Promoter's comment; As much as I would like to promote ALT0 @The Rambling Man:, I can't as it was the injury that occurred after 2 seconds, not the substitution (which the article says happened in the 4th minute). The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:27, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Route to the final[edit]

"first match of the two-legged tie taking place at Broadhall Way in Stevenage on 10 May 2015." I don't think there would be any harm in linking the town of Stevenage here.
