Boro fans will once again get the chance to watch Hellberg and his players in action after the club announced plans for a free open training session at the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough next month.

Thousands of supporters are expected to take advantage of the chance to watch training from inside the Riverside, with the club hoping to build excitement around Hellberg's first season in charge.

The event will take place on Monday, August 3, and free tickets will be available to book from 10.00am on Tuesday, July 21, through the club's website.

Turnstiles will open at 1.30pm, with the training session scheduled to begin at approximately 2.30pm and round off by 4.30pm.

Fans wishing to attend are advised to secure their tickets as early as possible, as they are expected to sell out quickly.
