BORO supporters are being invited on guided tours of the club's state-of-the-art training complex at Hurworth, near Darlington.

For a six-week period during the close season, fans can see where the stars train as they go behind the scenes at the £7m Rockliffe Park training ground.

The guided tours will see fans take in the cutting-edge sports science department, rehabilitation area, steam rooms and Jacuzzis, media facilities, players' dressing rooms and synthetic indoor training pitch.

The tours, that last approximately an hour, will be lead by the club's knowledgeable guides who will provide detailed background information on the complex and entertain fans with tales of Boro stars past and present.

The tours, which will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5.30pm and 7pm, begin on Wednesday May 14 and run through to the end of June.

Tours cost £6 each, but are half price for season card holders on production of their 2007-08 card.

The club's tours coordinator, Barry Stewart, said: "Our tours of Rockliffe Park are always a big hit with the supporters and they are back by popular demand.

"This is a unique opportunity for fans to take a look around what is renowned as one of the finest training grounds in the world. We recommend supporters bring their cameras as there are some great opportunities for photographs."

Stadium tours can also be booked on this number, priced £5 for adults and just £2 for under-16s and over-65s. On production of their 2007-08 season card, adult season card holders will be charged just £1 when accompanied by a full-paying non-season card holder.
