ofNorth Yorkshire (the largest county in England by area[7]). The club has regional rivalries with the two closest major clubs,Newcastle United (theTyne–Tees derby) andSunderland (theTees–Wear derby).[8]

The club's traditional kit is red with white detailing, often in the form of a white chest band. The home shorts and sock colours have interchangeably been shifted between red and white, complementing the red shirt that was adopted in 1899.[9] The various crests throughout the club's history, the most recent of which was adopted in 2007,[10] incorporate a lion rampant.

Formation and early years (1876–1914)

[edit]
Chart showing the progress of Middlesbrough's league finishes since the 1899–1900 season

Middlesbrough were formed in 1876, and won theFA Amateur Cup in 1895 and again in 1898. The club turned professional in 1889, but reverted to amateur status in 1892.[2] They turned professional permanently in 1899.[11] After three seasons, they won promotion to theFirst Division, where they would remain for the next22 years.[2]

In 1903, the club moved toAyresome Park, their home for the next92 years. In 1905, the club sanctioned the transfer ofAlf Common for£1,000, a record fee.[12] In the same year,Tim Williamson became the first Middlesbrough player to play international football.[13]

Over these early years in the top flight, their form fluctuated greatly, rising to sixth in1907–08[14] before dropping to 17th two seasons later.[15] The club rose to their highest league finish to date, third, in1913–14.[13] TheFirst World War soon intervened, and football was suspended.

Ups and downs (1914–1966)

[edit]

Before league football resumed, Middlesbrough won the Northern Victory League,[16] but the team were unable to maintain their previous form and finished the1919–20 season in mid-table. They remained in the First Division for the next few seasons, but were relegated in1923–24 after finishing bottom, 10 points adrift of their nearest rivals.[failed verification][17] Three seasons later, they won theDivision Two title. During that season, debutantGeorge Camsell, who had signed fromThird Division North side Durham City the previous season, finished with a record 59 league goals, which included nine hat-tricks. He would continue as top scorer for each of the next 10 seasons.[18] Middlesbrough's tenure back in the top flight lasted only one season, and the club were relegated.[16] They were promoted at the first attempt in1928–29, winning another Second Division title.[16] The club remained in the First Division until 1954.

George Hardwick, a Middlesbrough and England player, later a manager and coach

The decade before theSecond World War saw the emergence ofWilf Mannion andGeorge Hardwick, both of whom would go on to becomeEngland internationals in the years ahead.[citation needed] Middlesbrough climbed to fourth in the last full season before the war, and were expected to challenge for the title the following season, but the war intervened.[2] After the war, the club was unable to recover the form of the previous seasons before the war, hovering around mid-table and exiting in the early rounds of theFA Cup. Soon after the war, the team began to falter, and were relegated in1953–54. This was the start of a 20-year spell outside the top division, but this was the spell too that saw the emergence of one of the club's top goalscorers,Brian Clough, who scored 204 goals in 222 games, before he left forSunderland.[19]

On 6 May 1950 Middlesbrough were represented by a Black player for the first time, Jamaican-bornLindy Delapenha making his debut in an away game against Fulham on that date. In total he went on to make 270 appearances, scoring 92 goals, before he left forMansfield Town after the 1957–58 season.[20] Over that period, Middlesbrough maintained reasonable progress in the Second Division, but were never serious contenders for promotion. After a fourth-place finish in1962–63, the club endured a steady decline and were relegated to theThird Division for the first time in their history in 1966.[16]

Resurgence, 'Charlton's Champions', and financial crisis (1966–1994)

[edit]

New managerStan Anderson returned the club to the second flight at the first attempt.[2] Middlesbrough would not finish below ninth during the next six seasons in the Second Division, finishing 4th (just outside the top three promotion winning places at the time) on three of those occasions.[2]

In 1973,Jack Charlton took over as manager and guided the team back to the top flight. A team led on the pitch byWillie Maddren andBobby Murdoch, and including a youngGraeme Souness, ensured promotion as early as 23 March 1974, and with eight games of the season left, they became runaway champions, finishing with a league record 65 points (based on the 2 points for a win format).[failed verification][2][21] After a very promising start to their first campaign back in the first divisionBob Paisley, manager of eventual runners up Liverpool, tipped Middlesbrough as favourites to win the league, however they ultimately fell short finishing seventh. Middlesbrough won their first silverware as a professional side inthe 1975–76 season, lifting theAnglo-Scottish Cup in its inaugural season after a two-legged final win overFulham.[21][22]

In 1979,John Neal made the club's first international signing, withBoško Janković arriving fromŽeljezničar Sarajevo.[2]

The club experienced severe financial difficulties during the mid-1980s.[23] Middlesbrough were dropping down the table, and finished 19th in the1984–85 season.[16] In April 1986, the club had to borrow £30,000 from theProfessional Footballers' Association (PFA) to pay wages.[2] The final game of the season saw Middlesbrough relegated to the Third Division again.[2] That summer, the club called in theProvisional Liquidator, and, shortly afterwards, the club was wound up and the gates to Ayresome Park were padlocked.[2] Without the £350,000 capital required forFootball League registration, a new rule, the club risked folding permanently.[24]Steve Gibson, however, a member of the board at the time, brought together a consortium, and with 10 minutes to spare before the deadline they completed their registration with the Football League for the1986–87 season.[25] Following the registration came both a change of club crest and a change of the official company name to Middlesbrough Football and Athletic Club (1986) Ltd.[failed verification][26]

Over the next two seasons, Middlesbrough gained successive promotions into Division Two and then into Division One,[16] the latter being the first and only time a second-tier sidedirectly relegated a first tier side through theEnglish Football League play-offs. The next season however, they came straight back down to Division Two, and with it came the then British transfer record move ofGary Pallister toManchester United for £2.3 million.[27] Following promotion again, Middlesbrough became one of the founding members of theFA Premier League when it was launched in the1992–93 season.[3]

Bryan Robson years (1994–2001)

[edit]

Player-managerBryan Robson, from Manchester United, took charge in 1994.[28] Following promotion to the Premier League Middlesbrough made high-profile purchases like Brazilian internationalJuninho[3] and previous season'sChampions League final goalscorer and Italian internationalFabrizio Ravanelli. A difficult1996–97 season, however, was compounded by a deduction of three points imposed just after Christmas as punishment for the club's failure to fulfil a fixture againstBlackburn Rovers, which ultimately resulted in relegation.[29] Without the points deduction imposed by the FA Premier League despite the club having taken advice from the Premier League themselves prior to calling off the match, the club would have had enough points to avoid the drop.[citation needed] At the same time, the club reached both theLeague andFA Cup finals for the first time, but lost both games. Despite being in the second tier, they were again runners-up in theLeague Cup final the next year.[26]

Despite losing high-profile players Ravanelli and Juninho due to relegation, Middlesbrough were promoted back to the Premier League at the first attempt, in 1998. The following season saw them settle well and they had a 12-game unbeaten run midway through1998–99, including a 3–2 win atOld Trafford in January during which they took a 3–0 lead; it was Manchester United's only home defeat during theirtreble-winningseason. Middlesbrough continued to stay secure in mid-table the following season, due mainly to the goals ofHamilton Ricard and the signings of prominent players such asPaul Ince andChristian Ziege. In2000–01, they had a brief relegation scare that was solved with the arrival ofTerry Venables as co-manager, and a 3–0 win away atArsenal in April was the team's best result. The trend of buying high profile European-based players continued with the acquisitions ofChristian Karembeu andAlen Bokšić. Bryan Robson left the club before the start of2001–02 season, having served as manager for seven years.[30]

Venture into Europe (2001–2009)

[edit]
The2004 League Cup final at theMillennium Stadium

After Venables decided not to take on the role of full time manager, in June 2001 Manchester United assistant coachSteve McClaren was appointed to replace Robson.[31]

In his first season, McClaren led Middlesbrough to a respectable 12th place league finish and an FA Cup semi final, narrowly losing 1–0 to Arsenal. A slight improvement in the league saw the club finish 11th the following season. The2003–04 season saw the club again finish 11th in the league, but much more significantly win a first major trophy by beatingBolton Wanderers 2–1 in theLeague Cup final.[32] The League Cup win also ensured that Middlesbrough would qualify for Europe – theUEFA Cup – for the first time – the following season, where they reached thelast 16 of the competition.[33][34] UEFA Cup qualification was achieved for thesecond consecutive year after a 1–1 away draw withManchester City on the final game of the season. The match concluded with a dramatic last minute late penalty save by goalkeeperMark Schwarzer which saw Middlesbrough finish above City in 7th place and qualify for Europe again.[35]

Middlesbrough enjoyed one of its most successful cup campaigns to date in the2005–2006 season. Domestically the club reached the League Cup quarter final and the FA Cup semi final, losing out to a late goal in a 1–0 loss toWest Ham atVilla Park. The club also reached the2006 UEFA Cup final following two miraculous last minute comebacks from 3–0 down on aggregate in the quarter and semi finals againstFC Basel andSteaua Bucharest respectively,[36][37] however ultimately fell short losing 4–0 toSevilla in the final inEindhoven.[38] McClaren's teams featured local youth players such asStewart Downing,Adam Johnson andJames Morrison[39] as well as experienced international players such as forward trioYakubu,Mark Viduka andJimmy Floyd Hasselbaink,[40] and midfielderGaizka Mendieta. Middlesbrough fielded the youngest starting 11 (average age 20) in the final Premier League game in the 2005–06 season, againstFulham. Nine players were teenagers – all English – and two more came on as substitutes.[41]

Following the European Cup final loss, McClaren left to manage theEngland national team, and captainGareth Southgate took over as manager. Despite not having the coaching qualifications, he was allowed by the Premier League board to continue after receiving special dispensation.[42] Southgate led the club to a 12th-placed finish and an FA Cup quarter final in hisfirst season as manager. In the subsequent2007–2008 season, Middlesbrough again made theFA Cup quarter final, but despite being 2nd favourites to win the cup ahead of their quarter final home tie to Championship sideCardiff City, Middlesbrough lost the tie and eventually finished 13th in the league, beating Manchester City 8–1 on the final day.

In January 2008, the club broke its record transfer fee, paying £13.6 million forBrazilian international strikerAfonso Alves.[43] The club was relegated to theChampionship at the end of the2008–09 season[44] in 19th place.

Decline, brief revival and relegation (2009–2017)

[edit]

Middlesbrough sackedGareth Southgate as manager in October 2009, when Southgate's team were one point from leading the Championship, and replaced him withGordon Strachan.[45] At the time of Southgate's dismissal, Boro were fourth in the Championship but their form under Strachan declined and they finished mid-table.[46][47] On 18 October 2010, Strachan resigned and was later replaced byTony Mowbray.[48][49] Following a poor run of form at the start of the2013–14 campaign, Mowbray left the club with immediate effect on 21 October.[50]

Aitor Karanka, a former assistant coach atReal Madrid toJosé Mourinho, became the new Middlesbrough manager.[51] He became the first non-British manager at the club,[51] and led Boro to a 12th-place finish.[52] In Karanka's first full season in charge, Middlesbrough finished fourth and thus qualified for the2015 Football League play-offs.[citation needed] After defeatingBrentford 5–1 on aggregate in the semi-final, the club lost 2–0 toNorwich City atWembley Stadium in thefinal.[53][54] The following2015–16 season ended in dramatic fashion. The final match of the ordinary season was a head to head between 2nd placed Boro and 3rd placedBrighton & Hove Albion at The Riverside. Boro required 1 point from the match to finish above Brighton in second place and secure automatic promotion. After taking a first half lead, they were pegged back, but ultimately held on for the draw, securing promotion back to the Premier League.[55]

Middlesbrough dismissed Karanka in March 2017 following a poor run of form, and the team were relegated in 19th place, after just one season back in the top flight. The team won only 5 league games, and scored 27 goals, the lowest in the league.[additional citation(s) needed][failed verification][56]

Return to the Championship (2017–present)

[edit]

The club appointed formerLeeds United managerGarry Monk as manager in the off-season. Expectations at the club were high, having spent close to £50 million in the transfer window on player purchases, in order to mount an immediate promotion challenge back to the Premier League.[57] Monk left in December, with Middlesbrough ninth in the Championship,[58][59] andTony Pulis was appointed as his replacement.[60] Pulis led the side to finish 5th in the table, however, they lost in the play-off semi-finals to Aston Villa.[61][52] In thefollowing season, a poor finish to the season caused them to finish 7th and miss out on the play-offs by one point.[62]

When Pulis's contract was not extended,[63] he was replaced by former Middlesbrough defender and first team coach,Jonathan Woodgate on 14 June 2019 on a three-year contract.[64] Woodgate was sacked with the club only outside of the relegation zone on goal difference with eight games left of the 2019–20 season,[65] andNeil Warnock was appointed as his replacement on the same day.[66] Warnock ensured survival from relegation, securing safety on the final day of the season and a 17th-place finish.[52][67] On 6 November 2021, Middlesbrough parted company with Warnock, who was replaced byChris Wilder the following day.[68][69] After 11 months in charge, Wilder was sacked with the club in 22nd position.[70]

Former Manchester United midfielderMichael Carrick was appointed as his successor and led Boro to a fourth-place finish, but lost in the play-off semi-finals against Coventry City.[71][72][73] On 26 May 2023, the club officially became affiliated with the women's team.[74] In the2023–24 season, Middlesbrough reached the semi-finals of the League Cup for the first time since 2004.[75] Despite defeating Chelsea in the first leg, Middlesbrough lost 6–2 on aggregate.[76] Carrick was dismissed in June 2025 withRob Edwards replacing him.[77] However, after a promising start to the season that saw the club enter the automatic promotion spaces, Edwards suddenly left in November 2025 to take theWolverhampton Wanderers job, just 3 months into the season.

On 24th November 2025Kim Hellberg was named as the successor toRob Edwards[78]

Colours and crest

Middlesbrough's original home kit upon election to the Football League in 1899 was a white home shirt with red shorts, and they did not adopt their colours of blue and white until later that season.[failed verification][80] Previous kits included a white shirt with a red and whitepolka dotted collar from around 1889.[failed verification][80] The Middlesbrough kit has remained broadly the same since 1899; a red shirt with white detailing, with shorts and socks of either red or white.[citation needed] The distinctive broad white stripe across the chest was introduced by Jack Charlton in 1973 (following an attempt to change the home shirt to a Leeds United-style white shirt), and brought back for a one-off in 1997–98, and, then again, for the 2000–01 and 2004–05 seasons due to popular demand.[failed verification][81] The club subsequently announced in December 2007 that the club would allow fans to decide via an online and text vote whether the white band should return for thefollowing season.[additional citation(s) needed][81] On 8 January 2008, the club announced that, with 77.4% of voters voting in its favour, the white band would return to the home kit, and that fans would choose the final shirt appearance from a selection of three designs,[additional citation(s) needed][82] of which the winner was announced on 7 May 2008.[83]

The Middlesbrough crest has gone through four changes since the formation of the club. Initially, the badge was simply the town of Middlesbrough's crest with a red lion instead of a blue lion in order to fit in with the club's colours.[citation needed] Following the adoption of the white band on the shirts in 1973, only the red lion remained with the letters "M.F.C" underneath in red.[citation needed] This was further adapted following the reformation of the club in 1986 to a circular crest with the lion in the middle and the words "Middlesbrough Football Club 1986" around the circle in order to reflect this new era.[failed verification] In 2007, Middlesbrough changed their crest again, this time with the lion inside a shield and the words "Middlesbrough Football Club 1876" underneath.[failed verification][10] The club's chairman Steve Gibson stated that the intention was to reflect the club's long history and not just their post-liquidation status.[10]

Kit information

[edit]
Middlesbrough shirts, 1994–2010

Middlesbrough's first sponsor in 1980 wasDatsun Cleveland on a two-year deal. Further two-year deals continued until Dickens was the sponsor for the 1994–95 season only. From 1995 to 2002, the club was sponsored by mobile phone serviceCellnet, followed by two years with mobile retailerDial-a-Phone. Online casino888.com (2004–07) and satellite navigation companyGarmin (2007–10) followed. In 2010–11, the club had several temporary sponsors including pawnbrokers Ramsdens, who then became permanent sponsors and signed a five-year deal in 2013. At its end,32Red became the sponsors.[failed verification][84] Early in Ramsdens' sponsorship in March 2011, the company ceded its advertising space toMarie Curie Cancer Care for two games.[85]

Italian manufacturersErreà made Middlesbrough's kits from 1994 to 2009, when the role was taken up byAdidas, who had previously made the kits from 1979 to 1983.[failed verification][86] Danish companyHummel, which had made the kits from 1984 to 1987 during the club's winding up and rebirth, secured the contract again in 2018.[87] Erreà returned in 2022.[88]

Stadiums

[edit]

Main articles:Ayresome Park andRiverside Stadium

After formation in 1876, and with the club still amateurs, Middlesbrough's first two years of football were played atAlbert Park in Middlesbrough. After seeing the damage being caused by players and supporters,[vague] the Park Committee ordered the club to find an alternate venue. The club moved to Breckon Hill, behind the formerMiddlesbrough College longlands site, after agreeing to rent the land from its owner. However, two years later in 1880, the owner increased the rent and the club decided to move. They moved into theLinthorpe Road ground in 1882, home at the time ofMiddlesbrough Cricket Club. The cricket club departed in 1893–94 to move to the Breckon Hill field, and Middlesbrough Football Club became sole users of the ground.[91]

With the club's growing size, and entry tothe Football League, they had to move to a new ground in 1903,Ayresome Park.[3] It was designed byArchibald Leitch and would be the club's home for the next 92 years, having also been chosen as one of the stadia for the1966 FIFA World Cup. Following theTaylor Report in 1990, the ground either needed modernising or the club needed a new stadium.[failed verification] The club decided on the latter, and moved out at the end of the 1994–95 season. Ayresome Park was used as a training ground during 1995–96, before it was demolished in 1997 and a housing estate built in its place.[failed verification][91] Since the 1990s, the club trains at a £7 million complex atRockliffe Park, inHurworth, on the outskirts ofDarlington.[92]

TheRiverside Stadium, named by the supporters of the club after a vote, became the club's home in 1995. It was the first stadium to be built in line with the Taylor Report's recommendations on all-seater stadiums for clubs in the top two divisions of theEnglish football league system.[93] It was originally a 30,000-seater stadium, constructed at a cost of £16 million,[1] before it was expanded in 1998 to a capacity of 35,100 for an extra £5 million.[failed verification][1]

Since then, several reorganisations of the Riverside Stadium have taken place. At the start of the 2013–14 season, away fans were moved from behind the goal in the South stand to the South East corner, while home fans were situated behind both goals to help create a better atmosphere inside the stadium. A giant TV screen was also installed at the back of the South-East corner, replacing the older style scoreboards attached to the North and South stand roofs.[failed verification][94] For the start of the2016–17 season (and a return to the Premier League), the club had to improve the stadium's broadcasting facilities and floodlighting in order to meet Premier League requirements.[clarification needed] The club also took this opportunity to move the main camera gantry to the back of the East stand, so that it faced the main West stand.[failed verification] As of the 2017–18 season, the stadium capacity is 34,742.[failed verification][95]

Supporters

[edit]

Middlesbrough's average historic attendance is the 16th highest of all the clubs in England and Wales.[96]

Traditionally, supporters come from Middlesbrough itself and towns in the immediate area.[citation needed] As of May 2001, Middlesbrough had one of the highest proportions in Britain of locally-born season ticket holders at 80%, and one of the highest proportions of female fans at 20%.[failed verification][97] A survey at the start of the 2007–08 season found Middlesbrough supporters were the seventh-loudest set of fans in the Premier League.[98] Middlesbrough Official Supporters Club, which features its own team in the local football league,[failed verification][99] has links with supporters' clubs across the globe. The largest supporters' clubs include the Official Supporters' Club, the Middlesbrough Disabled Supporters' Association, Yarm Reds, Red Faction and Middlesbrough Supporters South.[failed verification][99]

For Middlesbrough supporters, their main rivals areNewcastle United (with whom they contest theTyne–Tees derby), followed bySunderland (with whom they contest theTees–Wear derby), and also, according to a planetfootball.com's 2004 survey,Leeds United.[8]

The nicknameSmoggies was first used as a derogatory term by opposing supporters;[improper synthesis?][100] it relates to the industrial air pollution – smog – that used to hang over the town, but it was later used by Middlesbrough fans in a somewhat self-deprecating manner, before finally being adopted as a badge of pride by supporters of the club.[vague][citation needed] An example of this can be seen on the banners carried to away games stating "Smoggies on Tour".[failed verification][101] Middlesbrough fans received praise fromUEFA Chief ExecutiveLars-Christer Olsson after their behaviour during the2005–06 UEFA Cup campaign.[102] He commented that:

You have the satisfaction of knowing that, although your team did not win the game, your supporters present in Eindhoven proved to the world that football fans can turn a match into a friendly, violence-free celebration.

Middlesbrough fans also received praise fromCleveland Police for their behaviour in previous rounds, particularly in the light of aggravation prior to and during the match atRoma.[103]

Media relations

[edit]

Middlesbrough was the first football club in the world to launch its own TV channel – Boro TV. The first broadcasts were tied to the club's first ever major cup final appearance in 1997, a full year ahead of Manchester United's MUTV, which still claims to be the first in the world.[clarification needed] The channel was the brainchild of then NTL marketing director, Peter Wilcock.[failed verification] The programme became synonymous with former Middlesbrough player Bernie Slaven and radio commentator Alastair Brownlee, who proved to be as popular on TV as they were on radio.[improper synthesis?][104] Its programmes were not live initially but were pre-recorded and hosted by local radio/TV broadcaster & Boro fan,Dave Roberts.[citation needed] In August 2001, Boro TV claimed another first when it became the first English football club to broadcast time-delayed full-match footage of their league games on its own channel.[clarification needed][105] Boro TV ran throughNTL cable television until July 2005.[106] The club then began to show match highlights through a subscription-based scheme on its official website.[107]

Middlesbrough's officialmatchday programme,Redsquare, wasProgramme Monthly's 2006–07 Programme of the Year.[108] There are numerous otherfanzines available, most notablyFly Me to the Moon, formed in September 1988 followingBruce Rioch's quote toTony Mowbray, stating "If I had to go to themoon I'd want him by my side".[109] In 2025, it became the football fanzine with the most issues, overtaking previous record holdersOatcake from Stoke, which stopped printing in 2019.[110]

Community

[edit]

Middlesbrough Football Club in the Community (MFCIC) was founded in 1996 by club chairmanSteve Gibson[failed verification][111] and is one of the largest community-based football schemes in the United Kingdom.[non-primary source needed][112] It is run separately from the football club, but receives support from both the club in terms of providing players, staff, stadium facilities andPR for articles in the matchday programme and other publications, as well as support from other local organisations.[113] In 2012, MFCIC was relaunched as MFC Foundation.[citation needed] The Foundation aims to use the club's profile to deliver sport, health, education and inclusion projects in vulnerable and disadvantaged communities across Teesside.[citation needed] Since 1996, the Foundation has delivered 20,000 qualifications, engaged over 500,000 people and invested £25 million in local communities to tackle inequality and disadvantage.

Since 2002, the club and MFCIC have also run the Middlesbrough Enterprise Academy, a scheme which helps local children. In March 2008, plans were announced by the Premier League to roll out the scheme nationally amongst all Premier League clubs.[114]

It was announced in December 2007 that Middlesbrough football club had carried out more community work during2006–07 than any otherPremier League club, rising from second place the previous year, with the club making 318 appearances – almost twice the Premier League average of 162.[failed verification][115] They were in the top two for community appearances again in 2007–08, with 374 – a 17% increase on the previous season.[116]

Middlesbrough's mascot is Roary the Lion. The club runs Roary's Children's Charity Fund, which purchases items for local children's charities.[117]

In 2009, steel producerCorus Group announced the possibility that it would mothball its Teesside plant after a consortium of steel magnates walked away from a 10-year deal. Middlesbrough Football Club helped with the "Save Our Steel" campaign through various methods.[118] Chairman Steve Gibson said:

"Middlesbrough Football Club exists for the community, for the people of Teesside—and the closure of the steel plants threatens to rip the heart out of our community. We cannot stand by and allow that to happen. We want the steelworkers and their families to know that we are behind them and will help their campaign in any way we can ... We like to think that the football club is the flagship of Teesside. Well this is our town and these are our people and we have to do what we can to help them."[118]
