As far as we know, only two lads are now forever immortalised in the name of a Boro’ fanzine: Martin Gittings and Robin Trott. Now, you surely don’t need us to go into the very obvious reasons why our record scorer had the honour of lending his name to Gitts …
For as long as our awful away record drags on, we’ll always look back to our home fixtures for encouragement. And here we are again; back indoors after coming up short on the road once more. Elliott List‘s strike at Sid James’ Park might have tickled the fancy of our …
The last thing needed at the start of a busy run of games is the first to be called off. So, let’s hope this Exeter trip stays ‘on’. It feels odd to say that. For us, our past experiences of going south-by-south-west to Sid James’ Park don’t fill us with …
Now we’ve let go of the FA Cup for another season, it’s time to get back down to work in the league – and climb up that ladder. There’s no shame in how things went indoors last week against Swansea City. But it was always a sideshow to the main …
It’s a third home game in a row for the Boro’. But this time we’re switching focus back to the FA Cup as the Swans come to town. For so long, Round Three was a big ol’prize for us as a club. After all, it’s not like we stood much …
Well, 2020 is done – and we ain’t sad to see it sink into the deep blue abyss. With concrete shoes on. Now it’s time to see if 2021 is worth staying up for. There are now literally billions of people worldwide who are tuning into Boro’s League Two form; …
With Barnet, Rushden or even Hitchin now just dots in our rear-view mirror, it’s up to the Us to be our festive derby partners. They’re not our first choice, you realise. To be honest, though, it’s a long time since the days of those Boxing Day/New Year Day double-headers that …
It’s time for Boro’ to come out of isolation and show us what they’ve learned over the past 10 days. We hope it’s how to win. It’s been a year of way too many downs and not nearly enough ups. So, we’re feeling starved of a win. Our record for …
As a tight-knit club, it’s good to keep things in the family? And we’ve certainly seen some close family ties over the years. After all, it’s easy for clubs to go out and bring in a player or two from the same club. Or even from the same country. But …
This piece was written for the Stevenage v Newcastle United programme in 1998, before their controversial tie at Broadhall Way that was broadcast around the world on TV. Stevenage Borough FC was founded in 1976; the year of Kevin Keegan curly perms and the kind of fashions you tend to …
