'A season of consolidation and transition ahead?'
"It has been a rather slow summer. From the Coventry game at the end of last season to now, it feels like things have been moving at a glacial pace." Ahead of Middlesbrough's opening game of the new season at home to Swansea on Saturday (15:00 BST) Boro fan Chris Saunders joined BBC Radio Tees' Rob Law to look ahead to the new campaign. "I felt that after the absolute trainwreck that was last season, I had to detox from it all, but I'm so pleased it is back," Saunders said. "I have no expectations of us doing anything this season. I think it will be a season of consolidation and transition. "That feeling could change depending on the incomings and outgoings between now and the end of the window, however, as it stands, I haven't seen a squad this ill-prepared for a season in a long time." Listen to the BBC Radio Tees season preview in full via BBC Sounds.

Ryanair travellers can now bring a Trunki for children free
Trunki is a ride-on suitcase specifically designed for kids. At 46 x 21 x 31cm, it was designed to fit in the overhead locker and for children to wear as a backpack when they're not riding on it. But, since the rules tightened on hand luggage sizes, posters on Mumsnet reported not being able to take it as free hand luggage, as it exceeded the small bag dimensions. A post shared by Trunki (@trunkitravels) One Mumsnet poster asked: "Has anyone taken a Trunki on a Ryanair flight recently? My 2 children were going to take them as their free cabin baggage on our flight on Friday but now I've realised they're too big according to the Ryanair website - does anyone know if they make exceptions for the Trunki? I've tried the Livechat on the website but (of course) they are too busy and can't reply." Another poster replied: "I'm sure they will happily take them on as the paid for 10kg cabin baggage but not sure why they would take them on as their free option. Yes its a bit annoying as we had a Trunki night as a present just before they changed their rules but we now just use them for car travel." Another added: "We assumed we could in 2019. We couldn't and had to pay on the way out. On the way back we put them in our pushchair bag for free to avoid paying the extra cost." There was also some confusion about ticket types, with another poster saying: "My kids always travel with their trunkies, they have always been accepted as hand luggage by all companies including Ryanair. Travelled with them in June 2021, no issues. We hadn't booked the absolute cheapest tickets though, we had booked the least expensive of the various upgrades available." However, a post on Ryanair's website says Trunkis are now accepted. The Ryanair Travelling with Children page says: "Yes, children (2-11 years) are permitted to carry one Trunki case, which may exceed these dimension limits of the small bag (40 x 20 x 25cm). As well as Trunki cases, other brands with similar dimensions are also accepted on board." Recommended reading: According to luggage storage company Bounce: "If you are traveling with children, there are a number of different luggage cases on the market designed to double up as seating for a young child. These include cases from MiaMily and Trunki. "Your youngster can sit on the case and roll alongside you, saving you the effort of carrying them in your arms alongside managing all your luggage. These types of cases are also small and lightweight, which makes them eligible as a carry-on for most airlines." Trunki is a brand of ride-on/carry-on hand luggage for children, designed by Rob Law. The product became well-known after featuring on the UK television series Dragons' Den in 2006. The company has gone on to sell more than 3,000,000 Trunki suitcases, in over 100 countries worldwide, through retailers including John Lewis, Argos, Harrods, Tesco and Next.
