thread_title:  Club Records 

message: I've just cleaned up this section just make it both a little more encyclopaedic and informative. I've also added the first match of that season as a "notable match" and added an article on Bulkhaul Limited (Stevie Gibson's company) in case anyone was looking for some info or wants to improve it. I just felt the below text was a bit point of view, though feel free to discuss it here. I think that if should go anywhere, it should go in the  Steve Gibson article.
"Gibson was founder and chairman of Bulkhaul Limited, which was established in 1981 and is dedicated to the global transportation of bulk liquids, powders and gasses. He has often been seen as a fan funding his passion, rather than a businessman working for profit. This meant that the fans were quickly won over and he continues to be held in the highest regard by the fans of his club."

message: I think this article is ripe for a pruning and a shuffle. I'm gonna work on a good summary for the history of the club to replace the large section present currently and create a "History of Middlesbrough F.C" article covering everything in more detail from the stuff already present.

message: Just looking at the York City F.C. page, I was just thinking it might be a good idea to start season by season in detail pages, citing records for the year, major details, sequences etc. What do people think?

replies: text: Sounds a good idea! Based on the layout of the York City page it probably wouldn't be a great idea for us to go back and fill in a list of all events this season, though doing one for next season would make sense. I'm not sure about listing every match result in the league, but I'd do so for cup ones, and a full list of goalscorers for sure. --Simmo676 18:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Current Season 2006-07" page? 

message: Just done a major update of the page including mostly including references, adding a picture of an early kit, removing a non-notable match and some spelling mistakes. --Simmo676 16:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: Right - now I've got access to my old Boro shirts and programmes, what do people want? In particular, I have the programmes from both the first ever game at the Riverside AND our first ever home UEFA Cup game [a Red Square one]. I also have the shirt from the Carling Cup final. What do people think  about putting them in? I havea digital camera and a scanner if people have suggestions.--86.29.25.223 09:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Photos Images

message: I'm in the process of developing a detailed description for past seasons (at least the modern ones that I can find info for). I've done 2 so far which are 2005-06 and 2004-05. If anyone wants to have a look at them and add/delete stuff then feel free. I've also linked them in with the infobox that appears at the bottom of any pages to do with the club.
I'm also considering doing a history of kits, and a pictorial year by year guide - does anyone have any further ideas/recommendations with this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markh991 (talk • contribs) 09:27, Jun 8, 2007 (UTC)
:Found this website http://www.kitclassics.co.uk/kits/Middlesbro.gif to help with the kits. BTW - is there a guide to making the kits around? I'm gonna do the 2007-08 page so need so help on how to make the kits.--Mofs 20:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This should help. I wish I'd found it before I tried to design the early kit, which was a lot of guesswork! --Simmo676 20:40, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cheers! Just had some fun making the 2004-05 kit - will be useful if anyone ever needs the kit for the 70's.--Mofs 19:04, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Season by season history

message: as middlesbrough are situated in North Yorkshire, i feel it is right to classify them and include them under the banner as a yorkshire football club. 
it would seem this is how the legendary Boro born Brian Clough has a view of the situation too; "I'm really thrilled about the whole event - I may be a Yorkshireman but I'm Derby through and through... and you're not getting rid of me."--SalvoCalcio 02:22, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Middlesbrough is located in North East England, one of the official Regions of England according to all their Wikipedia articles, so I would say Middlesbrough, although historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire and part of the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, is actually in North East England regardless of how Clough saw it. --Simmo676 14:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: middlesbrough as a yorkshire club

message: Looking at the kit Simmo676 did for the kit, I was just wondering whether the kit was meant to solid red? Aren't the stripes just the way the kit is made - looking at the pictures of Cattermole on the club homepage they don't seem so pronounced. They just seem like the old 96-97 kit I had that had "boro" written on it and the transporter bridge on the kit as a "background" if you like.
PS: kit looks great on PES6 - didn't think we'd have gold socks tho'! :D --Mofs 10:41, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Based on this it did seem to me that there is a darker red part set of stripes and a lighter red set. Of course they are very, very similar. I just remember before they were revealed there was a lot of rumour that they would be red and dark red stripes, and white and gold, which turned out to be true, so I might be seeing dark red where it doesn't exist, but I thought that's what I saw there. It might not be pronounced enough to be worth putting on the image. --Simmo676 11:29, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New kit

message: You have in your information about Middlesbrough FC that a red lion is that animal in the badge but actually it's the mythical Griffin. I have many sources that say it's a griffin which is half lion, but half bird/eagle aswell. I don't know why Middlesbrough FC have Rory the lion as their mascot when obviously the designer of the crest must of knew he/she drew a griffin, maybe it was too hard to get a griffin cotsume i don't know but the creature on MIddlesbrough FC's crest is a Griffin. So please can you change your information to infrom whoever reads the info so more people are aware.
Thank You
Middlesbrough FC supporter
I'm not sure what your sources say but it's not a griffin. For one thing, griffins have the heads and wings of an eagle. The animal on the crest clearly does not have the head of an eagle, as there's no beak on it, and also doesn't have wings. So therefore, it's not a griffin. --Simmo676 19:01, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
