I think I'd be a lot more nervous about a final which Boro were in, even if it's something that's supposedly 'less important'. I'm not sure my nerves could cope with a play-off final for example...

For a team so low down the pyramid, they have quite a big ground (seats about 1,200 I think). They've never done anything too spectacular though...

Yes, but he's only just been given the no 1 shirt. Southgate didn't give it to anyone last year (or this year until now) because he didn't consider we had a 1st choice goal keeper. The dots seem to be connectable...
