FOOTBALL fans will be able to take advantage of the latest technology following the launch of a new website.

Middlesbrough Football Club staged the official launch of its new website - mfc.co.uk - with the help of manager Bryan Robson and players Christian Karembeu and Robbie Mustoe.

The trio outlined details of the site, which is designed to replace the club's existing website, at the Riverside Stadium, yesterday.

A club spokesman said it will offer more opportunities for fans than ever before.

"It will set the standard for football club websites," he said.

"It has unparalleled access to the club's day to day goings on, and fans will be able to get tickets for home games and make Boro-related bets."

As well as being able to buy club merchandise, the first fans to register on the site, which goes live at 4pm today, will be given free posters.

There will also be a £250 cash prize on offer to fans every day for the next month.
