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, …
August is over. Autumn is here. It’s nearly Christmas. And it’s now time for the League Two season to hit its stride in earnest. The campaign to date, from a Stevenage perspective, has been pretty forgettable. The end of the summer 2016 transfer window earlier this week means all the cards have been dealt …
In it’s latest and vain attempt to flog its dead horse of a competition, the Football League has truly excelled itself. And, by which, we mean balls it right up. The suits at Football League HQ have an “interesting” idea of what constitutes a winning new formula for its Trophy competition. To us, …
And here we are, once again. It’s been another bruising week for the Goals Against column, but at least it was up against Premier League opposition. Not haughty, hoity, stick it up your toity, high and mighty, tight-nosed, toffee-arsed, sun-dried-tomato-eating lah-de-dah-dy lah-de-daas from League Two. We now know for sure that Stoke City can – in fact …
This is one for the football purists, this is. For the first time in history, Stevenage Football Club and Stoke City Football Club are to go head-to-head. The same pitch. At the same time. It’s Boro’s reward for their heroics at Ipswich Town in the first round of the hitherto …
Alright, what’s occurring? You catch us in the middle of our search for the League Two reset button. This new season is already three matches deep, not that we’ve started it with much aplomb. Just the one, lonely point has come from our opening exchanges, though this is a race with plenty left to run …
And off we go again. It’s still only the second Tuesday of the season and, by the end of it, we’ll be four fixtures down in the 2016-7 season. At this rate, our latest League Two campaign will be all over before you know it. It has been the definitive mixed …
