richmfc 41 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I wonder whats changed over the last 18 months to now make it viable. And wouldnt it have made sense to open in stockton for those people that dont go to middlesbrough Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Its much smaller than the one at Captain Cook's for one thing, so rent would be cheaper. I imagine there's been enough of a resurgence in people buying merch that it makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I think given we are looking more likely to get to promotion than 18 months ago increases the interest in the area. I think a store in the town centre is more accessible to the many than having to trek to the stadium as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Air Resistance 26 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Seems slightly bonkers to close in the first, but given the upturn in our fortunes over the last 18 months I think it's fantastic news. To be fair we probably got enough money from beating Man U to keep it open for years. Link to post Share on other sites

gibba85 0 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The Boro site only describes it as a pop-up shop so it doesn't sound like a permanent move. http://www.mfc.co.uk/news/article/2014/middlesbrough-boro-mfc-official-cleveland-centre-2800378.aspx Link to post Share on other sites
Block53 12 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 If it's a success it'll be become permanent. Anyone know if there's a ticket office there? Was far more convenient nipping to the town centre store for tickets. Link to post Share on other sites
