What to expect from the Riverside Stadium crowd?

Riverside Stadium is a venue in or near Middlesbrough that is most often used for Soccer

The atmosphere at Riverside isn't quite as reliable as it once was, with fans a little disappointed to find themselves fighting relegation back to the Championship. However, the brass have taken action and introduced a singing section called the Red Faction, which is supposed to help provide a bit of atmosphere at the game. Though a little forced, it does help get the home crowd out of their shells and invite a bit of rivalry to the usually raucous away support!

Middlesbrough are still riding a wave that saw some very good years in the Championship rewarded with promotion to the Premiership. Although the realities of a tough season in the top flight are setting in, the fans need to get behind their team and cheer them on to victory.They are doing with this the aid of the 'Red Faction' - an ultra supportive set of supporters who bring flags, songs and drums to the stadium and create an intimidating atmosphere for opposing teams.
