MAJOR improvements including new pitch dividers mean playing on Middlesbrough FC in the Community's superb outdoor pitches is now more fun than ever - and it costs from just £1.50 per player.

So many players took advantage of our introductory offer that it's now been extended throughout the summer, until August 31. 

That means peak-time games are now available at off-peak prices, meaning you pay the same price whenever you choose to play.

There's a choice of Astroturf pitches and floodlit outdoor grass pitches available for five-a-side and seven-a-side matches - and the new dividers mean you can now spend more time playing football.

The revamp has seen the introduction of rebound boards and a netting divide system, providing six additional five-a-side pitches for hire.

MFCiC chairman George Cooke: "We've looked at the development of new facilities across the North East and evolved a way of dividing this large Astroturf into a combination of five- and seven-a-side pitches.

"I'm sure it will prove to be a valuable asset to the people of East Cleveland and the surrounding areas."
