Back in the day (mebe around 20 years ago) we played Leeds away (SKY game too). We lived near there at the time so, a few weeks before the game I rang Leeds and asked if my two lads could be Boro mascots for the day. They said it would be fine but it was up to Boro who they contacted direct. Got a message from Boro saying it would be fine as long as my lads had new clean Boro kits.
They didn’t have full kit but Boro contact said not to worry we will send them down - and they did.
Pitched up, had a fab day out with them) incl two tickets in Boro end for me and missus. They were interviewed on the pitch, met all the players then led out by Paul Ince.
Didn’t cost me a penny - how times have changed.
Lost 2-0 mind.
Absolutely ridiculous to make this a revenue stream IMO. It means jack schoite in the scheme of things. I like the charity idea on the basis of the kids have to raise the money somehow
