YOUNG footballers from Middlesbrough got busy with mops and buckets at the BT Cellnet Riverside Stadium yesterday in a bid to raise funds. The Whinney Banks under-16 soccer team was sponsored to clean seats in the 9,000 capacity West Stand to raise money for a tournament later in the year. Lesley Stephenson, Boro's cleaning supervisor, said: "We were delighted to accept the team's offer to clean the seats. We always try to keep them spruce ourselves, but it's useful to have some extra pairs of hands."
