Boro's clash with Cardiff tomorrow is being shown on foreign TV.

The Flying Horse, 52 Wilson Street, London EC2A 2ER

Boro face Millwall in Saturday's televised tea-time kick off. MSS invites all Boro fans in London to join us, have a few beers and cheer the Boro on to victory.

We've had difficulty getting a venue due to the clash with the rugby. We've managed to secure THE FLYING HORSE near Moorgate, exclusively for MSS - we have the place to ourselves!  The Flying Horse serves food, a selection of real ales and lagers and has a large projector and 2 additional plasma screens.

Please RSVP on Facebook and spread the word to fellow exiled Teessiders.

Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson started this year off on a very positive note by receiving a cheque for £14,500 for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

Steve is a Patron of the cancer charity launched by Sir Bobby to find better ways to detect and treat cancer and which directly benefits patients from across the north east and Cumbria.

The money was raised through a charity football match at the Riverside organised during the summer by 35-year-old Andy Clark who is originally from Billingham and now lives in London.

It was the fourth time Andy had arranged the charity game and this year was particularly special as it was in memory of his close friend Grant Harrison and last year’s match mascot Tom Gardiner.

Grant, 36, originally from Stokesley, died on holiday last January when he was electrocuted when reaching for a bottle of water from a fridge in Thailand.

And 12-year-old Tom from Middlesbrough, died from a brain tumour in December 2011.  Both Tom and Grant’s families attended the game.

Andy says: “Tom was mascot at last year’s charity match and his bravery touched everyone.  And Grant was a good friend of mine who played an integral part in all the games so the idea was to try and do something in their memory.  

“Tom’s sister Lucy was this year’s mascot and it was lovely that the families supported the event and came along to watch.  It was a very special and very emotional night.”

The game brought together passionate Boro fans who were keen to run out at the Riverside alongside former players Curtis Fleming, George Boateng, Gaizka Mendieta, Ugo Ehiogu, Neil Maddison and Colin Cooper.

Andy, who helps run Middlesbrough Supporters South, adds: “I hadn't planned to do another game but when I heard the sad news about Grant and Tom I decided I had to organise another game in their memory.

“There was a really enthusiastic crowd of about 1,000 people who came to watch the Boro heroes and support friends and family and that really added to the occasion.

“The Boro stars were great, posing for photos and chatting to fans and the match itself was entertaining with the blues running out 4-2 winners.

“Overall, the four games have raised over £45,000 for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which is testament to the great generosity of the Teesside public.”

The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation funds projects within the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust that directly benefit cancer patients from across the north east and Cumbria and which contribute significantly to research into the disease.

Thanks to magnificent support from volunteer fund-raisers and generous donors, it has now raised over £4.7million and is making a significant impact in the fight against cancer.

Steve says: “Andy and his friends continue to do our club proud with their fantastic efforts for such a worthwhile cause.

“The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation is making a real difference to cancer services in our region and also paying for vital research into the disease.

“Cancer affects most us in some way during our lives and anything we can do to fight it has my wholehearted support.”

In the last year, Sir Bobby’s widow Lady Elsie has officially opened the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation PET Tracer Production Unit, which was jointly funded by the charity and Newcastle University.  The charity also announced it was contributing £850,000 towards life-saving new cyber surgery equipment at the Northern Centre for Cancer Care at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle.

Both of these major advances in treatment and tumour detection for cancer patients will work in tandem with the clinical trials of new drugs within the Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Trials Research Centre.

The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation is intrinsically linked to the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Charity and the substantial support it receives from this local NHS Charity means it can significantly limit administrative costs.

It does not employ professional fund-raisers to pro-actively raise money and co-ordinate volunteers and relies completely on third party and volunteer fund-raisers.

FMTTM editor ROB NICHOLS looks back at last week's MSS Christmas Party.

I was fortunate enough to be at the pre-match press conference at Hurworth on Thursday and asked Tony Mowbray is he was looking forward to going to the MSS Party. “Party?” he retorted, ““I didn’t know it was a party. It won’t be much of a party if we don’t get the right result.”

Half way through the second half with Boro pegged back to 2-2 and the momentum firmly with the home side the party mood was in real danger of collapse. I wondered just how much comfort the Boro boss would draw after a defeat from a roomful of masks in his likeness. From the moment Ishmael Miller walloped home the winner from 20 yards this first ever MSS Party held in Peterborough was bound to be a cast iron success.

Held in a splendid back room of the Brewery Tap pub, the party was a stone’s throw from the railway mainline and only a few minutes wander from London Road. It was very nearly a pre-match sell out with only a handful of tickets held back on the door in the trust of James Nugent and the man with the red MSS party wristbands, Andy Clark.

With a win in our sails and Boro highlights from another age playing out on the wall Boro fans chatted away merrily, whilst snapping up raffle tickets and supporting Zoes Place. Proc and Neil Bausor soon arrived with the real Tony Mowbray, as opposed to the masked variety and despite being hoarse the Boro boss addressed and enthralled the audience. He fielded questions and not all friendly fire, either. Subjects tackled ranged from Stewart Downing to tactics v Peterborough, tactics in our defeat v Bristol City. And does he over-do it on the tactics front?

The answers were comprehensive, honest and extremely revealing of the processes Mowbray and his staff deploy in the task to leave this Championship behind. From a thoroughly overhauled scouting system to studying stats and facts with an analyst on the bus home no stone is left unturned. As Mowbray pointed out in this day and age you cannot afford not to be so diligent and far reaching in your preparation and approach. Mowbray ended by talking of how much he lived for football and the task in hand of gaining promotion for Boro.  No one present was with any doubts that he meant exactly what he said.

Before the party Tony Mowbray had this to say about his appearance at the party. “And the bottom line for me is I’m going just out of respect for the people who follow our club and I think whatever the result is the supporters who travel a lot to watch us and live down south and have no less passion for the football club than the people who live on Teesside. I think it is important that the club show that and give them something back.”

After the departure of the Middlesbrough party it was time for some serious drinking and eating the copious and extremely palatable spread. Then off to the station and heading into the night, with smiles on our faces and hope in our hearts from what had been a top day and night in the other Boro, The Posh Boro. Thanks for a great party MSS.
