Work is still ongoing at the Riverside before the start of the Premier League season.

Despite Middlesbrough’s opening fixture with Stoke being just three weeks away, the construction team are working seven days a week in order to ensure that the work is completed.

Boro had to fork out £5m for a revamp of the stadium for it to meet Premier League requirements which have changed massively since the last time the team was in the top flight.

Work being carried out on the stadium includes: improved media room; new floodlights; new camera positions and maintenance to improve safety and security.

The new LED floodlights have been installed, and the new TV gantry is in place in the East Stand - though scaffolding still surrounds it.

Though the work is still being carried out on the stadium, the likelihood is that it will all be finished before the start of the new season - all set for its first appearance back on Match of The Day.
