The Middlesbrough Supporters Forum was my brainchild in 2016. Formed in early 2017 with the agreement of our beloved Middlesbrough Football Club and with the help of MFC visionary Mark Ellis, to bring together the disparate fan groups, it was called by current MFC historian and former Gazette reporter Anthony Vickers a ‘Boro fans mini-parliament’. I stood down as Chair and resigned in 2020 when the recently appointed Chair wasn’t prepared to allow proper debate of sensitive information from MFC that was potentially detrimental to the wellbeing of Boro supporters during and specifically linked to the COVID crisis. MSF’s recent public debacles indicate that it is no longer truly independent; the principal reason it was set up and enshrined in point 1 of its carefully considered constitution(see clause), to call the club to account on behalf of us (MFC’s loyal paying customers).
