Let’s kick things off by going into a trance. You are feeling sleepy. Very sleepy. Now, it’s April 2016. The madness of Brexit, England getting knocked out the Euros by Iceland and Marmageddon just aren’t a thing. Gene Wilder still walks among us. And, oh lordy lord, the Maldives are still part of the …
It’s one to tell the grandkids, at least. It’s perhaps even our generation’s own JFK moment; to be able to say where you were when Brighton U23s outdid Stevenage on pelanties in the Checkatrade kickabout. Now the future of the England team is all tickety-boo, however, we must return to League Two action. And it’s been a …
Ah, yes – pray silence for the glorious return of a competition that’s going to turn England into world-beaters and earn Shaun Harvey a knighthood. The Checkatrade Trophy is rearing its fugly head for the second time this season. And it pours a bucket of cold water over any hopes that, somehow, our 3-1 defeat at …
Life begins at 40. And by the same token, it also begins on the wrong side of the Severn Bridge for Stevenage Football Club. The latest chapter in the life of this spiffing club is set to open, even if it’s a shame it has to open in Newport. What it is, however, is a …
After a dose of weekend woe, a chance to make it up midweek as Stevenage Football Club go westwards ho! to Cheltenham Town Football Club. For the newly arisen among us, “Chelters” came second in last season’s “Sides Promoted From Non-League That Make You Go Meh” contest. It wasn’t a close run thing …
Yes, that’s right – we’re bringing Exeyback and them other [RUDE WORD, plural] don’t know how to act. Last week’s 1-0 defeat at Wycombe Wandering Lonely As A Cloud saw Stevenage Football Club enter the new millennium of competitive fixtures played. If that was game number 2000 by our records, then Exeter City indoors …
Guten Tag unsere Freunde und Wilkommen, right? Henning Wehn – now there is a funny fecker if ever we saw one. And yet how many of you know of an unbreakable bond between the stand-up comic and Boro’s hosts this weekend? Oh yes, you are hearing us loudly, clearly and, er, rightly – though not for the obvious reason that both …
How do you know it’s autumn? Is it the darker skies, cooler temperatures or the fact that the football season is now a month old? Well, it could be some, all and none of them in equal measure. For us, though, a true measure of when summer has legged it and autumn moves …
It’s true. A week can be a long time in football and Stevenage went a long way to proving that last week. Let’s not focus on the defensive white flag we fluttered in bidding our farewell to August at Grimsby. No, we’ll bask in the lovely warm glow of what we hope is the beginning of Boro’s Indian Summer instead. …
You start a new job, you want to make a good impression – right? We’d like to think anyone making their Stevenage debut feels the same. Part and parcel of the game are transfers; an everlasting conveyor belt of ins and outs to keep things fresh within the ranks. So, …
