Retro Shirt Day

Boro's season finale this weekend has been declared a 'retro shirt day', with fans encouraged to help make it a sea of colour at the Riverside.

Supporter groups including Red Faction are championing the idea, urging fellow fans to don their retro Boro shirts for the occasion and bringing their scarves, too.
