Over the years, The Northern Echo has prided itself on putting their audiences right at the heart of our reporting. 

That's why in the first part of a digital intiative series, we've launched the Middlesbrough Football Club Echo Chamber.

The Echo Chamber is an interactive community group on Facebook where we keep you informed with the very latest at your club with news on transfers, fixtures, rumours, players, and everything else at the club from top to bottom. 

Along with that, it's a safe space to get in touch with your memories and nostalgia, get stuff off your chest about your team and have some fun with fellow members. We'd love to hear about your memories and stories of your team. Whether it's someone who's not missed a home game for 50 years or your favourite game you've attended. We want to read about it.

There'll be plenty of content to get stuck into whether it's featured articles, videos where we discuss the latest comings and goings or a blast from the past so stay tuned.

As we say, this is the first part of a digital intiative series meaning we will be launching pages for our Newcastle United, Sunderland and Hartlepool United audiences so keep an eye out for them in the weeks to come. 

The group will have myself, Matty Jones and fellow writer Scott Wilson running the pages and we're excited to hear from you. 

Whilst we want you to keep informed, enjoy the content and have a bit of craic on there, keep it clean. Online abuse has become a big problem over recent years and this won't be one of those environments that gets littered with abuse. Anyone who steps out of line will be removed. 

If you want to join the group, then it's really simple to find. Head over to Facebook and search for 'MFC Echo Chamber' and click 'Join' to be a part of it. Or you can head to www.facebook.com/groups/mfcechochamber and you can find us there.

We hope you enjoy the group and become part of our storytelling.

Up The Echo Chamber!
