FOOTBALL fans can go behind the scenes at one of the region's top training grounds.
The Middlesbrough FC £7m facility at Rockliffe Park, in Hurworth, is to open for five weeks during the summer.
For the second year running, supporters can take an hour-long tour of the centre visiting the sports science department, players' dressing rooms and synthetic indoor training pitch.
Tours take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from Monday until the end of June.
The cost of the tour is £5 but season ticket holders will be offered a £1 discount.
Tour coordinator Barry Stewart said the tours were a big hit last summer so were back by popular demand."
