Middlesbrough FC to auction old stadium club crests to fans

Middlesbrough FC fans could get their hands on a genuine piece of the Riverside Stadium, after the club put its old crests and iconic signage up for sale.

Following the installation of the club’s new crest, the original stadium crests that stood proudly at the front of the ground for nearly 20 years are now available via sealed bid.

Two crests – from the North End and South End – are up for grabs for anyone looking for the ultimate Boro keepsake.

The individual letters from the famous Middlesbrough FC Riverside Stadium sign that once hung above the main reception were also available.

But at £100 per letter on a first-come, first-served basis, they didn’t last long, with all letters already sold out.

All items show the weathering you’d expect from two decades of Teesside weather which, if anything, only adds to their charm.

All proceeds from the auction will go to the MFC Foundation, which uses the power of football to give back to local communities. 

Fans can view the items at the Riverside Stadium main reception on Wednesday, July 15 from 11am to 1pm or Thursday, July 16 from 5pm–7pm.

Sealed bids must be submitted by 12pm on Monday, July 20, with collection from the Riverside Stadium by Friday, July 24.

Buyers will need to arrange their own transport and assistance for collection.

The crest auctions can be found via SliderStock – Stadium badges and letters website.
