Middlesbrough Women FC announce their new sponsors for this season.. I was quite surprised that they didn't just have the same kit as the men's team tbh

Their affiliation with the men’s team is fairly limited these days. They used to have the same badge and kit, but usually different sponsors. They seem to be going separate ways over the last few years, but not sure why there isn’t the association with the main MFC as you’d expect.

I would have thought that the club would want to keep the Women's team as part of the whole club. I can sort of understand the women's team wanting to bring in their own sponsors etc and have more control over merch etc..

A brief history...

1921: The FA bans women from playing on Football League grounds. “…the game of football is quite unsuitable for females and ought not to be encouraged."

1971: The FA Council lifts the ban which forbade women playing on the grounds of affiliated clubs.

Its a great set up and the lad who runs it has just taken over from only running one of the junior teams - he's a top fella and full of enthusiasm.

It is a bit sad that the club dont do more to support the Lionesses.

To be fair whilst they should've done more the Ladies team seem a bit off at times as well. OneBoro were going to sponsor a men's player a few years ago and raised some cash. The Ladies team started to engage with the forum - once they'd donated the cash they lost interest and stopped bothering! Talk about gratitude!

If it’s a separate club then it wouldn’t have anything to with MFC I just thought we would have had a Women’s team.
