Middlesbrough is now on the Monopoly map

A win for the Boro

After the Boro's recent UEFA performance, the town is being rewarded with a special edition of Monopoly.

Middlesbrough has landed its very own official Monopoly board after the Boro put the town on the map during the 2006 UEFA cup.

Leeds, Sheffield, Cardiff and Belfast were all in the running to get their own game but games chiefs say it鈥檚 only because the town missed out on the Cups that they have passed go.

Riverside Stadium Monopoly square

The Riverside is a bargain!

Graham Barnes revealed on 大象传媒 Radio Cleveland that landmarks of Middlesbrough that will definitely appear on the board will be; The Bottle of Notes, The University of Teesside, The Transporter Bridge, The statue of Captain Cook, The Theatre, The Mal and Middlesbrough College.

Graham also confirmed that the two landmarks taking the places of Park Lane and Mayfair will be MIMA and The Riverside Stadium, but did not reveal which order they will appear.

The playing pieces will be the traditional pieces with a few new pieces such as a Thimble, a Horse and a Bridge which may resemble the Transporter Bridge.

The Monopoly Middlesbrough edition creator Mark Marriott says, 鈥淚t鈥檚 vital the new board reflects the hearts and minds of Middlesbrough and the length and breadth of the town."

The game will be in the shops from today, October 27, which incidentally coincides with Captain James Cook's Birthday.

Roads for thought: Brown/Blue - Gresham areas 'Union Street' ? Pink/Orange - Linthorpe road, Borough Road, Red/Yellow - acklam road, cambridge road. Green/Purple - Marton/Nunthorpe 'gunnergate Lane' Train Stations how about Middlesbrough station, durham teesvally airport, middlesbrough bus st. and hmmmmmm summit else! Riverside stadium and maybe transporter bridge for electric and water com.?

Phil Jeynes
Obvious choices for me would be Riverside Stadium, M.bro Station, Transporter Bridge, Newport Bridge, Tees Barrage, Center North East. More less obvious suggestions would be the Dorman Museum, Captain Cook Birthplace Musuem, Albert Park, Stewarts Park, James Cook Hospital, The old Eye Infirmary, Teesside University,The Town Hall, The New Police HQ, Wilton Site, Teesport, Durham Tees Valley Airport maybe......pubs like the Navigation, Central, and the Bridge, and streets/roads such as Linthorpe Rd, Albert Road, Borough Rd, Corporation Rd, The Avenue, Newport Rd, The Grove, Marton Rd, Gypsy Lane, Acklam Road, Cargo Fleet Lane, etc.

7SB Ormesby secondary school, Netherfields
Cargo fleet lane, Stewart park, Albert park, Corporation road, James cook hospital, Pools hospital, Brambles Farm, Pallistar Park, ICI works, River Tees, Linthorpe road. New Prissack park skate park,

Ian
University of Teesside has to be on the board, perhaps replacing the stations as the Uni has so many buildings. Also the Riverside stadium, Captain Cook Square, Cleveland Shopping Center, Dundas Shopping and Mima

stephen collins
town hall, transporter bridge, newport bridge, bottle of notes, elm street

hoddsy
old st hildas because thats wer the town began wiv de old market

neil
although i live in london i still think the old town hall with it,s big clock almost identl 2 Big Ben & its such Grand building its stood the test of time.

fasial ditta of the kings academy
i think this is a good idea it will make the club bigger but they should make a middlesbrough monolpy not just a one place from middlesbrough

col&lynn
we think the trunk road and the wilderness road should get a mention and not forgetting some favourite night spots i.e., the rock garden, the madison, gaskins, speak easy to name but a few.

Ray
Doggie Market, Brambles Farm Hotel

Amy
The Empire should def be included, once a theatre now a brill nightclub!

Tiffany
I think they should add Middleton-in-Tees and the High Ridge waterfall.

Alex
'Over the border'

anne
albert park,stewarts park,town hall

Jacqui Foster
It would be really great if Eston Mines could be featured in the game as it was at the heart of the industrial revolution

It should definitely include the Steelworks and/or ICI. Maybe Ayresome Park instead of the Riverside.

TA
CAPTAIN COOKS MUSEUM

zoe barron

St Hilda's, North Ormesby Market, the Laurel Hotel, Saltersgill Pub, Trunk Road, grangetown Boys Club & My back garden as I like to sit & ponder with my pet dog sat next to my pond on an evening.

K
Transporter bridge, Newport bridge, Albert bridge, Riverside stadium, Ayresome park, Stewarts Park, Steel works, Albert Park, Tees Barrage, River Tees. And have a football as one of the pieces, along with the football boot.

KC
Perhaps some of the buildings no longer with us - Marton Hall, Gunnergate Hall, Tollesby Hall

joe hardy
i think that you should add center north east on albert road because it is the tallest building in middlesbrough

Rachel Breen
I think Teesport, the Transporter Bridge, ICI and British Steel should be included.

Anthony Smith
Ingleby Barwick becuse its the largest private Housing estate in Europe

Gavin Lenaghan
A smattering of pubs has got to occupy prime priority - Ship Inn or the Blue Bell, anyone? Still, other sites on my list of suggestions would be those of such novel singularity as Ormesby Hall and Acklam Hall, the Old Town Hall, mima and the University and College of Art. Kudos, erm, Monopoly-manufacturing power-broker people. Fine folks indeed. Cough. And please, do pass Go and collect 拢200...

The University of Teesside. It takes up a large area of the town, and ensures that 'Teesside' makes it onto the board.

andrea moon
they shouldn't get one at all they lost at football so get over it.
