No idea of development. If you look on the Middlesbrough Council Planning portal online you can see all.the plans.
Taking inspiration from Ford Hub,West Allotment, Stockton Town by the looks of it. Pitch in a cage affair

They have won the league title something like 8 times in a row, I wonder what their chances are of winning the title next season?

I feel the opposite way. Any new ground to make a change from those well trodden trips away on a Saturday will be a welcome change.

Has a shovel even been but in the ground yet I think the 'ground' is simply a conversion of an existing 3G facility that was built at the Trinity Catholic College site. It was where St Marys FC had played for many years before being turfed out in favour of Boro Rangers. Plans seem to indicate moving the perimeter fence and instaling a flat pack stand or two. |

It isn't the same ground formerly used by St Mary's. The Boro Rangers pitch is on the Trinity Catholic College site (Old Newlands FCJ School) St Mary's played at T6 (Formerly St Mary's Sixth Form)
St Mary's were removed from their old pitch as it's now solely used by the T6 football Academy. All other playing fields at the School and adjoining Sixth Form are used by Boro Rangers teams.
Work is about to begin on phase two of the development. A stand is going in and viewing areas on three sides of the pitch.

It was where St Marys FC had played for many years before being turfed out in favour of Boro Rangers. Plans seem to indicate moving the perimeter fence and instaling a flat pack stand or two. As someone else has stated above the “St Mary’s” pitch is used solely by T6 College it’s has been upgraded and is well kept with only one game per week allowed on it as it has to meet standards for the National College League. It’s probably the better pitch to be made Northern League suitable but the club have no use of it. This was the pitch St Mary’s used previously the current Astroturf was the old hockey type surface and wasn’t used by anyone which Boro Rangers will be using as a home ground. |

Mark Curtis has told me the following:
Delivery of the stand has been pushed back until 11th September, by the suppliers
Incredibly, it only impacts on 3 home matches - Heaton Stannington on Wednesday 2nd August, West Auckland Town on Wednesday 16th August and North Shields on Saturday 9th September
The rest of the ground will be complete by next Friday, and the toilet will still go in the male officials changing room the following week (once the school has broken up for the summer holidays) - an inspection will then follow shortly after (we just need to upload a video of the stand once it’s delivered)
First home match is now Saturday 30th September, which gives us plenty of time to get our heads around how home matches will work at our new ground
Now that The FA have taken over the inspections, we were never confident of being able to play on Wednesday 2nd August anyway
So, technically, only a further 2 matches have been impacted
