Matchday Squad

Young supporters and their families can experience all the excitement, atmosphere and drama of a Boro home fixture as part of our Matchday Squad. 

Dozens of schools, football teams and community clubs have taken advantage of the different experiences, which are designed to put the club's youngest fans right at the heart of the action. 

Player Walkout

Ages 5 to 12

There are 10 places available for juniors to walk out on to the Riverside pitch with the Boro players. As the excitement reaches fever pitch and walk-on music plays, the youngsters walk hand-in-hand with a player on to the Riverside pitch. The youngsters will stand in front of the players for the introductions to the crowd - an opportunity not to be missed.

Pitchside Flag Waving

Ages five to 16

Young supporters will proudly line up in front of the West Stand and welcome the players on to the pitch armed with Boro flags. A truly fantastic chance to be right at the heart of the action as the players take to the field of play.

Boro Banners

Ages seven to 16.

Young supporters will proudly hold up our Boro Banners on the pitch.  Another truly fantastic chance to be right at the heart of the action as the players take to the field of play.

Flag Parade

Ages five to 16.

This is a unique chance to parade around the Riverside pitch waving Matchday Squad flags approximately 35 minutes before kick-off to welcome the supporters to the match. This is a fantastic way to raise awareness of your organisation and celebrate its successes.

Half Time Penalties

Ages seven to 12.

This is another one of our most popular and prestigious Matchday Squad Experiences, where teams can compete against each other at half-time taking penalties on the Riverside pitch and helping keep our supporters entertained.
